1. Cut from the heel of the bread first
First, cutting the top crust can ruin the entire loaf (especially when it's fresh). Instead of cutting the soft top crust, try cutting the bread starting from the bottom crust. This will help keep the bread's shape and cut it into even pieces.
2. Use 2 buckets when mopping the floor
If you want to speed up the mopping process, prepare 2 buckets. Fill the first one with clean water and leave the second one empty. Drain the dirty water into the second bucket, and the water in the first bucket will remain clean. This way, you won't have to run back and forth to change the water and keep dirt from spreading around.
3. Use white vinegar to remove stains on cups
Pour vinegar and water into the cup in equal proportions. Leave it on for a few minutes, then scrub your cup thoroughly then rinse everything with hot water. You can also add a little salt for better results.
4. Spray deodorant on the light bulb
If you want your room to smell nice throughout the day, try applying a deodorizing spray on the light bulb. Then, when you turn on the light, the bulb heats up and disperses the smell throughout the house.
5. Use oils to remove stickers
Stickers on bottles can be easily removed with oils, especially coconut oil. Before scrubbing the vial thoroughly, soak it in hot water for a few minutes, then rub some oil on the sticker and let it sit for 10 minutes. Then just scrub the jar clean.
6. Use a plastic straw to make the flower stand upright
The flowers in the vase will definitely wilt after a few days. To prevent this, use a plastic straw as a support. Place them around the stem or tie the flowers to the straw carefully. This way the flower can stay upright for days.
7. Add cinnamon to eliminate odors in the vacuum cleaner
If after vacuuming, your room has a bad smell, the cause may lie in the vacuum cleaner. To get rid of this unpleasant smell, put half a teaspoon of cinnamon in a dust bag. Then turn on the vacuum cleaner. This way, your room is not only filled with fragrance, but also protected from harmful bacteria.
8. Remove a broken light bulb with a potato
To protect your hands when picking up a damaged bulb, use a potato the same size as the bulb. Cut the potato in half, pat dry and then push the potato into the broken bulb. Then, twist the potato in the direction of the bulb rotation and remove the damaged part.
9. Remove oil stains with baby powder
Dab any excess oil on your clothes and immediately apply some baby powder to the stain. Leave it on for 30 minutes and use your fingers or a spatula to scrub away the powder and your clothes are clean again.
