Not everyone knows that experienced housewives often use familiar potatoes to solve household issues.
As it turns out, the popular vegetable can be useful in a number of cases.
What tricks many people don't know about
For cleaning silver
Products made of this metal have the negative feature of becoming covered with a black coating. Some people solve the problem with professional cleaning, but there are not always funds for this method.
Therefore, it is worth boiling potatoes in their skins, putting cutlery into the remaining water and waiting for 30 minutes.
Afterwards, all that remains is to lightly brush with a clean toothbrush and dry.
"Updating" leather shoes
Sometimes, due to weather conditions, leather shoes lose their attractive appearance too quickly. You can try a very original way to solve the problem.
First, remove traces of dust and dirt. Then treat the shoes with raw potatoes. After 5 minutes, treat the surface with a damp cloth and wipe with a paper towel.
Grease and carbon deposits
There is an interesting way to remove fat and carbon deposits from frying pans and other dishes. You will need to prepare about half a kilogram of potato peelings and put them in a large saucepan. Then add a piece of laundry soap grated on a grater.
Next, bring the mixture to a boil. Leave the dirty dishes in the pan. After 30-40 minutes, you can remove the dirt without much effort.
