Clothing gives as much of an impression as body language does. It pretty much shows your personality and tastes just with the type of layers you decided to put on. 

Your clothes could even have sentimental value in them. So I know it would be devastating to see it damaged or stained. 

Worry not. Here are clothing hacks you can do to have those clothes looking fresh and wearable for little to no expense! 

Unwanted odor? Try putting your jeans in the freezer 

Put your jeans in a zip lock and place it in your freezer overnight. The cold will kill the odor-causing bacteria without sacrificing the color of your denim. 

Vinegar works like magic

Surprise, surprise. Here’s a powerful clothing hack for you. Vinegar is an all-in-one tool that helps in removing lint, softening water, and even boosting laundry detergents. Adding ½ cup of white vinegar on your last rinse can do the trick.

A mixture of half vinegar and half water could also help in removing common stains. Spray it on the stained areas before washing to give an extra boost.
