Laundry and dry clean
As Sydney’s mornings warm up and the wool coats go back into the cupboard, a proper spring wardrobe refresh isn’t just about tidiness — it’s about protecting winter pieces from moths, mildew and stored-in stains. This local guide walks through how to clean and store coats, knits and suits properly, what to do about lingering perfume and body oils, and how WashMate handles seasonal cleaning.

A spring wardrobe refresh is your chance to safely store winter coats and bring summer pieces back to life. WashMate makes the spring wardrobe refresh effortless.
As Sydney transitions from the cooler months into spring, it’s the perfect time to refresh your wardrobe — cleaning and storing winter pieces properly while bringing out spring and summer clothing in great condition. Getting this transition right protects your investment and makes the change of season feel effortless.
Even clothing that looks clean has invisible traces of body oils, perspiration, and environmental pollutants. In storage, these residues attract insects, promote mould in humid conditions, and cause fabric degradation. The result is clothing emerging from storage with stains you don’t remember, damaged fibres, or a persistent musty smell. A professional clean before storage removes all residues and ensures garments come out next season in the same condition they went in.
Spring means pulling out linen, light cotton, silk, and breathable blends. Linen wrinkles in storage and benefits enormously from professional pressing. Silk that’s been stored should be checked for oxidised stains. Light cotton pieces with last year’s sunscreen or perspiration residue should be professionally cleaned before wearing.
Ready to try WashMate? we collect from your Sydney home or office and return your items fresh, folded and ready to wear in 3–5 business days. Also see our guides on how pickup and delivery works and Sydney dry cleaning services.
Once professionally cleaned, store in breathable fabric bags — not plastic, which traps moisture and causes mildew. Fold heavy knits rather than hanging them to prevent stretching. Cedar blocks or lavender sachets deter moths without chemical residue. Cool, dry, dark storage is ideal through Sydney’s warm months.

Sydney’s seasonal transition typically begins in September, with cooler clothing going into storage and spring pieces coming out. Ideal timing for professional cleaning is late August through early October, before the full seasonal change.
Yes — this is the single most important step. Even apparently clean items carry invisible body oils, moth-attracting residues, and airborne pollutants. Professionally cleaned and properly stored items emerge the following winter in excellent condition.
Clean first, then use breathable garment bags (never plastic, which traps moisture). Hang heavier coats on broad shoulder hangers to maintain shape. Store in cool, dark, dry locations — not hot attics or damp basements.
Yes — and it’s highly recommended. Items stored even in good conditions benefit from professional cleaning before wear. This removes any musty storage odours and refreshes fabric for immediate wearing.
