4. Removing Pet Hair
If you’re worried about having your house full of pet dander, worry no more! The easiest way on how to get rid of pet hair is by using a rubber glove. All you have to do is wear a rubber glove on your hand and soak it in some water.
Remove the excess water from it and start rubbing your hand in a cleaning motion against whatever fabric or furniture you’d like to remove hair from. This technique works effectively in couches, shelves, clothes, and so on. The pet hair will hold on to the wet glove effortlessly.
5. Cleaning Your Knick-Knacks
Just like we have mentioned, gloves are the best way to reach and clean certain areas you can’t usually clean with a normal piece of cloth. Delicate objects and ornaments you might have in your house are a great example of items that are hard to clean.
Normally these items are too small or too delicate, and we feel scared to even come near them. But when you have a glove on, you have way more control of what you’re doing and the pressure you’re applying to each object. So a pair of gloves and the right cleaning products are everything you need to clean these fragile items.
6. Make A DYI Stuffed Toy!
If you have kids or you want to surprise someone with a cute and original gift, you should put your creativity to the test and try making a stuffed toy out of a simple glove! All you need is a glove and some material for the stuffing. It can be cotton, sand, or some small pieces of styrofoam.
Then, the rest of the materials will serve as decoration, paint, stickers, patches you can sew, the sky is the limit. Depending on the toy purpose, you’ll know what’s the best material and decoration for the toy to have. Then, don’t forget to stitch everything in place, and you’re done!
7. Drawer Freshener
While on the DYI subject, another thing you can do with a pair of old gloves, is to turn them into fresheners that you can place inside your clothes drawer to keep them smelling fresh. You can put some dry herbs or tea bags inside the glove and stitch it up so the herbs won’t come off.
Whenever the smell fades away, you open the glove, wash it, and place some new herbs in it again. Easy right? We all know the normal uses of gloves! They’re used for cleaning, protecting our hands, and they can even help us opening a jar when our hands get too slippery. But what we didn’t know until now is how to use gloves at home in a creative and useful way!
Fortunately, now you’re part of the small percentage of people who are aware of these glove hacks, but just because you learned something new, that doesn’t mean you have to keep it to yourself. Don’t hesitate to share these tips with your friends and family, they will appreciate it!
