Q&A for How to Take Care of Your Clothes

There are drawer dividers that you can get that would separate your drawer into sections. Then you can put your underwear into the different sections, and maybe categorize them or organize them by color. There are also dividers you can get that expand. You pull a center partition out and it opens up that square area for larger items, like socks.

A lot of shelving sections don't have enough space in them height-wise, so if you have to stack five to eight shirts on top of each other, it's always a problem pulling the bottom one out because it tends to take the other ones with them. The best thing to do would be to get more adjustable shelves or some smaller cubbies that would fit the shirts and then you can stack up to 3-4 per shelf or cubbie at the most.

You can get a tie rack to drape your ties on. Another option is to dedicate a small drawer with dividers in it to your ties. You can roll your ties up and put them in the dividers.

Repairing your clothes is a cost-effective alternative to replacing them, which many people cannot afford to do.

You could just fold your clothes into rolls like a roll-up sandwich. Maybe you could even put the clothes in an organizer labeled with the types of clothing they are.

Use an ice cube to freeze the gum and a butter knife to scrape it off.

It might, but check the labels of your products first, many will warn you not to mix with other products. The combination of certain chemicals can produce dangerous reactions.

It is possible that the dye used to color darker clothes will bleed onto lighter clothes. Also, using bleach to whiten whites will damage clothes with colors.

If you maintain your clothes properly, they will last longer, and you will not have to buy new clothes as frequently.
