    Removing lint and wrinkles

    Removing lint can be done a few ways the fastest and easiest is a rolled up piece of tape, use duct or packing tape to have more sticky surface area, or use a slightly dampened sponge, or clothes or lint brush works too…

    Removing unwanted wrinkles when you don’t have easy access to an iron, hang clothes in the washroom when having a shower, keep the doors and windows closed and leave the fan off.  You can also place the clothes in the dryer with a damp towel for 10 minutes to remove wrinkles as well.

    Laundry Tip

    Overuse of fabric softeners can cause clothes to look dingy or feel greasy. Skip softener every few washings.

    Mildew on clothes

    Prevent mildew on clothes by storing them correctly.  Always be sure they are 100% dry before storing.  Avoid storing in plastic bags or boxes, which can trap moisture.  Ventilate storage areas when the weather is good or the opportunity presents.  Pack storage areas loosely allowing air to circulate.  Don’t use starch or fabric softener on items to be stored.  Use a chemical desiccant (absorbs humidity) like packaged silica gel to absorb humidity.
