Keeping tennis shoes white

Spray heavily with starch when tennis shoes are new to maintain whiteness.
---Whitest socks
Boil socks in water to which a lemon slice has been added.
---Lint remover
Add a yard of nylon netting to your dryer with the wet clothes--it will catch most of the lint.
---Feather pillows
Put feather pillows in the dryer and tumble. Then air outside to completely freshen.
---Final rinse
Add a cup of white vinegar to the final rinse when washing clothes to make sure the alkaline in the soap are dissolved.
----Bedroom ironing
A good place to iron is in the bedroom. Closets are nearby to hang clothes up immediately, and the bed makes a good surface on which to fold clothes and separate into piles.
---Clean work cloths
To your wash water, add 1/2 cup of household ammonia when washing your work cloths.
--Dry mittens
  Wet mittens can be dried quickly by pulling them over the bottom of a small jar and setting the open end of the jar atop a radiator.
--Accidentally washed woolens
  Soak washed woolens in lukewarm water and add some good hair shampoo, which may soften wool fibers enough to allow reshaping of the sweater.
--- Creaseless garments
  Take an empty cardboard paper towel roll and cut through it lengthwise. Slip it over a wire hanger to prevent a crease from forming in the garment to be hung on the hanger.
---Ironing tip
  When pressing pants, iron the top part on the wrong side. Iron the legs on the right side. This gives the pockets and waistband a smooth look.
---Sit on it
  Rather than iron blue jeans, pillowcases, sheets, towels, etc., just fold neatly and sit on them while ironing other things.
