Why it works: Baking soda is mildly abrasive and alkaline, which helps lift stains and neutralize odors.
How to use: Mix baking soda with a little water to form a paste. Apply it directly to the stain, let it sit for 15–30 minutes, then wash as usual.
Pro tip: For extra tough stains, add a few drops of lemon juice to boost stain removal power.
3. Use Ice Cubes to Remove Wrinkles Quickly
Why it works: Ice cubes create steam in the dryer, which relaxes wrinkles without ironing.
How to use: Toss 2–3 ice cubes into the dryer with your clothes and run a 10–15 minute cycle on medium heat. Remove clothes promptly for wrinkle-free results.
Pro tip: This hack is perfect for last-minute freshening up without an iron.
4. Prevent Color Bleeding with Salt
Why it works: Salt helps set colors in new clothes and prevents dye from bleeding in the wash.
How to use: Add 1/2 cup of salt to the wash water when laundering new or brightly colored garments.
Pro tip: Wash new clothes separately the first few times to avoid staining other items.
