White vinegar and baking soda do wonders when it comes to laundry. Not only in the kitchen but they also help a lot with laundry in removing stains. Instead of using hard chemicals or detergents, you can use white vinegar and baking soda solution to remove stains and that too without damaging your fabric. 

How to Use:

  1. Mix one part white vinegar with two parts baking soda to form a paste.

  2. Apply the paste directly to the stain and let it sit for 30 minutes.

  3. Wash as usual.

This method works great on sweat stains, coffee spills, and deodorant marks.

2. Freeze Your Jeans Instead of Washing

Over-washing jeans can cause them to fade and lose their shape. Instead of throwing them in the wash after every wear, freeze them overnight to kill bacteria and eliminate odors.

How to Use:

  1. Fold your jeans neatly and place them in a ziplock bag.

  2. Leave them in the freezer overnight.

  3. Let them return to room temperature before wearing.

This trick helps maintain the color and fit of your favorite denim while keeping them fresh.

3. Use Lemon Juice to Brighten Whites

Whites often lose their brightness over time, but lemon juice can naturally restore their vibrancy.

How to Use:

  1. Add half a cup of lemon juice to your washing machine.

  2. Wash as usual with your regular detergent.

  3. Hang whites in the sun to enhance the whitening effect.

The natural acidity of lemons helps break down stains and brightens fabric without the need for bleach.

4. Revive Shrunken Clothes with Hair Conditioner

If you’ve accidentally shrunk a favorite sweater or shirt, don’t panic! A simple soak in hair conditioner can help relax the fibers and bring the garment back to its original size.

How to Use:

  1. Fill a sink with lukewarm water and add two tablespoons of hair conditioner.

  2. Soak the shrunken clothing for 30 minutes.

  3. Gently stretch the fabric back to its original shape.

  4. Lay flat to dry.

This trick works best for wool and cotton fabrics.

5. Remove Sweat Odors with Vodka

Sweat odors can be stubborn, but vodka can help neutralize them.

How to Use:

  1. Mix equal parts vodka and water in a spray bottle.

  2. Lightly mist the underarm and collar areas of your clothes.

  3. Let the garment air dry before wearing.

Vodka kills odor-causing bacteria without leaving a strong smell behind.

6. Use Ice Cubes to Remove Wrinkles

No time to iron? No problem! Ice cubes and a dryer can help remove wrinkles in minutes.

How to Use:

  1. Toss a few ice cubes into the dryer with your wrinkled clothes.

  2. Run the dryer on high heat for 10 minutes.

  3. The steam from the melting ice will smooth out the wrinkles.

This is a quick fix for last-minute outfit emergencies!

7. Stop Dark Clothes from Fading with Salt

Dark clothes tend to fade after multiple washes, but adding salt to your laundry can help preserve their color.

How to Use:

  1. Add half a cup of salt to the wash cycle.

  2. Wash clothes in cold water.

  3. Hang dry to prevent further fading.

Salt helps lock in the fabric dye, keeping your dark garments vibrant for longer.

8. Use a Razor to Remove Fabric Pills

Fabric pilling can make clothes look old and worn out. A simple razor can help remove those unwanted fuzz balls and restore the fabric’s smoothness.

How to Use:

  1. Lay the garment flat on a hard surface.

  2. Gently run a clean razor over the fabric in short strokes.

  3. Use tape or a lint roller to pick up the removed pills.

This trick works wonders on sweaters, leggings, and coats.

9. Prevent Lint with a Vinegar Rinse

Lint can make even clean clothes look messy. Using vinegar in your laundry routine can reduce static cling and prevent lint buildup.

How to Use:

  1. Add half a cup of white vinegar to the rinse cycle.

  2. Dry clothes as usual.

Vinegar also acts as a natural fabric softener, keeping clothes fresh and soft.

10. Get Rid of Oil Stains with Chalk

Grease and oil stains can be tough to remove, but chalk can absorb the excess oil before washing.

How to Use:

  1. Rub white chalk onto the stain as soon as possible.

  2. Let it sit for 10 minutes.

  3. Wash as usual with warm water.

Chalk works by absorbing the oil, making it easier to wash out.
