Home Handy Tips

Let’s make life simpler with these everyday household tips. Most of us must have read some of these household tips somewhere or other or simply known them for years. Yet it is a guarantee that each one of us is going to benefit from these household tips one way or the other. These household tips make us realize that for most of the household problems the solution lies within the home itself.

Get rid of mosquitoes by putting baby oil on yourself. Mosquitoes simply hate baby oil and stay away from it.

Got rude sunburn? Simply add a large jar of Nestea into your bath water and see the magic.

To get relief from sore throat mix ¼ cup of vinegar with ¼ cup of honey and take 1 tablespoon around six times a day. You will be fine in just no time.

To keep your fridge smelling fresh for a longer time, keep a box of baking soda or a can filled with charcoal or even dried coffee grounds.

Fill your room with a lovely scent by simply spraying perfume on the light bulb. The fragrance will spread to every corner of the room when the light is turned on.

Lizards: Hang a peacock feather, lizards will leave your house.

Fruits: To ripen fruits, wrap them in newspaper and put in a warm place for 2-3 days. The ethylene gas they emit will make them ripe.

Milk: Moisten the base of the vessel with water to reduce the chances of milk sticking at the bottom. Keep a spoon in the vessel while boiling milk at medium heat. This will stop the milk from sticking to the bottom of the vessel. Adding half a teaspoon of sodium bicarbonate to the milk while boiling ensures that the milk will not get spoilt even if you don't put it in the fridge.

Mixer/Grinder: Grind some common salt in your mixer/grinder for some time every month. This will keep your mixer blades sharp.

Mosquitoes: Put a few camphor tablets in a cup of water and keep it in the bed room near your bed, or in any place with mosquitoes. Mosquitoes will soon dissappear.

Paneer: To keep paneer fresh for several days, wrap it in blotting paper while storing in the refrigerator. Do not fry paneer, immerse it in boiling water to make it soft and spongy.

If you have got glassware stuck to each other then add cold water in the inner glassware and put the whole set in hot water and see them come apart.

To remove stains from plastic ware, dip them in hot water with one cup of bleach. Take them out after a while and clean them as usual. They will shine clean.

If you add bay leafs to the flour container the flour will remain free from moisture
