I was watching a great PBS special called Haley’s hints and jotted down a few of the hints that could really come in handy when you are in the office. Most of the hints relate to stain removal. If you have a can a hair spray and a bar of soap you will be amazed at what you can do in terms of stain removal at the office. Some of these solutions require you rinse in cold water so you might consider keeping an extra white blouse or shirt at the office.

Remove Static Cling -Spray the area lightly with hair spray or take a metal coat hanger and rub it on static area.

Ink stains - Spray the stained area rather heavily with hairspray and then take a bar of soap and rub it over the stain. Rinse in cold water (hot water will set the stain) and stain is gone.

Make-up stains - same procedure as ink stain only make sure to rub hard with soap.

Deodorant stain - You know the awful white streaks your deodorant can leave on your clothes? Take a pair of pantyhose and bunch them up like a scrubbie and scrub the deodorant stain with it. The stain will come right off.

Grass stains - Put plain household ammonia in a spray bottle. Spray on grass stains and use a denture toothbrush to scrub stain. Rinse in cold water. Can also be used to clean muddy sneakers.

Pet hair removal - If the item you are wearing has some texture in it, you can take a rubber glove (you can keep disposable ones in your desk) and rub it over the pet hair. The pet hair will begin to stick together and you can roll it off your clothing. At home you use a rubber glove to “pet” your couch and the pet hair rolls right off.
