Let me share some tips to make household chores easier:
1. Stained kettle or any stainless steel pot - fill the pot ¾ full of water and put a slice of lemon for every 2 liters. Bring to boil and you will find a sparkling clean pot inside.
2. The exterior of charred pot - you may use stain removal spray for stainless steel which is available in stores.
3. Stains on painted metal rails, window frames, furniture - use car wax to remove stains.
4. Polish plastic surfaces with car wax.
5. Remove rust from knives and forks, stick them into an onion and rub through the length of the utensil.
6. Clean glass panels by using a semi dry squashed newspaper and followed with a dry one to get it sparkling.
7. Always clean any surfaces with a wet cloth and immediately go over with a dry one. Surface will glow.
8.
Odor- To remove smell of perspiration from clothes, add 3 aspirin pills in half a pail of water and put clothes in.
- To remove smell from the fridge use tea leaves or put one potato.
9. Prevent houseflies from hovering around your food, place a small bowl sprinkled with sesame oil and pepper. Another method is to light candles with a stand on your table.
10. Soak bristles of toothbrushes etc with salt before use as this will prolong the life span of the brush.
11. Lubricate all hinges and locks with sewing machine oil to prevent screeching and rust.
12. Oil all garden tools before you keep them wrapped in newspapers.
13. Polish all teak furniture and parquet flooring with teak oil or lemon oil available in stores.
