There’s more to caring for your clothes than just putting them in the washer and dryer. Here are just a few tips on how you can care for your clothes that you may have not known.

When you buy a new item of clothing with buttons, dab the center of each button with clear nail polish to seal the threads.
Occasionally rub zipper teeth with wax to keep the zipper working smoothly. A small candle works well.
Whenever you want to de-wrinkle clothes in a hurry, run hot water in the bathtub and hang your clothes on the shower rod. The steam from the hot bath water will remove the wrinkles.
Do not iron clothes that are stained or soiled. The heat will set the stains.
Discuss any stains you have with your dry cleaner so they can be flushed out to prevent a spot.

Most people will rotate through their winter clothing and their summer clothing to make more space in their dressers and closets. When they do, they need to make sure they are packing their clothes away the right way to prevent moths from creating holes in your clothing and ruining your favorite sweater or mildew from forming.

You may have never known that new garbage cans make good storage containers for clothes. As long as they are airtight you shouldn’t need to add any mothballs. Keep in mind that fumes from mothproofing products filter downward. So when you get mothballs or anything you use to keep moths away, you should put them high in the closet.

If you want to prevent mildew from forming in humid climates, corrugated boxes can be used to store your clothes. You will need to coat the boxes with shellac to keep the moisture out. Now if you want to prevent mildew from forming in your leather purse, you will want to fill the purse with crumpled newspaper and leave it unfastened.

Here are some tips when caring for your shoes:

You can remove scuff marks on shoes with baking-soda paste.
When you want to keep shoes shiny after you’ve polished them, you can spray them with hair spray.
