 When your iron (not a Teflon-coated) accumulates shreds on its ironing surface, wipe it with a dry wire sponge and then with a clean flannel. Before applying softener, dissolve it in water; never attempt to apply it directly on your clothes.- The same applies to washing machines not fitted with a softener dispenser. Your bikinis and bathing suits will last much more if you use a few drops of softener in the last rinsing. Do not twist them; just let them dry in shadow.
- To bleach white clothes made of chlorine-resistant fabrics like t-shirts, napkins and bath towels, wash them normally and then let them soak in a water and chlorine solution for one or two hours and rinse them well.
