1. Defeat Sweat Stains

Rub a bit of lemon juice against any sweat stains to remove it from your clothing. Your pits will be stain-free, and smell lemony fresh, according to the Huffington Post .

2. Clean Dirty Suede

If you notice dirt collecting on your suede pieces, then buff it away by using a nail file. According to Cosmopolitan , the nail file will scrub away the dirt without damaging the fabric.

3. Fix Scratched Leather

Fix your dull-looking, scratched leather by buffing face moisturizer into the fabric. According to Elle, the moisturizer replenishes the dry leather.

4. Banish Deodorant Marks

Don't let pesky deodorant marks get you down. Use a clean part of the shirt that you're already wearing to buff out the mark.

5. Skip The Dressing Room

Don’t have time to try on bottoms? See if they fit by wrapping the waistband of the pants around your neck. If the band doesn’t touch or can cross over itself, then the pants won’t fit. If the band just touches, then it’s a perfect match. YouTube vlogger, Evelina, said she swears by the trick.

6. Make Your Collar Pop

Forget using an iron. Glamrs.com editor, Pooja Vakil recommended straightening your shirt collar by using a hair straightener.

7. Squeaky Clean Shoes

If your white shoes are looking a bit dull, brighten them up using baking soda and water. POPSUGAR Fashion recommended applying the liquid with a toothbrush in order to clean the stain thoroughly.

8. Keep It Organized

Vakil also recommended keeping your necklaces from getting tangled by putting them through straws. It may seem odd, but it's amazing for getting out of the door on hectic mornings.

9. A Sticky Situation

Underwire poking through your bra? Seal it back in place by using a pantyliner. BuzzFeed suggested cutting the panty liner in half and then adhering it your bra.

10. Not Just For Fries

Use ketchup to brighten your jewelry. Place your items into a small bowl of ketchup, and let it sit for five minutes. Wash off with warm water, and see for yourself just how shiny your jewelry can be.
