The saying “work smart not hard” could be relevant in this situation. Eggs could be easily broken; and if they got broken on something, they become cleaning nightmares. Eggs have a sticky nature that makes cleaning them a dilemma, so we keep scrubbing hard in order to get the whole thing clear.
It seems that salt is coming once again for the rescue. Here is a trick that even pro maid cleaning services may not know. You can clean broken eggs by spreading salt over them. Then, the mixture of egg and salt becomes dry after around 5 min. So you can just bring a dustpan and sweep, and your surface will remain clean.
Keeping The Taste
In addition to being very healthy, garlic adds an amazing taste to our meals. It is used by so many cultures around the world for cooking and healing purposes. However, sometimes garlic becomes dry and loses its taste.
In order to prevent this from happening, put all your garlic in a box or container and cover them with coarse salt-salt that is formed into large crystals or granules- this way you’ll be able to maintain its great taste and keep it from getting dry.
So spread some salt on your garlic so that you won’t have to keep on taking trips to the store when they get ruined.
Annoying Parasites
Bay leaf is an aroma leaf that is used for cooking. It adds a distinctive fragrance and very special flavor to the meals. However, cooking is not the only use of bay leaves. Ask yourself the following questions:
how many times do you see a line of ants or midges or other insects wondering around the house, especially in the kitchen? How many times do you see them getting attracted to flower pots, sugar and bread boxes? It is annoying, isn’t it? Then, all you have to is to put bay leaves in these pots and boxes and say goodbye to all of these annoying parasites.
Woolen Clothes Drying
One of the most common problems with washing woolen clothes is drying them. Sometimes we can’t help but feel that our cotton sweater has become larger after a wash. Moreover, woolen sweaters take a long time to dry out. Therefore, in order to avoid all these problems, use a pair of tights when trying to dry a woolen sweater.
Put the legs of the tights through the sleeves, and put the waist area through the cut of the sweater. Tie each leg to a side of clothesline and tie the waist area in the middle. Therefore, your sweater will stay in a normal position, and won’t get any larger.
Don’t Throw Away Old Things
They say that one man’s trash could be another one’s treasure. Well, your trash could be your treasure. For instance, a small old teapot could be used for stuff other than serving tea. You can put a rope in the teapot and hang its end outside through the nose.
Then, whenever you need a rope, you can simply pull it out without being tangled. Think of other creative ways to use stuff that you don’t need anymore; they could save you a lot of money and time.
Tangling Knots
Sometimes our shoe knots or any other kinds of knots get tangled that it seems so hard to untangle them. In this case, just use some baby talc and pour it on the knot. The baby talc can smoothen the untangling so that you won’t end up hurting your teeth or breaking a finger.
