Vegetable oil is relatively inexpensive, if we are talking about rapeseed or sunflower oil.
And even if you are used to cooking only with high-quality olive oil, keeping one bottle of a cheaper plant-based analogue will not be superfluous, because this product can be used in many ways in everyday life.
Here are a couple of the most unexpected ones.
Inexpensive vegetable oil can be used to repair leather shoes or an unruly zipper.
Oil comes in handy when you need to restore shine to leather items. If it is footwear, then before polishing it with oil, you need to remove the remaining dirt and dust with a dry cloth, then moisten a dry cloth with oil and wipe the surface of the footwear.
After 10-15 minutes, when the oil has dried, the shoes should be polished with a dry and clean cloth.
A zipper on a jacket, bag or jeans that periodically gets stuck can also be fixed.
Simply soak a cotton swab in oil and go over the clasp and runner.
The main thing is that the oil does not get on the material, otherwise you will have to remove greasy stains, and this is a completely different problem.
