1. Preserve the Color of Your Jeans
Jeans are suitable for most age groups, providing a youthful and dynamic look. Wondering how to prevent your new jeans from fading and keep them looking fresh? After purchase, soak your jeans in cold water mixed with a generous amount of salt, vinegar, or lemon juice for at least 12 hours. Then, rinse with clean water. Avoid using soap for the first wash.
Start by agitating the jeans as if washing normally until the salt dissolves, then add more water and soak the jeans for 30 minutes. Finally, take out the jeans, wring them dry, wash them again with detergent as usual, turn them inside out, and air dry. The salt will help stabilize the fabric color and slow down the fading process. Additionally, after washing the jeans this way for the first time, you can wear them two to three times before washing again within a week. For the next wash, soak the jeans in warm water for about 10 minutes. Then, rinse once more with warm water and air dry to keep the color lasting and vibrant for longer.


2. Repairing Torn Stockings
Carrying a nail polish in your purse can be truly handy when attending parties or events. If your stockings accidentally snag on something, use a glossy nail polish to prevent the tear from getting larger as you move.
So, as soon as you notice your stockings scratched or torn, dab some clear nail polish onto the damaged area. Once the polish dries, gently pull the fabric to prevent the stockings from sticking to your skin. For longer scratches or wider tears, you can use hairspray as a substitute adhesive.
















10. Removing chewing gum from clothes
You can't seem to give up the habit of chewing gum. However, you find it incredibly bothersome when bits of gum get stuck to your clothes and you can't find a way to clean them off. This is one of the most commonly used methods for removing chewing gum from clothes that many people rely on. First, fold your clothes, exposing the gum-stained part. Then, place your garment in the freezer for about 30 minutes and then remove it. By now, the gum stuck on your clothes should have hardened, making it easy for you to separate the gum from the fabric and proceed to wash your clothes as usual.
If your household doesn't have a refrigerator, you can use ice instead. Simply place some ice on the gum stuck to your clothes. After a while, the gum will harden, allowing you to peel off the gum stuck on your clothes, and then you can proceed to wash them.


11. Zipper won't get stuck anymore
Each zipper has two strips with fixed teeth. These strips consist of interlocking hooks and recesses. When you pull the slider across these two strips, the teeth will interlock in the groove of the slider at a corresponding angle.
However, there are cases when your zipper gets stuck repeatedly. It can be quite frustrating, isn't it? Simply take a candle or a wax pen and rub it around the zipper several times. Once done, rest assured that your zipper won't easily get stuck anymore.


12. Clothes Stained with Ink
If your clothes are stuck with stubborn ink stains and despite trying hundreds of methods, they still won't disappear, then use hand sanitizer applied to that dirt spot and wait for 10 minutes. Something magical will happen to your clothes right away.
For ink stains stuck on clothes, soak the clothes in warm milk for a while and then gently rub until the ink fades. If there is no milk, use soap mixed with gasoline (without water) and apply this solution to the dirt spot. Gently rub with your hand until the ink dissolves, then wash with soap and rinse thoroughly with water.


13. Whitening Clothes with Rice Vinegar and Lemon
When it comes to whitening clothes, many people often think of bleach first. However, bleach can easily cause skin irritation and make fabrics yellow quickly. You can combine lemon and some household ingredients like vinegar to help your clothes quickly return to their original white color.
- Step 1: Wash the clothes with soap as usual, rinse with water to remove soap, and then squeeze out all the water.
- Step 2: Pour lemon juice on the stains, then rub multiple times.
- Step 3: Soak the white clothes in a tub of warm water mixed with a bowl of vinegar for 3-4 hours.
- Step 4: Rinse again with water or wash again with soap and rinse with fabric softener for fragrant clothes.


14. Removing Lint from Clothes without a Lint Remover
One of the biggest nuisances when using winter clothing is the surface of the fabric or the appearance of lint, which affects the aesthetics and durability of the clothes. Therefore, a Lint Remover will be the most suitable equipment to quickly solve this problem, restoring the clothes and fabric to a new-like appearance. However, if you don't have a lint remover, you can use a razor, and your clothes will regain their 'style' just like new ones.
