Rub off deodorant marks with a sock
A clean, dry sock wipes white streaks off dark clothes in seconds.
Steam out wrinkles with ice cubes in the dryer
Toss a few ice cubes in with a lightly wrinkled shirt for a quick steam.
Stop static cling with balls of aluminum foil
Two or three foil balls in the dryer cut down static cling, and you can reuse them for many loads.
Lift grease stains with dish soap
The soap made for greasy pans works on greasy shirts too.
Keep dark jeans from fading: wash inside out in cold water
Turn dark clothes inside out and use cold water to keep their color longer.
Stop losing socks with a mesh laundry bag
Zip socks into a mesh bag and every pair comes out of the dryer together.
Dry sweaters flat so they keep their shape
Lay wool and knit sweaters on a towel to dry instead of hanging them.
Get blood out of fabric with cold water
Rinse blood stains in cold water right away. Hot water sets them.
Stop washing machine smells: leave the door open
Prop the door or lid open after each wash so the inside can dry.
