An itchy sweater, stains on your new shoes, a broken zip — you’re never going to encounter any of these irritating little problems again. Because as it turns out, there are plenty of simple little tricks you can use to avoid them. And we’re going to share them all just with you.

Spray a small amount of vodka on your clothes to eliminate strong odours. If you don’t have time to wash a shirt before wearing it again but it has a strong, lingering smell, just spray on some vodka and let it dry. The ******* will kill odor-causing bacteria.
3. Getting rid of foundation cream

Fix foundation stains with a little bit of shaving cream. If you take off your shirt and accidentally smudge your makeup on the collar, just wipe a dollop of shaving cream on the spot to pretreat it before tossing it in the wash.
