Fabric softener is supposed to make your laundry soft and fragrant, but sometimes it does the opposite. If you're not left with a fresh scent after washing, but rather a slight sense of frustration, it's time to check if you're making one of the most common laundry mistakes.

5 laundry tricks that can reduce your electricity bill by up to 30% % https://citymagazine.si/en/5-laundry-tricks-that-can-reduce-your-electricity-bill-by-up-to-30/ Fri, 10 Oct 2025 11:03:13 +0000 https://citymagazine.si/en/?p=657956

Do you also feel like your electric meter is running a marathon lately, while you're just trying to wash three T-shirts and a pair of socks? It's true - with the arrival of the colder months, energy consumption increases as households heat their rooms, use dryers and cook more intensively. All this leaves traces on bills that sometimes resemble the cost of a weekend getaway more than your monthly electricity consumption.

Have you ever noticed that even after washing your curtains, they remain a bit grey, with dust hidden between the fibres that even the best washing powder cannot remove? This is a problem that almost every housewife is familiar with – curtains lose their freshness over time, become heavy and no longer give the feeling of cleanliness that we expect in a room.

Kako učinkovito rešiti “namuckane” puloverje: Preverjene domače metode za nego volnenih in pletenih oblačil https://citymagazine.si/en/how-to-effectively-solve-wrinkled-sweaters-proven-home-methods-for-caring-for-wool-and-knitted-clothes/ Sun, 05 Oct 2025 05:06:47 +0000 https://citymagazine.si/en/?p=657412

Pimpled sweaters aren't just an aesthetic problem—they're also uncomfortable to the touch, shorten the life of your garment, and cause frustration every time you pull an otherwise perfectly good piece out of your closet. Pimples, or textile balls caused by rubbing fibers, are especially common on wool, acrylic, fleece, and other knits. First you notice one, then a whole family—and before you know it, your favorite sweater looks like it's been through three seasons of Game of Thrones.

Clothes are more than just a necessity – they are often a reflection of our taste, style and even our mood. So it’s no surprise that unexpected stains, stiff fabric textures or unusual wash marks can put us in a bad mood. But despite all the advanced technology in modern washing machines and increasingly sophisticated detergents, problems with “cleanliness left behind” are becoming more and more common. The problem? It’s not your incompetence, but a simple physical-mechanical fact: the washing machine has its limits – and when we exceed them, the clothes feel it in their own fibers.

Let's be honest - no one thinks too much about their socks. They're there because they have to be. We put them on in the morning, take them off at night, and then, without a guilty conscience, throw them in the laundry basket and expect the magic drum of our washing machine to do its thing. But are we really washing our socks effectively?

Bath towels are something we use almost every day without paying much attention to them. After showering, we wrap them around our bodies, throw them over the rack, sometimes on the floor, sometimes over the bed (scream of horror!), and then – if we’re being honest – we use them again. And again. And again. Until they start to give off a scent that lets us know that we’ve clearly crossed the line of cleanliness.

White laundry has one of the biggest weaknesses in the laundry world – it seems that just by looking at the laundry basket, it loses its bright innocence and turns into a grayish memory of the past. Especially white socks, those hardy victims of daily walks around the apartment, up the stairs, sometimes even in the park (well, unintentionally). Despite washing them regularly and sending them good wishes to the washing machine, the stains just don’t seem to go away. And then comes the moment of despair – “Do I really need new white laundry every month?” The answer is: no!

The feeling of lying down on a towel that's soft, fragrant and gentle on your skin after a refreshing dip in the sea is one of those small but key moments of summer happiness.

But let's face it - that feeling doesn't last long. After a few washes, beach towels lose their magic. They're hard, unpleasant to the touch and sometimes even smell faintly of... a forgotten gym?

There's something mythical about a hotel bed. It's like climbing into a cloud that's been hand-ironed, scented with freshness, and disinfected with angel dust.

How to wash a pillow in the washing machine to make it snow-white again - a trick that will make it look like it came from a five-star hotel room again. https://citymagazine.si/en/how-to-wash-a-pillow-in-the-washing-machine-to-make-it-snow-white-again-a-trick-to-make-it-look-like-it-came-from-a-five-star-hotel-room-again/ Fri, 02 May 2025 06:54:54 +0000 https://citymagazine.si/en/?p=634563

If you looked at your pillowcase the last time you changed your sheets and thought it was once white, you’re not alone. Pillows are often overlooked heroes of the bedroom – loyal companions to your sleep, but over time they become a collection point for everything that shouldn’t be in contact with your skin. Sweat, grease, dust, makeup residue and microscopic guests who prefer to remain unmentioned slowly discolor the fabric and reduce its freshness. And while it may seem inevitable that your pillow will turn yellow, there’s a completely natural way to restore it to that sparkling white without harsh chemicals or expensive cleaners.

Black clothes have a special place in your closet – they're elegant, neutral, useful for any occasion and almost always the most flattering choice. The problem comes when that timeless black loses its intensity after a few washes and turns (well, fades) into all shades of grey. The culprit? A combination of hot water, strong detergents, washing too often and drying incorrectly. Fabric softeners also contribute. Let's see - how to keep black clothes black?!

Are your black jeans fading after the third wash?

There's nothing worse than this moment: you take your once elegant, almost philosophical black jeans out of the washing machine and discover that they're now more like an unconvincing gray. The color that was once as dark as an existential crisis has dissolved somewhere between the centrifuge and the fabric softener. And the worst part – it happened after just the second wash! A real fashion crime, if you ask us.

Homemade bleach for sparkling white laundry that smells like summer lemonade – no chemicals, no hassle https://citymagazine.si/en/homemade-bleach-for-sparkling-white-laundry-that-smells-like-summer-lemonade-no-chemicals-no-complications/ Sun, 13 Apr 2025 06:42:29 +0000 https://citymagazine.si/en/?p=631457

Cleaners that promise "snow-white" and "long-lasting freshness" often hide more than just magical effects - they also hide ingredients you can't even pronounce, let alone understand. And let's face it, reading detergent labels sometimes feels like we're solving a chemistry equation in high school. But hey - cleanliness doesn't have to smell like a lab. There's an elegant, natural solution that combines efficiency with sensual pleasure - and no, it's not another hipster fad, but a seriously useful homemade alternative.

When you think of sugar, you probably picture desserts, coffee, or morning pancakes—not freshly laundered jeans that are just glowing with freshness. But it turns out that sugar has another, rather surprising, superpower: it saves our clothes from fading and looking tired. No, it's not a new miracle chemical, but a simple home trick that's so logical you'll wonder why you didn't discover it sooner.

Ah, sneakers – our faithful companions on all walks, concerts, outings and everyday runs around the city. When they're new, they're a fashion statement.
