Wait! Before you turn that Kami into a dish rag, we have some tips to remove stains from your clothing. From stains to broken furniture, you can battle even the most notable stains and finally fix that pesky broken desk drawer with a little bit of know-how. We will show you how save a few items and money with some hacks you need to know.<\/p>\n
Make a paste with washing powder and a little water and apply to the stain. Let it sit for 10 to 15 minutes before washing as normal.<\/p>\n Cover the stain in salt \u2013 you will know it has absorbed the red wine when it turns pink. Brush away the salt after 10 minutes, then carefully pour boiling water onto the stain and allow it to sit until the stain lifts.<\/p>\n Blot (do not rub) with a paper towel, then dab with distilled white vinegar before washing as normal.<\/p>\n Vinegar cleaning hacks to transform your house<\/strong><\/p>\n Cover the stain in a mixture of washing-up liquid and water. Rub the mixture in before rinsing and washing as normal.<\/p>\n Mix four tablespoons of salt into a liter of cold water, then soak the garment in the mixture for 30 minutes. Rinse, then leave to dry.<\/p>\n Soak in cold water immediately, then gently rub regular hand soap to the stain before rinsing in cold water.<\/p>\n Rub the stain using a pair of nude tights \u2013 the texture of the fabric helps to lift the white marks.<\/p>\n Spray hairspray onto the stain and leave for 15 minutes. Blot the stain with a clean cloth soaked in warm water, then wash as normal.<\/p>\n Blot the stain to remove excess liquid with a cloth. Cover the stain with hairspray, then wash immediately in the washing machine as normal.<\/p>\n Rub a bit of washing-up liquid into the stain then wash in hot water.<\/p>\n Use a piece of sticky tape to lift off the pollen. If a mark remains, hang outside in the sunlight to bleach the stain out.<\/p>\n Freeze the piece of clothing to harden the wax, then scrape it away with a spoon. Cover the stain with a piece of tissue and iron over it to melt the remaining wax on to the tissue.<\/p>\n Let the mud dry then brush it off. Soak the piece of clothing in cool water with half a teaspoon of washing-up liquid and a tablespoon of distilled white vinegar.<\/p>\n Run the back of the stain under cold water to flush out as much of the chocolate as possible, then rub washing up liquid into the stain. Soak in cold water for 15 minutes then wash as normal.<\/p>\n Dab the stain with a clean cloth to remove excess. Cover with washing-up liquid and then distilled white vinegar. Soak in cold water, then dry naturally in sunshine.<\/p>\n Replace worn-out drawer slides: <\/strong>If you find that slides are bent, rollers are broken or rollers will not turn even after lubricating, replacement is the best solution. To keep the project simple, buy new slides that are identical (or almost identical) to the old ones. That way, replacement is an easy matter of unscrewing the old and screwing on the new. Remove a drawer track and a cabinet track and take them shopping with you. You will find slides at home centers for $5 to $15 per drawer.<\/p>\n Add bumpers to banging doors: <\/strong>Peel-and-stick door and drawer bumpers are the solution. Get a pack of 20 at a home center for $2. Make sure the back of the door is clean so the bumpers will stick, then place one at the top corner and another at the bottom.<\/p>\n Repair a broken drawer box: <\/strong>Do not put up with a broken corner joint on a drawer. Fix it before the whole drawer comes apart. Remove the drawer and then remove the drawer front from the drawer box if possible. Most fronts are fastened by a couple of screws inside the box. Remove nails, staples or screws from the loose joint and scrape away old glue with a utility knife.<\/p>\n Two ways to fill stripped screw holes: <\/strong>If a screw turns but does not tighten, the screw hole is stripped. Here is a quick remedy: Remove the screw and hardware. Dip toothpicks in glue, jam as many as you can into the hole and break them off. Either flat or round toothpicks will work. Immediately wipe away glue drips with a damp cloth. You do not have to wait for the glue to dry or drill new screw holes; just go ahead and reinstall the hardware by driving screws right into the toothpicks.<\/p>\n Touch up nicks and scratches: <\/strong>If you have shallow scratches or nicks, hide them with a stain-filled touch-up marker. Dab on the stain and wipe off the excess with a rag. But beware: Scratches can absorb lots of stain and turn darker than the surrounding finish. So start with a marker that is lighter than your cabinet finish and then switch to a darker shade if needed. For deeper scratches, use a filler pencil, which fills and colors the scratch.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Wait!
