Many housewives use starch in cooking less often than during cleaning. It happens that the powder is used as a fertilizer for cultivated plants.
However, besides washing windows and cleaning jewelry, starch has other, little-known benefits, at least three more.
1. Removing stains
Starch is used during washing. This inexpensive product shows good results if you need to remove stains from the carpet, especially old and difficult ones (grease, ink, etc.). A fresh stain can simply be sprinkled with starch and left for 12 hours, and then the carpet can be vacuumed or swept.
If the stains are difficult, you will have to use a brush.
2. Grease in the kitchen
The work surface near the stove is constantly splashed with grease. The easiest way to clean the grease and soot that has accumulated on the countertop and kitchen apron is with a soft damp cloth, to which a little starch is applied. You can clean the hob or stove in the same way.
3. Leather furniture
If you have an ink stain on a leather item, you need to sprinkle it with starch and leave it for 12 hours. The starch will absorb the ink and all you need to do is wipe off the remaining product with a damp cloth.
