I read this tip from a stage costumer. She wrote that to keep costumes fresh, costumers spray the costumes with vodka, the cheaper the better. (We used the ironically named “Aristocrat” brand, $4.49 at Price Cutters)“This shirt says ‘Dry Clean Only’. Which means it’s dirty.” Mitch Hedberg said it, but I always think it when I see my own pile of dirty dry cleaning. The worst, though, was my green suede jacket. I love that thing, but have been forbidden to wear it until it is dry cleaned. Yeah, that's gonna happen.
So I tried the vodka trick. I turned the jacket inside out, sprayed vodka in the pit regions and let it dry out. At first it smelled a little of alcohol, but that soon disappeared. Now I have my jacket back, and it smells like suede. Not booze. Not B.O. Just suede.
