In our daily lives, we always encounter some minor troubles. Although these problems are not large, they can also cause some disruption to life.
Today, I'm going to share 12 free "tips" that are simple and practical. It only takes a few seconds to learn, and it helps you solve many problems in life with ease.
1. Remove refrigerator odors
After the refrigerator is used for a long time, it often produces odors. This not only results in a cross-flavour of food, but also shortens the shelf life of the food.
When it comes to fridge odors, you can wring out used face towels and lay them flat in the fridge, or place a few paper towels to absorb moisture and odors.
2. Restore crispiness to moist nuts
If the nuts get wet, it will affect their crispy texture.
You can put the moist nuts in the microwave for about 2 minutes. This way, the water in the nut will evaporate, making it crispy again. The same method applies to snacks such as cookies and potato chips.
3. Use a damp towel as a humidifier
When the air conditioner is turned on in the summer, the indoor air becomes dry. But if you have a baby at home, you don't dare to use a humidifier.
At this time, you can put a basin of water and hang a wet towel on it, which will increase the humidity by about 20%, so that the air will not be too dry, and at the same time, it will not have any negative impact on the baby.
4. Use three chopsticks to make a temporary steaming rack
If you want to steam something while cooking rice in a rice cooker, just prepare three chopsticks that can form a makeshift steaming rack.
Arrange the three chopsticks cross-legged inside the rice cooker to form a stable triangular stand. Then you can put a saucer on this stand, which is both flexible and practical.
5. Pad the soap with a fruit net
As we all know, soap softens easily when soaked in water for a long time. Traditional soap dishs are prone to splashing with water during use. If you don't pour it out in time, the bottom of the soap will be soaked.
You can put a fruit net cover in the soap box, and the fluffy net cover will hold the soap up. This way, even if there is water in the soap box, there is no need to worry about the soap being soaked.
6. Turn takeaway bags into kitchen trash cans
Kitchen space is already small, and placing trash cans on the floor can make it even more cramped.
You can hang a takeout bag on the kitchen cabinet door so that it can be made into a dangling "trash can". It is of a moderate height, does not take up floor space, and can be thrown away when it is used up.
7. Quick iced drink
What if you want a cold drink and you can't wait for it in the fridge?
You can wet a paper towel with salt water and wrap the drink bottle with it. Then put the wrapped drink in the freezer for about 5 minutes, and you can enjoy a cold drink.
8. Hairpin storage rope
If you have a girl in the house, you can see hairpins of various styles and colors everywhere. If it is not stored properly, it will look very messy.
You can attach two hooks to the wall and then connect them with a rope to tighten them slightly. Next, you can hang the hairpin at home on the rope, which is clear at a glance, easy to access, and can also play a decorative role.
9. Use the folder as a mosquito coil holder
If you need mosquito coils at home, but don't have a dedicated tray or stand, folders can come in handy.
Fix one end of the mosquito coil with a folder and start burning from the inside. This allows the mosquito coil to be in full contact with the air to ensure the combustion effect.
10. Tips for cleaning the wall breaker
After the wall breaker has been used for a long time, it is easy to form stubborn scale and stains inside, and it is very difficult to clean.
You can add 2 egg shells, 0 scoops of baking soda, 0 scoops of salt, 0 scoops of white vinegar, and water that has not been covered by the blade to the wall breaker. Then start the soybean milk mode operation, and finally rinse it with clean water, which can make the wall breaker look new.
11. Soak new clothes in salt water
Before washing the newly bought clothes for the first time, it is best to soak them in salt water for 30 minutes, and then rinse them with clean water.
Salt water has a color-fixing effect and prevents the garment from fading during subsequent washing, especially for jeans that tend to fade.
12. Commercial film for small items
When moving, if you have small items that are difficult to store in your home, you can use commercial film to wrap them. It's as simple as tying it with duct tape.
This method is so tight that you don't have to worry about items falling off at all, and it doesn't leave sticky marks like tape. You don't have to worry about moisture even on rainy days, and it prevents dust from entering.
The above 12 life tips may seem insignificant, but they can effectively solve some small troubles in daily life and improve our happiness in life.
