Patch Your Clothes, Not the Ironing Board

That rip in your jeans can be tackled by sticking a patch on it. The process is quite simple, but it comes with a risk. The spot is prone to heat and tends to stick to the ironing board while ironing it on your clothes. A small piece of aluminum foil can help you deal with this situation.

Slip some bits of foil under the hole, and it will form a layer of heat absorbent material that will prevent any unwanted sticking. After the ironing is complete, you can easily slip out the piece of foil. Random jeans fact: you know that orange thread that Levi Strauss & Co. uses for stitching their jeans? Well, it’s trademarked. It’s used as a distinguishable feature to match the color of copper rivets.
