You know when you buy new clothes and they come equipped with that trusty extra piece of fabric? To some, we just figured it was for fixing rips and tears, right? Wrong!

Actually, those extra pieces of fabric are included so that you can test the colorfastness of the fabric when it becomes laundry time. How clever! It has been advised to keep those fabric pieces when you’re changing laundry detergents or experimenting with a new stain remover. So instead of ruining your new clothes, you can simply test the fabric to see the end result before you wash.

Bet you never thought pen lids can save a life!
