A Chinese woman taught how to tie knots in the corners of a sheet and how to eliminate odors from shoes
Sometimes, the simplest tricks can change our daily routine.
From adjusting a sheet so it doesn’t slip to removing odors from shoes, these 11 practical tips will help you in your everyday life.
Pay special attention to the first two, because they will surprise you!
1. Make knots in the corners of the sheets
If your sheets tend to come out of the mattress overnight, simply tie a knot in each corner of the fitted sheet. This will give a better grip on the mattress and prevent it from slipping, keeping it in place overnight.
2. Eliminate odors from shoes with tea bags
Place used and dried tea bags inside your shoes. These will absorb bad odors and leave a fresher aroma. If the smell is very intense, you can try cotton pads moistened in hydrogen peroxide and leave them inside for a few hours.
3. Renew kitchen sponges
Does your dishwashing sponge smell bad? Place it in the microwave with a glass of water for a couple of minutes. This will remove odors and bacteria, leaving it ready to continue use.
4. Protect your feet from chafing with foam
Cut a thin strip of foam sponge and attach it to the inner heel of your shoes with double-sided tape. This trick will prevent annoying chafing on your feet.
5. Take advantage of cardboard tubes to clean difficult corners
Do not throw away cardboard aluminum foil or parchment tubes. You can adapt them to the end of the vacuum to reach tricky places where the normal nozzle can’t reach.
6. Store your sheets in a practical way
Keep the entire bedding set together by folding it and storing it inside one of the pillowcases. This will prevent them from spreading around the cupboard.
7. I revived the texture of yesterday’s pastas
If your noodles from yesterday got stuck on a block, simply pour boiling water on them and mix them gently. This will separate them and make them look like freshly cooked. Queue them and enjoy them again.
8. Fresh bread in minutes
If your bread is dry, dampen a tea towel, wrap the bread in it, and place everything in a plastic bag with small holes. Heat the bag in the microwave for a couple of minutes, and your bread will be fresh and soft as if it had just been baked.
9. Make perfect bonds that don’t untie
To tie a bow that is firm and even, make sure to cross the ribbons in the same way every time and tighten them firmly at the end.
10. Create a convenient bag dispenser
Cut the handle of a plastic bottle and make an opening at the top. Place your bags inside and you will have a practical and mess-free dispenser.
11. Keep sponges in good condition
When the sponge loses its freshness, clean it with soap and water before letting it dry completely. This will delay the appearance of bad odors.
These tricks are easy to implement and can save you time and effort.
From improving the order in your home to keeping your shoes cool, each one is designed to make your day-to-day life simpler.
