If you are trying to get bleach stain out of tan clothing you can use a tea bag to hide the stain. I discovered this trick when I used a bit of bleach to get rid of a stain on my favorite tan jacket.

When I get a new article of clothing, I always use a pair of sharp sewing scissors to cut off all the extra threads hanging from seams and buttonholes.

| Nearly Empty Perfume Bottles
|
|
Don't throw away your perfume bottle when the last few drops of perfume won't come out. Take the cap off and put the bottle in your lingerie drawer. It will make everything smell sweet!

| Creases in Slacks
|
|
To really secure the creases in slacks, make a mixture of half water/half vinegar and saturate a pressing cloth in it. Wring it out and press slacks till dry. Your creases are permanently set.

| Making Shoes Last Longer
|
|
To make your shoes last longer, put a thin piece of rubber on the bottom of the soles. You can have a shoe repair person do this. It will help them last longer and should help you have better traction, especially in icy, cold climates!
