Shine (for black fabric): iron it with a cloth soaked in household vinegar.
Mouthfuls: shave them off with a razor. Or catch them with scotch.
Yellowing: boil your grey T-shirt in a mixture of water, Marseille soap flakes and lemon juice.
Five techniques for ironing without an iron
Steaming. Place your clothes on a hanger, spray them with warm water and let them dry. You’ll see the wrinkles disappear.
Shower. Take advantage of the hot water steam to hang your outfit of the day on a hanger and straighten it as if by magic.
A damp towel. A wrinkled garment can be smoothed by “ironing” it with a damp sponge, placed flat on the garment.
Over a saucepan. OK, the trick requires slightly high ceilings, but you can place your shirt over a pot of boiling water to enjoy the smoothing effects of the hot steam.
In the hairdryer . Spray with water and dry. Be careful not to touch the nozzle so as not to burn the fabric and use gentle heat.
Grandma’s trick: Washing with netting
My grandmother, who was very chic, collected cashmere jackets.
She gave me some, with very good advice: before putting the cardigan in the washing machine, wrap the buttons tightly in aluminium foil. Wash the cardigans very often because the more you wash them, the softer and more beautiful they get. Wash them only in cold or lukewarm water, or at 30°C. And above all, above all, put them in a net, like a lingerie net.
Did you know ?
The natural or synthetic fibres of a garment do not shrink during washing, but during drying, when the water evaporates from them.
