According to ITV, the average school uniform now costs over £92, and that’s just for the compulsory items. Throw in shoes, bags, and PE kits, and the final figure keeps on rising.
So, it’s no surprise that more families are turning to secondhand treasures from clothing banks, charity shops, and hand-me-downs to keep expenses low. While reusing and repurposing old uniforms is a win for wallets (and the environment), it often brings its own challenges – from peculiar odours and stubborn stains, to fabrics that have lost their lustre.
That’s where the cleaning experts at home and personal care brand Method step in, with clever ways to rejuvenate school gear and reset for September. Here’s how to keep uniforms (and your sanity) in check and selling like they’ve come straight off the shelves, this academic year.
Hand-me-downs and charity shop treasures are great for the purse strings, but they don’t always have the freshest scent. The silver lining? This expert-recommended detergent only sells for £7.75, which gets you 33 washes.
Simply toss them into the washing machine with a capful of your preferred laundry detergent, like Method’s concentrated laundry detergent in Peony Blush. This potent formula eliminates musty smells and leaves behind a long-lasting, fruity-fresh aroma, making clothes smell brand new. It’s also gentle on fabrics, helping to preserve the quality and colour of garments with each wash.
A 20-degree cycle is all you need—it’s kind to clothes and colours and better for the environment, too. With up to x33 washes per bottle, it’s a cost-effective way to make every pound go further and give those secondhand gems a much-needed Method makeover.
Shoppers have given this detergent plenty of 5-star reviews, with one buyer beaming, “Best laundry detergent. It smells amazing and leaves your clothes spotless.”
Another customer writes: “Wash very well, amazing perfume, small amount with maximum effectiveness.”
And a third chimes in: “I am only using this product at the moment. Each scent is really lovely, and clothes are clean and fresh after washing.”
You can find the same Method Concentrated Laundry Liquid Peony Blush from Ocado for the same £7.75. Or, if you’d prefer other scents, you can find the Method Wild Lavender Laundry Detergent for £10 at Dunelm or Waitros stocks the Method Laundry Liquid Tropical Coconut for £7.75 too.
