Clothes Tips
By Fiona Gordon
|
Fresh scents
Scented waters, such as lavender water, are a great way to
infuse a heavenly, yet subtle smell into your clothing. Add
scented water to an iron, and on steam setting, gently waft
over clothing. Great for clothes that have been in storage
for the season.
Bra dilemma
Does the under wire in your bra always poke through after a
few wears? It could be the way you are storing them. Hanging
bras on a hook in your closet prevents the under wire from
getting twisted and pulled, as it would in a dresser drawer.
Perfect purchase
If you find a pair of black pants or a skirt that are the
perfect fit, consider buying more than one pair. Black tends
to fade after a while, but with two pairs of the same pants,
the wear and tear takes longer. And black matches with
everything!
Spot remover
Trying to remove a stain from your favourite suede jacket or
skirt? Lightly rub over the stain with an emery board to get
rid of the spot.
Static cling control
Need a quick way to fight static on your clothes? Carry a
dryer sheet with you in your purse – rub it on the underside
of your skirt or pantyhose to keep your clothes static free.
Fast fix for loose buttons
Losing the button off your jacket but don’t have time to sew
it back on? Use a dab of clear nail polish to seal the
threads onto the centre of the button as a temporary
solution.
Keep clothes fresh
Before you put your clothes away for the winter, insert a
fabric softener sheet, lavender sachet or to keep them
smelling fresh for next season.
