Influencer Sabrilia shows on Instagram how she repairs the brittle print on her children's T-shirts with nail polish remover. The video goes viral.
Have you ever been annoyed that the image of a comic book hero or animal on your shirt becomes brittle over time? Influencer Sabrilia presents the solution on Instagram: Rub the shirt with nail polish remover containing acetone. She takes a cotton pad and carefully dabs the brittle areas. And sure enough, the print immediately shrinks and makes cracked areas disappear.
The video has already been viewed 1.2 million times. Around 111,000 people follow the blogger on the social media platform. And they are delighted with the mum-of-three's creative tips and tricks. "It really works!" writes one follower enthusiastically. But others who have tried the trick straight away report that the repair doesn't last long.
That's why Sabrilia has made an update: if you iron the shirt again with baking paper after the nail polish remover treatment, it will last longer.
Note: Nail polish remover is currently only available for our Swiss customers.
