Does your favourite t-shirt have a stain on it? Don’t throw it out yet! There are tons of easy and affordable ways to eliminate stains and odours from your clothes. Discover them all here. You’ll be impressed at how easy it is to fix common clothing mishaps.
1. Rapidly eliminate bad odours
Did you eat Indian food and now your jeans smell like Tandoori chicken? Quickly eliminate odours by putting your clothes in a plastic bag in the freezer. The bacteria that cause smelly odours will die because of the cold temperature. Why not just wash your jeans? The more you wash them, the more the colour will fade so avoid washing them when you can.
2. Remove dirt from your suede shoes
Walked in a muddy path with your suede shoes on? Use a nail file to remove the dirt by scrubbing the area gently.
3. Finally get rid of a sweat stains
Mix water and freshly squeezed lemon in a bowl and then pour the mixture on your t-shirt’s sweat stains. Let it dry. If you notice the stains aren’t completely gone, you can also make a paste with baking soda and water. Leave the paste on your stain for an hour and then put your shirt in the washing machine.
4. Unblock your zipper
Is your zipper stuck? Use a crayon (make sure it is the same colour as your zipper) to colour the zipper teeth in order to make your zipper slide up and down.
5. Remove makeup stains
Do you have makeup on your white shirt? Get rid of the stains with shaving cream! A small dollop will remove those pesky stains.
6. Get rid of smelly odours in your shoes
Are your shoes smelly? Sprinkle some baking soda in your shoes to absorb sweat and smelly odours instantly.
7. Get rid of an oil stain
Did you get oil splatters on your clothes? Sprinkle some baby powder on them and let the powder absorb the oil overnight.

If you’re scared of losing a button, use clear nail polish to solidify it until you have time to sew it back on properly.
