Coin-op Laundry Raleigh NC: Quick Fixes for Your Laundry Mishaps!
Have you ever had a laundry mishap and not known what to do? Our Coin-op laundry in Raleigh NC sure has! That’s why we’ve come up with a few quick fixes that should help you out in a pinch!
Quick Fix – Smelly Laundry
Add a quarter to a half cup of vinegar to your laundry rinse. The vinegar acts as a softener and it can help get rid of moldy, sour type smells. It is also good to put the vinegar treated wash through an extra rinse cycle. You can also soak super smelly clothing in a solution of baking soda and water. This baking soda “soak” is good for clothing items that have a horrible smoke smell. Once treated in the baking soda soak, you can put the item through a regular wash cycle. The vinegar treatment or the baking soda treatment can also help freshen up your washing machine tub.
Quick Fix – Buttons, Hems, and More
Buttons- Keep a stash of safety pins to use for button emergencies! When your button pops off you can take a safety pin on the back side of the button and attach it from the inside of the lapel. This doesn’t always work with every button, though. Success depends on the type of button you have.
Rips, loose hems and seams – If you look in the women’s lingerie department at most discount stores you’ll find double stick tape or fashion tape. The double stick fashion tape is great for when your hem is coming apart or you’ve just discovered a rip in your skirt, as you’re walking out the door. It’s a good idea to carry the special tape with you at all times. It works for these and many other clothing emergencies!

If you have a button emergency, use the double stick tape for an emergency fix! According to laundrymom.com, “Carefully button your garment, and place the double stick tape where the button was. Then, place the button hole right over where the button should be. Squish the button hole together while you place it on top of the tape. The button hole should be carefully placed over the tape and you won’t even notice there is a button missing.”
