Removing Smells from Plastic ContainersHere's something I just learned, if you have plastic that has like an onion smell or something, wad up newspaper and put it into the container. Then close it up for a day and the smell will be gone. Also newspaper is the best way to clean windows and mirrors, streak free.
Spray Vinegar on Underarm of Shirts Before CleaningMY husband's shirts used to come back from the cleaners with a foul underarm odor, then I read a tip somewhere about spraying underarms of shirts with vinegar water before washing.
Mark Stains for Dry CleanerFor clothes that are to be dry cleaned, pin a note to stains to alert the cleaner. It will help if you can specify the source of the stain.

If you have a stain normally Dawn dish detergent will take it out and then use the Dryel in the dryer as it suggests on the package.It is cheaper than taking clothes to the dry cleaner and your clothes come out smelling fresh and clean.We have also used it on wedding attire. Saves you a load of money that you probably can use somewhere else in your budget.
