Five best laundry tips:

  1. Removing barbecue sauce stain: Spray a solution of 50/50 vinegar and water. Scrub with a horsehair brush and soap. Then launder as usual.
  2. Removing ink stain: For ballpoint pen, spray with rubbing alcohol. For gel or Sharpie, dab with Amodex, a nontoxic stain remover.
  3. Removing red wine, berries or watermelon stain: Add 1 tablespoon oxygen bleach (100% sodium percarbonate) to a bowl of warm water. Dip the portion of the garment that’s stained into the bowl. Launder as usual.
  4. Removing odor from backpacks and sneakers: Pour vodka into a spray bottle and spritz lightly on any stinky articles.
  5. Removing static in the dryer: Roll up a one yard of aluminum foil into a tightly rolled ball and throw it into your dryer. It should last 60 loads, getting increasingly smaller with each. Once it’s the size of a golf ball, toss in your recycling and start over with a new ball of foil.
