Miscellaneous Tips

Submitted by: Lourdes Torres



Soften New Denim

To make a brand new pair of jeans feel soft instead of stiff, soak them overnight in a bathtub filled with cold water and lots of fabric softener (this can also be done on the soak cycle in a washing machine). In the morning, machine wash as usual.

Pre-Washed Hands

If you are planning to do a messy craft project, washing paint and glue off your hands with ease can be done by rubbing a sheet of fabric softener on them before you begin.

Long-Lasting Soap

Unwrap your bath soap and store in your linen closet. Not only will it scent your linens, but when exposed to air, it will also harden and last longer in the bath.

Beautiful Nails

To keep nail polish from chipping, wipe down each nail with white vinegar before applying polish. This will remove any traces of hand cream or oil and help the polish adhere better.
