Household chores are the silent tasks of housewives. They may look easy, but once you start doing them, you’ll know if they are simple or not. Sometimes, women even have to create a highly scientific plan to manage everything in 24 hours. Alongside that, the small challenges in the house never stop testing mothers. Below are the “miraculous” hacks that have been shared since the early 20th century and are still considered the most effective until now. Have you known all these hacks? Let’s take a look!
Gas leakage is extremely dangerous for every household. Women are the ones who always hover around the kitchen, so they can’t avoid encountering gas leaks. If there are no men in the house, they can still check and prevent it by doing this. When you smell gas, rub some soap or dishwashing liquid on the gas pipe. At that time, bubbles will immediately appear at the leakage point, and you can easily detect it to prevent it in time.

In the usual habit, every time something accidentally falls, the broken pieces make us extremely uncomfortable. Partly because they are too small, and partly because we don’t know how to clean them thoroughly. At this time, many people will use a broom or vacuum cleaner to handle it. However, according to the ancients, this is not an effective way, and it is best to use a wet cloth or wet fabric to wipe the area where the pieces fell. After wiping, throw away that cloth or fabric, and that way the broken pieces will completely disappear.

When being stung or stabbed, many people will quickly look for tweezers or something to clamp and remove it. However, this method is not considered effective for those who don’t know. It is best to pour boiling water into a glass jar, press the injured area onto the water surface. At that time, the hot steam will gradually push the splinter out for you to easily remove it without pain.

When stacking two glass cups on top of each other, they will accidentally stick together and be difficult to separate. To handle this situation and avoid breakage, pour cold water into the cup on top and put the cup at the bottom in hot water. At that time, the cold water will make the particles in the upper cup contract, while the hot steam will make the molecules in the lower cup expand. At this point, you can easily separate the two cups without any difficulty and ensure they won’t break.

There is a trick to keep flowers fresh without water or light that not everyone knows. That is to put the flower stem into a potato. At this time, even if you have to travel a long distance to give it to your loved ones or friends, you don’t have to worry about the flowers wilting because there is a “helper potato” for at least a week.

Crumbly sandwich loaves always make mothers uncomfortable because they always scatter everywhere when cut. The old-fashioned hack suggests that just by putting a boiling water container next to the loaf, everything will become extremely simple. The steam will soften the bread crust, and you can still cut it into thin, neat slices without it crumbling.
