You don’t need soap, water or any special cleaners. Just use a clean cloth to rub against the marks and you’ll see them start to disappear. It’s just like cleaning pencil marks with an eraser.
Clean Armpit Stains
You can actually get rid of those armpit stains that you’ve taken as normal. Simply grab a lemon and squeeze it onto the stain. Lemon has natural properties that can break down stains.

In the absence of lemon, you can use your baking soda and water mixture. When you’ve applied any of both, give it time to soak and then wash. When you’re done, you’ll see the stains have disappeared.
Get Rid of Makeup Stains
These stains are another difficult bunch, but there’s a way to get them out easily. Apply shaving cream on the stained part and leave it on for a while. After that, wash it normally and the stains will disappear like it was never there.

Shaving cream also has dirt-removing properties and can be used for tough stains.
Stretching Tight Shoes
Tight shoes are inconvenient and most of the time, those are our favorite. So, to stretch the shoes you love, find the thickest pair of socks you own, wear them, and wear the shoes.

Set your hairdryer to a warm temperature and blow dry the part of the shoes that feel the tightest. This will help the material stretch. Keep them on your feet till they cool down so they stay stretched.
Fix Small Holes
When you notice a small hole or tear in your clothes, you need to fix them immediately so that it doesn’t get bigger. But before you fix them, you can use this hack to prevent them from getting bigger.

Get hairspray that keeps hair in place and spray on the hole. When it gets dried, it will create an invisible shield that prevents it from growing.
DIY De-Wrinkle Spray
When ironing or even the thought of it becomes stressful, you can make your spray that gets rid of wrinkles at home beforehand. Find a clean empty spray bottle and pour some hair conditioner inside.

Add some vinegar and water to it, shake it up, and your spray is ready. Whenever you don’t feel like ironing, use your spray and smooth out the fabric with your hands.
Keep Dark Jeans Dark
Don’t allow your dark jeans to fade for any reason. Protect that dark fine color. Whenever you want to wash, always add up to a cup of vinegar to your soap and water.

The vinegar locks in the color, so it doesn’t wash out easily. This means your jeans will stay darker for longer. Using vinegar is also a budget-friendly option.
Quick Hem Fixes
If you’ve ever had pants or a skirt that was too long and you kept stepping on them, you’ll know how annoying it is. It’s also dangerous because the extra long length can make you trip and fall.

To fix this, find a double-sided tape and fold your pants up to your desired length. Insert the tape between the fold and the inner body of the pants. Then, press it down so it sticks to and holds your cloth.
Keep Buttons in Place
Sometimes, buttons play ‘the fastest to fall off’ game when you’re out and they really enjoy it. Because why do they fall off when you’re in an important place and not in the house?

Well, you can stop them from always pulling a surprise on you with this nail polish trick. Rub nail polish on the threads that hold your buttons in place. When it dries, it will make the threads strong and unable to cut.
No More Static Cling
These clothes that stick to your body like they’re scared to let you go only leave you feeling inconvenienced. So, how do you deal with this? First of all, you need to know what causes it and it’s when it’s charged up with electricity.

So, to stop this, get a metal hanger and rub it over the part of the cloth that’s sticking to you. This removes the electric charge from your clothes and back into the air.
Organize Your Closet
Ever been in a hurry to dress up and you can’t find the one thing you’re looking for? Yes, that happens because your closet is disorganized.

Put things in place by keeping the same set of things together. For example, put shirts in one place, scarves in another, pants in the next, etc. This way, you’ll know exactly where to look when searching for something in particular and save yourself time and stress.
