Tired of tossing clothes? These 10 products help your wardrobe go the distance

If the last few months left your sweaters looking a little worse for wear, this compact fabric shaver will quickly get them into fresh-off-the-rack shape. Just gently glide it on particularly linty spots. Bobbles, begone!

"Got a new-to-me couch and the stitching was pilling," divulged one of over 90,000 5-star reviewers. "This shaver made it look so much better with no damage to the leather. This would have taken me twice as long with a pair of scissors."

While I'm too lazy to wash pieces by hand, I always put my delicates in mesh laundry bags before tossing them in the washing machine. The bags do a great job of protecting clothes from snags, tangles and other damage during the wash. Plus, they help keep colors from bleeding into each other. I found this seven-piece set with various sizes to fit all your laundry needs, and it's only $9.

I've had my fair share of issues with wire and thick plastic hangers. They've stretched out my tops or poked holes in them, but these velvet-flocked hangers have been a game changer. The slimmer profile saves space in my closet, and the velvet keeps my clothes from slipping off and ending up on the floor. Another amazing bonus? The velvet helps reduce creasing, so I'm ironing and steaming way less often.

The heat and tumbling of the dryer can wear out fabrics, cause shrinking and even fade colors, so air-drying your clothes is a simple and effective way to help them last longer. While most of us already do this with delicate items like lingerie, silk, lace or knits, consider air-drying other pieces too. For example, when I've tossed my Lululemon Align leggings in the dryer, they came out pilled. But since I started hanging them to dry on a rack like this, I've had no issues at all. I do the same with jeans, and they actually look better when I don't dry them in high heat.

As someone who spills something nearly every time I eat or drink, one of these Tide pens is always in my bag (it's compact, so it even fits in my smallest purses). This little lifesaver works wonders at getting stains out of my clothes, and it's especially great for traveling since I'm often away from a washing machine. The pen quickly spot-cleans stains before they set in, making it easier to keep clothes looking fresh until I can give them a proper wash. 

Sweaters and other knitwear should never be hung on hangers — it stretches them out and causes them to lose their shape. Fold them instead to keep them in tip-top shape. I've honed my clothes-folding skills over the years, but if you find it hard to fold items (or you attempt to but they still end up looking messy in your closet), consider picking up some handy folding boards. They make the process super easy — just four simple steps to a tidy wardrobe.

If you're looking to create more closet space, it might be tempting to shove out-of-season clothes into a corner somewhere. But storing them in bags like these keeps them safe from damage. Yahoo Home Writer Kristin Granero uses these bags to protect sweaters and knits — many of which are precious heirlooms or thoughtful gifts. Read her full review of the protective storage bags here.

I love to snuggle up in a cozy cashmere sweater, but, since they can be on the pricey side, the last thing I want is to find holes in my favorite pullovers. So I plan to snag these non-toxic cedar blocks, which have a scent that repels moths (and the moth larvae responsible for the damage). Over 7,400 Amazon shoppers recommend them for banishing the creatures from closets and clothing storage bins. One recent buyer wrote that these have a "fresh scent and (are) strong," adding: "My sweaters will live another day from the moths in my closet!"

In the past, I've been tempted to just toss out clothing with little holes, especially inexpensive items like T-shirts. However, I've been embracing the idea of mending things before deciding to replace them. And while I'm far from a professional seamstress, this handy little kit that has everything I need to fix small holes or sew on a button, and it feels great to give my clothes a little extra love to make them last longer.
