Whether it means fixing an old favorite or making something new fit better, there’s always a hack that can come to the rescue. We’ve rounded up some of our top hacks to get more and better wear from your clothes. Check them out.
Get Lipstick Off
For anyone who wears makeup but hates getting it on their clothes, now all you need is a little shaving foam. Get makeup off clothes by simply saturating the spot with shaving cream, leave on for a few minutes, rinse with cold water, and repeat. Finally, rinse with hot water and wash regularly.
Replace a Drawstring
Pyjamas or hoodies, if you hate it when your drawstring comes off, a safety pin is your best bet. Attach a safety pin to the end of the string or elastic band to help pull it back through. Done!
Save Your Shoes
If you love walking everywhere, yet don’t quite know how to rescue your favorite ballerina flat, read on. Place a stripe of painters tape to cover everything but the tip of your shoes and spray paint with black, gold, or any other color you like. You get a two-toned effect and save some money too.
Never Lose a Sock Again
Your lingerie bags aren’t just for washing lingerie. Use them to keep everything from baby socks to smaller, more delicate items from getting lost in the rinse cycle.
Prevent the Dreaded Fade
If you’re a big believer in dark wash denim that matches with everything, you know the struggle to keep them intact. This awesome hack has you adding a cup of white vinegar to your final wash cycle to keep them looking as good as new.
Say Goodbye to Sweat Stains
Apparently, all you need is a little mix of vinegar, baking soda, salt, and hydrogen peroxide and you don’t have to throw away that favorite shirt at all.
Unstick Your Zipper
All you need to do this is get a candle or wax crayon and rub it on either side of the zipper. Run it up and down a couple of times and voila, it’s fixed!
Use these tips, and you’ll find you get more use from your garments than ever before.
