Laundry soapsuds overflow

If your washing machine is overflowing with suds, due to the use of too much soap, pour a capful of fabric softener into the washer. The acidic pH level of the softener neutralizes the alkaline detergent, dissolving suds on contact.

Speed dusting time

Next time you dust, use a cloth dampened with a dab of fabric softener. The lubricant makes the debris adhere to the cloth, picking up all particles on surfaces. The product will also leave behind an invisible layer that will prevent dust and grime from sticking to furniture.

Cleaning curling iron

To clean the sticky grime, dilute 1 tbsp of liquid fabric softener in 1/4 cup of warm water. Allow the iron to cool, use a cotton swab to apply the solution to the barrel, then wipe it off.

Reusing vacuum bags

Do not throw away a vacuum bag just because it is full. Most of them can be reused 3 or 4 times. Just clip off the top of the full bag, dump out the debris, fold the top edge over once and staple it closed.

Easy airport pick-up

When you are flying only with carry-on bags, ask the people picking you up at the airport to wait in the car by the departure area. This will make you avoid arrival section stress, baggage-claims chaos, and exit the airport much easier and faster.

Dull and lifeless hair

When your hair looks dull and lifeless and you do not have enough time to go for the right treatment, try this quick fix. Shampoo hair as usual, then before rinsing, apply some baking soda through sudsy strands (about 1 tbsp for a long hair). The product will act as tiny scrubbers, breaking down the sticky residue that many hair products leave behind, even after washing.
