Looking for easy and inexpensive ways to keep your show
apparel looking like new? Here are some awesome tips to kick off your Spring
with a fresh new start!
- Are your crystals looking a little dull? Before you throw away that tissue paper from your Lisa Nelle package, use it with window cleaner to make your crystals sparkle again!
- De-pill your clothes with a shaving razor then remove the lint with some tape.
- Before you turn stale bread into croutons or bread pudding, you can use the stale bread crust to remove dirt from suede. Just don’t reuse the bread after cleaning!
- If you don't have shoe polish on hand, grab a towel and rub your leather boots with a bit of lotion to bring them back to life.
- Fix a stuck zipper with a cotton swab and petroleum jelly. Your zipper will glide smoothly.
- Use a mixture of vinegar and cold water to scrub water stains off of leather.
- To keep your tall boots staying upright, use wine bottles or pool noodles to store them.
- Did you know that a piece of plain white chalk can absorb grease and oil stains from fabrics? Just rub the chalk over your greasy stains and then wash as usual.
- Remove deodorant stains from your tops with dryer sheets.
- Getting ready for your next big show? When you pack a suitcase, wrap your shoes in a shower cap to protect your clothes from dirt.
- If you have new shoes but they're a little tight, stretch out them out by placing a bag of water in each shoe and leave them in the freezer overnight.
- To remove makeup, like foundation, from shirt collars use shaving cream.
- To remove a lipstick stain, spritz the fabric (make sure it's not dry-clean only) with hairspray, and let it sit for a few minutes. Dab the stain, and then toss it in the washer.
We hope these tips help keep your show apparel sparkly, bright, and new!
