Static Cling
Rub a sheet of fabric softener on the underside of your skirt, or on your legs to prevent your skirt from clinging. This also works on pants.

Secure Buttons
Dab clear nail polish on the threads of buttons. This will strengthen them and help to keep the button secured to the clothing. Don’t use super glue, because that can sometimes dissolve the thread – and that would be just the opposite of what you want to happen!

Reduce Static Cling
Pin a small safety pin to the seam of your slip and you will not have a clingy skirt or dress. Same thing works with slacks that cling when wearing panty hose. Place pin in seam of slacks and — ta da! — static is gone.

Deoderant Stains
To get out underarm deodorant stains, wet deodorant stains with fresh lemon juice, then sprinkle with salt and rub. If it’s a sunny day, hang your clothing out in the bright sunshine to dry. Then wash as usual.

Sticky Closet Rod
This little trick might help if you have a sticky closet rod: Grab a sheet of waxed paper, and rub it over the top of the rod. Your hangers should glide more easily. There’s no mess, and you can do it section by section without even removing all the clothes from the closet!
