Clothing Care 101 - The First of Many Installations... - 4/07/2008





Quick deodorant smear fix from SheFinds – rub the fabric together over the smudge, rubbing your tights or hose on the marks

Got ink on your (washable) clothing? – spray it with hairspray & rub together, then wash

Remove anything oily from fabric – Dust with baby powder, let it soak up the blotch, toss in the wash. Magic, I swear!

Lipstick stains on washable fabric – dab rubbing alcohol on spot, soak stain in warm water & dishwashing liquid, soak 10 minutes, rub in & wash as usual

How to machine wash beaded or embroidered clothing (as long as it’s washable) – turn inside out, toss is pillow case, knot closed as close to the item as possible so there’s less room for it to move around in, wash on delicate with gentle detergent & lay flat to dry.

Fixing underarm discoloration on white clothes – drop an aspirin in the wash once the basin has filled, allow the wash to complete.
