August 5, 2022 [View Online]( Good morning! Whether you don’t have access to an iron or just don’t want to use it, there are alternatives to ironing when you’re faced with rumpled, wrinkled clothes. But one of those alternatives stands out from the crowd for its simplicity and affordability, and I’ll tell you all about it in Today’s Good Thing. And in Remember When, I’m reflecting on the swimwear styles of my youth. Whether you used to channel your inner Cheryl Tiegs at the pool, or you, had to wear the one-piece your parents picked out like I did, it’s sure to bring back memories! Jillee TODAY'S GOOD THING This Is The Best Quick Fix For Wrinkled Clothes [Before and after photos of wrinkled clothes.]( Clothes looking more rumpled than refined? This simple spray will sort them out in a hurry. Ironing isn’t the absolute worst chore out there, but it’s definitely not my favorite either. I know plenty of tips and tricks that make it a lot easier, but honestly, if I can find a way to avoid it, I almost always will. Between setting up the ironing board and waiting for the iron to get hot, it’s a whole song and dance. (And don’t get me started about the burnt gunk that is always plaguing the soleplate!) The process is particularly annoying if I only need to get the wrinkles out of a single top—much ado about almost nothing! For these reasons and more, I'm very happy to know about the wonderful, budget-friendly wrinkle release spray I’ll be sharing with you today. A few spritzes of this stuff helps relax the fibers in your clothes so the wrinkles fall out before your eyes. Not only is it handy to have around the house, but I like to take it with me when I travel too. I spray my clothes as I take them out of my luggage to hang them up, and it gets rid of any creases or wrinkles they may have acquired in transit. Follow the link below and find out how to use 3 simple ingredients to take care of wrinkled clothes with less ironing (which should be a welcome break in the heat of summer!)

WEEKEND CLEANING CHALLENGE Clean Your Walls In 3 Simple Steps [Photo of cleaning walls with a magic eraser.]( It’s no one’s favorite job, but this 3-step process will make cleaning your walls painless. Washing walls is one of those tasks that few people are eager to do. Considering the amount of wall space in the average home, it's not hard to understand why the task can feel daunting, but it doesn’t have to be as laborious or time-consuming as you might think. Plus, it usually feels quite satisfying to remove the layer of grime that's built up on my walls over time. My home always feels cleaner and brighter afterward, and yours will too if you tackle this challenge over the weekend! Here’s how to do it: 1. Vacuum. Start by using your vacuum and dusting attachment to clear away cobwebs and loose dust clinging to your walls. Pay special attention to corners, windowsills, baseboards, and the tops of doorways and wall decor. 2. Wash. Use a solution of warm water and a few drops of dish soap, along with either a microfiber cloth (a more physically demanding option) or a long-handled tool like a Swiffer or [Cuban mop]( (easier on your back). Work your way up from the bottom of the wall to avoid drips, which can leave walls looking streaky. 3. Spot Clean. After washing all of your walls, use a magic eraser to spot clean any remaining scuff marks or stubborn stains. Make sure the eraser is wet enough and rub lightly. (The more pressure you use with a magic eraser, the more likely you are to take paint off your walls, so be gentle!) UNUSUAL USES 3 Surprising Ways To Use Shower Curtain Rings [Photos of uses for shower curtain rings.]( A few inexpensive shower curtain rings or hooks can come in handy around the house. 1. Easy Kitchen Storage. Use shower rings or hooks to hang utensils, dish towels, and other items in your kitchen. You can hang them from existing storage rods or racks, or put up a tension rod and hang them from that. It's both a functional and attractive way to add storage to a small kitchen. 2. Keep Track Of Hair Ties. If your hair ties are always disappearing on you, make them easier to keep track of by threading them onto a shower curtain ring that clips closed. It’s an easy way to stay organized, and doing this has already saved me more than one trip to the store to buy more of them! 3. Organize Cleaning Tools. If you have a coat closet in your home with some free space on the rod, put that space to good use by hanging cleaning tools from it using shower rings or hooks. Not only will it get them up off the floor, but it will prevent long-handled tools from falling over all the time—one of my biggest pet peeves! REMEMBER WHEN Swimwear [Supermodel swimwear in the '70s versus my swimwear.]( At the same time that supermodels Christie Brinkley and Cheryl Tiegs were sporting teeny tiny bikinis in the ‘70s, I was sporting swimwear that involved a great deal more fabric than you’d ever catch on either of them. You could usually find yours truly heading to the beach or pool in a boring one-piece. Other times I wore a tankini-style two-piece, which was like a bikini with a top that had a skirt sewed to the bottom edge. As you can probably gather, my parents were pretty conservative when it came to clothing. Their insistence that I wear "modest" swimsuits felt mortifying as a teenager, but it actually suits me quite well now! I’m just glad I missed the era of elaborate swim caps—although I definitely remember wearing one to my swimming lessons when I was a “tadpole.” What kind of swimwear were you sporting back in the day?

Underwear helps keep our clothes cleaner so we can do things like wear the same jeans for a week straight. When you think of all the laundry you'd have to do without it, it's clear that underwear deserves to be celebrated! On This Day: In 1888, [Bertha Benz](, business partner and wife of automobile inventor Carl Benz, drove a [Benz Patent-Motorwagen No. 3]( from Mannheim to Pfrozheim, making the first long-distance journey in an automobile powered by a combustion engine. The success of the trip, which she had taken without Carl's knowledge, helped drive their company’s first sales. 🤔 Wordle: [Solve today's 5-letter word](. What did you think of today's email?
