laundry.

Play video showing how to
hang stretch garments to
avoid hanger bumps!
(It may take a second for
the screen to load)
Hanger bumps on your shoulders:
Fold stretchy garments like sweaters, shoulder to shoulder, place the
hanger in the arm pit and hang. (See video to the left!)
Oil and Grease stains on your clothes (Salad oil included!):
Sprinkle with perfume free baby powder, let set a few minutes and whisk
off. May be necessary to do a few times. This even removes those
spots that the dry cleaner left!
Red wine stain:
Remove with white wine and then soda water.
Blood stain:
Your own spit. Gross, huh? Works like a charm!
Water stains on shoes:
Rub with vinegar, a lot of vinegar!
Make up stains and iron scorch stains:
Non everything, cheap, baby wipes. This is becoming old hat now, but
not too many people know about the iron scorch trick!
Ink stains:
Hair spray. Be sure to put towels underneath to catch the run off ink.
Magic!
Ring around the collar:
Wash with baby shampoo cause it’s the same gunk that’s in your hair.
Bad sweat stains:
Apparently soaking with vodka will take it out but I’m too cheap to try
this, so I can not personally endorse this one.
Leather shoes too tight:
Rub the insides with rubbing alcohol and wear. Sounds like fun?
Love polar fleece, but hate the pill-balls:
Brush with a suede brush and it will look like new.
