Hair dryers are a must-have device in every household. We often use hair dryers to dry our hair after washing it. However, the role of a hair dryer is not limited to just that function, it has many other useful uses. Below, we will summarize some amazing uses of hair dryers in our daily life, helping us solve many inconveniences. Let’s take a look!
Function 1: Like a vacuum cleaner
Hair dryers can also be used as a vacuum cleaner, helping to preserve food longer and being very convenient.
How to: First, you need to prepare an empty plastic bottle, then cut off the top 1/3 of the bottle. The bottom part of the bottle is not needed and can be discarded. Then, you need to drill a hole in the middle of the bottle cap, the size of the hole should be just enough for the straw. After that, insert the straw into the hole and use melted glue to create a circle around the straw to secure it. When the glue cools down and solidifies, you just need to attach it to the nozzle of the hair dryer, and the transformation process of the vacuum cleaner is complete.
Next, you just need to put the straw into a zip-lock bag, then turn on the hair dryer and blow cold air at a low level. The air inside the bag will be immediately sucked out, creating a vacuum environment inside the bag. Finally, you just need to seal the bag, and this air blower will work very effectively.
Function 2: Make adhesive hooks stronger
Adhesive hooks are very convenient, used to hang small objects in the house easily. However, after hanging for a while, the adhesive layer underneath may come off, causing the hook to fall off, and after reapplying the adhesive, it won’t stick anymore and you have to spend money to buy new ones.
Actually, the weak adhesion of the hook is just because we didn’t stick it accurately, so with a little change, you can fix this flaw. Specifically: Before sticking the hook, you need to use a wet cloth to clean the wall, avoid letting foreign objects stick to the wall, which will weaken the hook. Then, you dry the wall and use the hair dryer to blow hot air at the spot where you want to attach the hook. The heat of the wall will make the glue on our hook stick better.
Function 3: Reduce cold symptoms
Usually, when we have a cold, we often have a stuffy nose accompanied by runny nose, which feels very uncomfortable and even causes headaches. When facing these issues, we can use a hair dryer. Just blow hot air into the nostrils for about a minute, and then blow behind the neck for a minute or longer.
Repeat these actions alternately in these two areas for about ten minutes, it can effectively reduce nasal congestion and headaches.
Function 4: Warm up clothes
In winter, the most difficult part is getting up, leaving the warm bed, and putting on clothes. Due to the influence of the ambient temperature, the clothes we wear in winter will feel cold and often take a long time to warm up. At this time, we can use a hair dryer, turn on the hot drying mode first, and then blow it on the clothes. It only takes a few seconds for the clothes to no longer feel cold, and wearing them will make you more comfortable.
In addition, if our clothes are left in the closet for a long time, they will have a musty smell, and it will be too much trouble to wash all of them. At this time, we can also use a hair dryer to eliminate the musty smell on the clothes, helping the clothes dry and not easily attacked by mold again!
