14. Make patent leather shoes shiny again with a little bit of glass cleaner.
15. Fix underwire that’s poking out of your bra with a patch of adhesive moleskin.
16. Remove red wine stains with white wine. Soak the spot in white wine for a few minutes to pretreat the stain before washing.
17. Use Dawn Dishwashing Liquid to lift oil stains from delicate clothing. The dish soap will remove oil or grease and is also gentle enough to use on clothes.
18. Tug a pulled thread back into place by pulling the fabric around it. Alternate tugging the fabric on the sides of the thread, and the fabric above and below the thread.
19. Fix a stuck zipper with a cotton swab and petroleum jelly.
