    Unbelievably valuable tips and tricks for those of us who buy, repurpose and sell thrifted items! My head was spinning, while you shared gem after gem about how to treat thrifted items. What a great video! You definitely have a new subscriber!

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

    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 …

    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 ปีที่แล้ว +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 หลายเดือนก่อน

      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.)
