Globally we are seeing a return to bright coloured clothing after the dreary pandemic-era work-from-home pajama-like uniform.

The TOP Colour Signature line of powder and liquid detergent delivers what consumers need,” says Ms Carmen Foo, Senior General Manager of Southern Lion Sdn Bhd.
The TOP Hari-Hari Warna-Warni campaign will introduce the new Colour Signature line nationwide through nationwide roadshows, and through a collaboration with Kloth Cares and INTI International College Subang’s Center of Art and Design (ICAD) Fashion Design that encourage Malaysians to learn how to prolong the life and vibrancy of their fabrics including caring for, collecting, repurposing and upcycling to help the Earth.
According to research a staggering 2 million kilogrammes of textile waste and other wearable products end up in Malaysian landfills, daily.

Try to prolong the life of your wearables with a detergent that can keep your items looking and feeling their best for longer to reduce the rate with which you must replace your clothes. Reuse and Repurpose these items at home or at work giving them a second life. If you run out of these options, visit the TOP roadshows, and contribute your fabric items to keep them out of landfills,” says Ms Nik Suzila, Co-founder of Kloth Cares.

[1] Always check brand new clothes for colour fastness before adding to your regular laundry load. Cotton, wool and silk are more likely to leach dye on the first few washes compared to synthetic materials such as polyester, nylon and acrylic. Wash clothes of these materials separately on the gentle cycle in cold water to be safe.
