Children love skidding on their knees across the grass, which seems like a truly fun game, but the grass stains are not…

Luckily, you can erase them easily by creating a thick paste of sugar with a few drops of tap water, put it on the stain, leave for 30 or 60 minutes, and then wash it as usual.

You can now let your kids experience the joy of skidding on their knees for as much as they want, and perhaps this time you would join, too.

Somehow, we are always late in discovering the great benefits of the things we have at home. For ages, we have been using medicine to heal bedsores, leg ulcers, and other wounds. But in Africa, they used sugar to treat these things, including amputations.

The explanation is sugar can draw water out of the wound, which will prevent the bacteria from surviving. So whenever you get a wound, just put a little sugar on it till it heals completely. Plus, sugar is the cheapest treatment you can get!

If you want to clean the grinder that you use for nuts, coffee beans, and any other item, then you should add a ½ cup of granulated sugar into the grinder, and then turn it on.

Those machines need regular cleaning, but with the blades, you would mostly try to ignore it or not clean it as supposed to. The sugar you added to the grinder will not only clean it but also deodorize it, which is a perfect solution.

It is especially annoying when it is spring or summer because the flies would be everywhere, especially in our homes. The wasps, however, are just scary and a little dangerous to leave around or to even come close to kill them.

You can easily create a thick solution by mixing sugar and water in a pan, put the mixture in a soda bottle or an empty jar, then place it where the bugs are. The smell will attract them, they will fly in, get stuck, and you will be free from their annoyance.
