A Secret, Super Effective Laundry Deodorisier

Approximate $ Savings: $10 - $15 on soakers and laundry sprays

My husband is a mechanic and his clothes get very sweaty and very smelly. After countless bars of stain soap and sprays, not to mention trying numerous brands of detergents I finally found an easy cheap way to get rid of the sweaty, smelly and time consuming stains, not only from his work overalls, but in kids t-shirts, ladies blouses and anywhere stained by sweat. Simply drop in half a bucket of cool water 3 or 4 aspirin tablets, add the clothes and leave for 2 hours to soak, problem solved. The aspirin tablets can be bought really cheaply, just purchase a home brand from your local supermarket.

Editor's note: This works! With winter sports season upon us, finding a solution to those smelly footy and hockey uniforms, that won't cost a fortune or destroy the clothes, becomes something every mum is looking for. I used to soak Hannah's hockey uniforms and the boys' basketball and football uniforms in a bucket of water with 4 aspirin dissolved in it, then dump them into the washing machine. They were always clean and never smelly. Cath
