Therefore, the awesome.club brings, in this post, a series of suggestions to help you clean your clothes in a practical, economical way and without destroying anything. Follow along.

Yes, that’s what you read. This practical kitchen tool is also perfect for washing delicate clothes that need to be washed by hand. Simply place your bras and other items in the sieve and run them under the tap before adding a little soap and spinning. Let it act for 10 minutes, before rinsing it under the faucet to remove the soap.

It is advisable to protect bras when washing them by securing their clasps. This will prevent the hooks from bending and the elastic from stretching, as well as the garment from tangling with other clothes. To avoid any tearing and other problems, also make sure to close all the zippers and buttons on your jeans, so you don’t damage them and your hooks don’t get tangled up with the rest of your clothes.

The tip here is the opposite of bras and pants. It is best to leave the shirt unbuttoned, as washing can damage it. If you keep the garment buttoned up, you may start to notice that the buttonholes get damaged and that the buttons come off more easily.

If you don’t have a protective bag to wash your bras and other delicates, try using a pillowcase. This will protect the garments from other garments that may damage them, as well as help keep their shape intact. Before washing, simply tie a knot or tie a hair band across the top of the pillowcase so the items don’t “slip”. In addition, there are special washing bags, which can also be used.

Our clothes can sometimes smell bad because of the mold and mildew that appear in places with humidity. Try adding ten drops of tea tree oil to your laundry detergent during your next wash to remove any musty smells. This is effective because tea tree oil is antibacterial, which means it kills any mold.

If ironing isn’t your thing, then this is a great option: just add a few ice cubes to your wrinkled clothes in the dryer and let it run for five minutes.

This trick will help you save time and energy when it comes to drying your clothes. Before you start drying, toss in a dry towel with the wet items and run the machine on a 15-minute cycle. The towel will absorb moisture from your clothes, cutting drying time in half. Of course, at the end of the process, you will have a wet towel. But believe me: the pros outweigh the cons in this case.

We’ve all made the mistake of shrinking something in the washing process. And if this just happened to you, don’t worry: it can be fixed! Simply dip the product into a basin of warm water and a tablespoon of regular hair conditioner and let it sit for 30 minutes. Afterwards, empty the basin and stretch the piece (without exaggerating). Rinse with clean water and let dry.

This product is an eco-friendly and chemical-free option to make drying clothes easier. By placing the wool balls in the dryer with wet clothes, they will cut the drying time in half, also preventing damage to the garments. In addition, they will fluff up your clothes and towels and also remove static.

A tablespoon of salt added to the wash will help protect the colors in your clothes. This works because the sodium chloride in the salt helps the dyes to stick to fabrics. This is an easy and inexpensive way to keep your clothes looking new.

Lastly, we’ll teach you an effective and very hassle-free way to clean caps! Just fill a container tupperware with warm water and a little detergent, until the cap is almost submerged. Then put on the cap and shake the container for a few minutes. The last step is to rinse in clean water and let it dry. If you prefer a more thorough cleaning, soak the cap in warm, soapy water overnight before repeating the above steps.
