Sunflower or olive oil can be used not only in cooking.

The product will help housewives solve many household problems.

Thus, the viscous liquid copes well with dirt on certain surfaces.

There are other situations in which vegetable oil will come to a person's aid.

Furniture polish

The oil easily removes scuffs and restores shine to wooden and varnished surfaces.

To turn the product into a polish, mix vegetable oil with lemon juice. There should be two volumes of the viscous component for every one volume of the acidic component.

Shoe polish

If you pour a little oil onto a clean cloth and rub this piece of cloth over genuine leather shoes, the boots will shine.

"Fix" a zipper

Is the zipper stuck on your bag or jacket? No problem! Just take a cotton swab and dip it into a container with vegetable oil.

You need to wipe the jammed fastener with the prepared device and wait a few minutes. The zipper will “work” again.

Skin care product

If paint gets on your skin, don’t rush to wash off the stains with plain water.

It is better to use oil. The product will easily remove the remaining dye.

In addition, the oil will have a positive effect on the condition of the skin: it will soften and stop being dry.

Remove door creaking

If the doors make an unpleasant sound when opening, you need to “go over” the hinges with an oil-soaked cloth.

The result of this simple procedure will be the disappearance of the squeak.
