Laundry Tips

These are some hints and tips we found interesting in different forums. We summerise them for you herein, but must stress that we cannot guarantee their results, as we didn't try them all. Any remedies are undertaken at your own risk.

- When you put fabric softener in the washer you need to dilute it with some water because it could leave black marks on your clothes if you use it full strength and it will also leave a build up in the dispenser itself.

- For "smelly laundry" add 1/2 to 1 cup of white vinegar to the final rinse water. Do not use apple cider vinegar. The white vinegar freshens by killing any soap residue left in the clothes as well as softening the water. Also try haning the laundry outside, nothing smells sweeter or fresher than air dried clothes.

- To remove the little fuzzy balls on sweatshirts and sweaters, before washing brush gently with a piece of fine sandpaper. Makes things like new again. The finer the knit the finer the sandpaper. Works on furniture, fabrics and blankets too. Just go lightly!

- For cooking oil stains on clothes, spray Doom fly spray on the area, leave for 5 minutes and then soak in very hot soapy water for about 30 minutes and wash as normal. Magic, all the grease, oil has gone.
