Ringless Around the Collar

Happy New Year readers! 2012 is in full swing now and if you are recovering from overspending during the holidays, you can save a few bucks by washing your own shirts. The Laundress of New York makes a Wash & Stain Bar made out of vegetable soap and borax that will leave your collars and cuffs clean as a whistle. Just dampen the areas with water, rub them with the Wash & Stain Bar and launder. In 20 minutes, you'll have a clean shirt and two more bucks in your pocket. Add a warm iron and a little spray starch and you'll be good to go. You can find The Laundress products at major retailers and on their website.
