Everyone has their own charm, but with a well-groomed appearance this charm is even more obvious. So we present you 5 basic tips to take care of your appearance and win the (first) impressions!

The right balance

Well, gentlemen, let’s start with the fact that you want to look like you have tried for a nice look, but without too much. If your image “shouts” that you have tried too hard, the girl will feel that you are desperate or that you probably have something to hide. So take it easy: e.g. do not blow your nose with a suit, because it will look the least ridiculous. Unless of course you go somewhere where the occasion requires it, but again there are not many such circumstances suitable for a first date…

Avoid the very “elusive” options

On the other hand, let’s not overdo it with relaxation. Do not show up for any reason with t-shirts that strongly show the brand on the top, because this shows shopping or as if you are showing off what you are wearing. Also, do not come with a t-shirt with strange designs or a message on it, no matter how catchy it may seem. This is only justified to pupils / students, and this is not always the case. I also have a blouse with something avocado dancing, but I certainly would not choose it for a first date. Prefer an easy and timeless T-shirt.

Do not neglect your shoes

Many people tend to neglect or ignore this part of their outfit, but remember that we women always look at the shoes and will judge from there if someone really took care of their look or did “what the mother-in-law sees”. Avoid sneakers, unless it is a style that is worn as a more evening, and instead prefer a slightly more formal shoe without overdoing it.

Pay attention to your care

Whatever you wear, it will not show on you if you do not take care of yourself first. Not that we should point it out, but you should take care to bathe, wash your hair and if necessary use conditioner, shave or take care of your beard and have clean, trimmed nails. Appearing careless is more than enough to push every woman to make a irreversible change.

Make sure the style expresses you

Whatever you choose, make sure you wear it instead of you – in other words, wear it comfortably so you can support it. If you choose something that you did not normally wear even with a pistol in the temple, thinking that this way you look more impressive, you are making a big mistake. Your lack of familiarity with clothing will not only stand out but will also make a bad impression, because a woman may think you are “out” and not interested. Take care, with whatever you wear, to be your (best) self!

As you can see, it’s not that difficult, but it’s definitely very important. Anyone who thinks that only women take care of themselves and do their best for their appearance, is deeply nightmarish. You should always look good, out of respect for those around you but especially for yourself.

Read  the care label

To keep your clothes in good condition you should always read it care label  and follow the instructions. Each label has a number of symbols that inform you about the best way of care and the ideal washing temperature. If the garment is made of different materials, it would be good to follow the instructions for the most delicate fabric . Some fabrics need to be washed by hand or with in order not to shrink dry cleaning.

If you have washing machine with steam function ,  taking care of your clothes becomes much easier. Since you no longer need to wash your hands. In addition, you save money as most models have steam operation  include a variety of programs for delicate fabrics. For example, cashmere should normally be taken to dry cleaner  for dry cleaning .

Check the reaction of the fabric

In case a garment does not have care label and you are not sure if the fabric is in danger of shrinking, try spraying a little water on the garment before putting it on washing machine . If the fabric shrinks significantly, it means that the garment is not suitable for washing with water. However, keep in mind that many fabrics intended exclusively for dry cleaning can be washed at low temperatures in a modern washing machine..

Avoid washing in hot water

Some fabrics, such as cotton, wool and linen, shrink if washed in hot water. So avoid washing your clothes at high temperatures. If you want to remove difficult stains from your clothes and you intend to soak them, make sure you have checked the temperature again and also do not leave them in the water for a long time. Thanks to technological advances and laundry detergents, you can use washing cycles with lower temperatures and wash all delicate fabrics effectively even without pre-washing.

Avoid high temperatures in the dryer

The rules that apply to washing must also be followed for drying in a dryer. The care label of the clothes will help you to choose the appropriate drying program while in this case too the high temperature will cause damage to the clothes.

The symbols for drying are identified by dots that appear inside a circle. A dot indicates drying in the program for sensitive. Two dots indicate normal drying. Of course, there are fabrics that should not be put in the dryer at all . In this case, natural sun drying is preferred, however do not forget to check if your clothes withstand sun exposure or not.

How to restore clothes to their original form

If one of your favorite clothes shrunk during washing, there is a good chance that you will return it to its original form by following the procedure below.

Fill a basin with lukewarm water and dissolve one tablespoon of baby shampoo per 1 liter of water. Place the clothes in the basin and stretch them while soaking them. The baby shampoo has the property of relaxing the fibers of the fabric while the stretching will bring the garment to its original state. Soak them for as long as needed.

Then gently squeeze the clothes without rinsing them with water – you can wrap them in a towel by pressing them gently to absorb the water. Then spread them out to dry on a rack. Avoid hanging them on hangers, as they can deform your clothes.

It may be a good idea to try some clever recipes before deciding that clothing is beyond salvation. Especially if it is a favorite piece of your wardrobe, it is worth the effort. Keep in mind, in advance, that every recipe works best when the stain is still wet. Also, in no case do not wash in the washing machine and do not dry the stained clothes, before trying the recipes!

How does ink get out of clothes?

# 1 With milk

Can you imagine that such a simple material that can already be found in your refrigerator, can fight ink stains? And yet, milk is a very easy-to-use material that will help you save your clothes. But how does ink get out of clothes with milk? To begin with, you need to ensure that the ink does not spread to other parts of the garment, or to the surfaces of the house. For this reason, place the clothes on a surface that is not in danger of being damaged, which you will have covered with useless cloths, or a large amount of kitchen paper.

Then act according to the size of the stain. If it’s a small spot of pen, things are simple. Place a piece of cotton under the garment, where the stain is. Then dip a second piece of cotton in lukewarm milk, and rub it on the stain.

If the stain is large enough, you will need to immerse the stained piece of clothing in a container of warm milk. Leave the milk to act for several hours, or even overnight. Finally, rinse it with plenty of water and rub a little lemon on it. If the procedure fails the first time, you can repeat it. Your goal is to completely remove the stain before you wash the clothes in the washing machine.

# 2 With milk & white vinegar

This recipe is a continuation of the previous one and is even more effective. As you probably know, white vinegar is your ally in cleaning various parts of the house. This also applies to ink stains. Do you want to know how the ink comes out of the clothes with milk and vinegar?

In a deep container, place the stained part of the garment. Then cover the stain with warm milk and add 1 cup of white vinegar. Leave your mixture to act for several hours, or overnight. The next morning, you can rinse the fabric with water to see if the stain has disappeared. If it has not completely disappeared, rub it with a little lemon. If necessary, repeat the process. When the stain is completely gone, wash the clothes in the washing machine and dry them properly.

# 3 With glycerin

Glycerin is a material that you will find in pharmacies and that should help you a lot to solve your problem. Its use is very simple and fast, so you will not get tired. You can heat the glycerin a little and apply a small amount on the stain. Of course, you must have placed kitchen paper under the fabric before applying the glycerin.

Leave the glycerin to act for a few minutes and rub the clothes. Finally, rinse with water and a little white vinegar, or ammonia and wash in the washing machine. If the solution fails, you can repeat, or try lacquer cleaning, as suggested below.

# 4 With hairspray

How does ink get out of clothes with hairspray? On a damp cloth, spray enough varnish and rub the stain with a sponge. Repeat several times, until the stain dissolves. Be careful, however, why the clothes should not dry, if the stain does not subside. If it dries, it is very likely that the stain will stubbornly remain on the fabric. In other words, it will never come off the fabric.

Well, after rubbing the fabric that has received the hairspray, you can soak it in a very simple mixture. Mix in a bowl of lukewarm water with a little liquid dishwashing liquid and a few drops of white vinegar. Inside the container, place the stained part of the garment. Leave your mixture to act for about half an hour and wash the clothes in the washing machine.

# 5 With pure alcohol

This solution is mainly suitable for cotton and satin fabrics. You can rub the stain well with a piece of cotton soaked in alcohol. You will need to repeat a few times, with new pieces of cotton, until the stain disappears.

Then you can rinse the fabric with water and lemon, to clean it completely. Wash regularly in the washing machine and if the stain does not disappear, repeat the process. If the garment is white, you can soak it in a basin of lukewarm water and bleach, leaving it for about an hour. However, do not try bleach on colored clothes, as there is a risk that their color will fade.
