Cotton swabs: unconventional ways of using them in everyday life

Cotton swabs are products that are designed to clean the outer part of the ear.

However, few people know that cotton swabs are becoming indispensable helpers in solving everyday problems.

Let's consider options for their non-standard use.

Cleaning the keyboard

The dustiest and dirtiest place in your laptop is the keyboard. Is it time to clean the accessory?

Then, dip a cotton swab in alcohol and wipe the hard-to-reach areas of the keyboard. Go between the keys to get rid of all the dirt.

Caring for your jewelry

If the jewelry is decorated with intricate patterns, cleaning it will cause a lot of difficulties. To cope with the problems, arm yourself with a cotton swab, which has a sharp tip.

Treat hard-to-reach areas with it, using a cleaning paste. Then rinse the product well, dry the jewelry with paper towels.

Lighting candles

Do you use candles placed in candlesticks or jars? Is the wick immersed in wax, so you can't light the product with matches?

Then dip a cotton swab in alcohol and fill a glass with water. Now you can light the tip of the stick, which will burn for a long time. Light a candle and dip the cotton swab in a glass of water to prevent fire and burns.

Zipper repair

The zipper that many things are equipped with can get stuck. Often, a person cannot move the "dog", which leads to being late for important events. To deal with the problem, dip a cotton swab in olive oil.

Then lubricate the jammed area well and slowly pull the slider down. The fastener will return to working condition, because the material will be released instantly.

Hair coloring

Some women dye their hair at home. After such a procedure, missed areas are often discovered.

You can fix the problem with a cotton swab.

Dip it in the dye and apply the product to an undyed strand of hair. Wrap the lock in foil, remove the material after ten minutes.

Restoring the appearance of shoes

Have you noticed fresh scratches on your newly purchased shoes? Don't be upset, as a cotton swab will help you deal with the defects. Just wet its tip in a liquid that is designed to remove nail polish.

Then wipe the deformed area with the product. Lubricate this place with Vaseline so that the shoes look great again.

Repair of chipped tiles

If a heavy object falls on the tile, a piece of ceramic may break off. It is not always possible to replace one of the surface elements.

You can take a cotton swab and dip it into nail polish that matches the shade of the tile. Carefully apply the product to the chip, wait until it dries completely, and then repeat the procedure!
