Have fuzzy lint or animal hair on your outfit?
Grab your handy portable lint roller! Quickly roll it against your sweater or outfit to pick up all those bits of lint to pick up all those bits of lint!

Need to keep your skirt from billowing up?
Use double-sided tape to stick some pennies to your skirt. Okay, we know this may sound weird, but this little bit of added weight will help hold things down and keep you feeling confident on even the windiest of days.

Need to remove deodorant stains?
We’ve all been here…you slip into your favorite black top, being extra careful to avoid smearing your makeup or messing up your hair, only to step in front of the mirror and notice all these white streaks your deodorant left behind. Don’t fret! Grab a foam sponge and rub the marks right off. Works like a charm.

Pills on your sweater?
Gently glide your razor across your sweater to loosen any pills that have formed and then use the lint roller to pick them right up.

Jammed zipper got you down?
Use a little bit of petroleum jelly or pencil lead to lubricate the zipper and allow it to zip up and down smoothly.

Wrinkles on your favorite blouse?
Fill a spray bottle with water and lightly spray over the blouse to loosen wrinkles and allow material to straighten. You can even add a few drops of essential oil to the bottle to give it a fresh scent!
