De-wrinkle your clothes with ice

This clothing hack is for all the people who hate ironing their clothes, but also do not want to leave their home with wrinkled clothes.

Simply grab a few ice cubes and place them directly on your clothes. Grab your hairdryer and face it onto the ice cubes for about 15 minutes.

While the ice cubes melt, steam is released which will help straighten your clothes and get rid of the wrinkle line.

Remove lint with an old razor

If you do not have a lint roller, or your lint roller stops to work effectively, then grab an old razor from your bathroom and use it to remove the lint from your clothes.

If you do not have a razor, then try making your own lint roller with a paint roll and some double sided sticky tape.

Make a garment bag from a pillowcase

If you are travelling, or just want to keep your nicer, most expensive clothing items safe but do not have a garment bag, then simply use your old pillow cases as DIY garment bags.

Just pop a hole at the top end of the pillow case to allow for your hanger to fit through, and then place your clothes on the hanger before covering them and protecting them with the pillow case.

Repair bleach stains with a permanent marker

This clothing hack usually works with darker clothes. If you may have made a laundry mistake and have somehow bleached your favourite black trousers or t-shirts, do not panic.

Just use your permanent marker to colour over the bleach stain spots.
