Trick with clothes: Eliminate the balls

Has your favorite sweater pilled? Don’t worry! This garment can still have a lot of life by your side if you know how. With this awesome emergency hack, that old jumper will look like it just came from the store. You only need a razor blade.

Trick with clothes: scarves always ordered

You’ve been doing it wrong your whole life. Handkerchiefs, scarves, scarves and the like should not be stored folded in a drawer. Doesn’t it happen to you that in the end you end up wearing the ones on top much more often? With this trick, you will have them all in view, well ordered and they will wrinkle much less.

• You only need a hanger and if it is made of wood, the better because it will not leave marks on the clothes.
• Knot them on a hanger, next to each other, so they hold together well, and hang it in your closet.

Clothes trick: Secure buttons

Monday morning, you leave the house and -oh horror!-, the button on the top of your shirt has fallen off, exposing more than you would like. Emergency! This would not have happened if you had been careful and applied this trick to secure the buttons.

• Take clear nail polish and pour some on the button you want to set well.
• Let it dry well and avoid the nail polish touching the fabric of the garment because it will leave a stain. Your button will never come undone again!

Trick with clothes: non-slip hanger

No more having clothes thrown around the closet because they fell off the hanger. This trick will be especially useful with those slippery fabrics such as satin or silk or with those clothes that have a very wide neckline. This is the most useful and simple trick.

• Cut a piece of Eva foam big enough to go around one side of the hanger.
• Use glue to join the ends so that it stays well attached to the hanger. Repeat the same operation on the other side of the hanger. This little piece of rubber will act as a stop so that your garment does not slip.
