“You can also use beeswax if you have it at home,” she added.
Second, she said put ice cubes in the dryer with your clothes or sheets so they come out wrinkle-free without having to iron them.
This creates a steamy environment that helps reduce creases without ironing. You can also use a wet face towel,” said the 32-year-old.
Chantel’s last tip was to “instantly” remove makeup stains from white clothing with shaving cream.
She applied the shaving cream to spots and rubbed it with a brush to “make it disappear like magic.”

Chantel shared the formula for a DIY spray that removes sweat stains from clothes in just ten minutes using a mixture of hydrogen peroxide and dish soap.
Chantel mixes two parts hydrogen peroxide with one part dish soap to create the spray.
She then pours the mixture into a bottle and sprays it on the stained clothing, letting it soak for ten minutes.
“The potent mixture will pull the stain right off,” she said.
Then she washes the clothes in a washing machine as usual.
While the trick is most commonly used on white clothes, Chantel said 3% hydrogen peroxide and a shorter soak time should work just fine on dark clothes.
However, she still recommends pre-patching as different materials can react differently to the DIY mixture.
