Tricks to Up Your Game in the Laundry Room
DIY Solution to Get Rid of Wrinkles
In a spray bottle, mix together 1 cup of water and 1 tablespoon of fabric softener or 1 cup of vinegar. If you end up using vinegar, you can add essential oils to freshen up the scent. Just make sure to test a small area first before spraying your whole garment.
The Secret Ingredient to Soft Towels
Adding distilled white vinegar to the fabric softener compartment of your washing machine will not only help keep your towels fluffy but will also kill any bacteria, too!
Remove Gum Without Touching It
Grab an ice cube and freeze up the piece of gum so that it hardens. Once it is solidified, you can carefully scrape it off with a butter knife or something else sharp with ease.
Get Your Greasy Paw Prints Off Your Clothes
One way to get rid of the stain is to use a little bit of shampoo or dishwashing soap to remove it. Since dish liquid and shampoo work well when it comes to removing grease off of dishes (or your hair), it works the same with most fabrics.
Use a Salad Spinner for Delicate Items
Just fill the spinner with water and detergent, toss in your garments, let them soak. To dry them, remove them from the container so that you can rinse out and dry them, then “spin” your clothes to ring them out gently so it’ll speed up your hang-dry time.
An Eco-Friendly Way to Wash Your Cap
Instead of rinsing it out and creating bubbly chaos in the sink, just toss the cap in with your load in the washer!
