    Also for scuffs on shoes or purses/ bags I love magic erasers. I also love tinted boot polish to restore leather on bags or shoes and a coat of mink oil on top …

    Persil is the best detergent to get the goodwill "smell" out of it. Customers love clean smelling clothing!

    Just found your channel. Subscribed. Looking forward to seeing more videos. I have been spraying isopropol alcohol on thrift store clothing to eliminate that thrift store smell. So far, so good. I might try spraying with vodka to compare the results. I may or may not follow up by laundering with scent-free laundry detergent. Steaming is optional, also. Thank you!

    Very good! Thank you. Question about the steamer---that's pretty hot, moist air---won't it hurt delicate fabrics? I thought that was why they needed to be dry cleaned. I have avoided buying dry clean items!

    • @thethriftyjewel
      @thethriftyjewel  2 роки тому +4

      If the fabric is delicate I lightly steam by holding it out away from the fabric, just enough for the steam to hit it. I have steamed wedding gowns before.

    I am very disappointed with Consignment stores numerous years. I buy from a wide variety of second hand clothing and have been generally satisfied. But trying to sell my new and good condition items at a reasonable price has been very disappointing and disturbing. I am black and have witnessed a white person ahead of me with less quality items be accepted but not my items more than I care to admit. Now, I will try online blind sell and see the results. I truly enjoy this hobby and want to become successful making all parties Happy!

    Do you need to obtain permission from Levi to sell those jeans? I want to sell thrifted clothes on my online store but I don't want to do anything illegal.

    • @MyPianoArchives
      @MyPianoArchives 7 місяців тому

      No need to get permission - if you were selling ONLY Levi items and I mean hundreds of them.. they might wonder where you got so many items of their brand (and it’d be a good investment creating/ getting protected under a LLC, in that case.)
