It would be a mistake to think that the scope of application of food products is limited to the kitchen alone.
Take, for example, the same starch: our grandmothers knew about its beneficial properties; they cooked jelly, made wallpaper glue, starched linen – and all this using starch.
Without further ado, here are 3 amazing ways to use starch.
Unpleasant smell of shoes
To eliminate the stench coming from your sneakers, you will need to sprinkle a small amount of cornstarch inside and leave the shoes like this overnight.
In the morning, don't forget to shake the starch out of your shoes.
Plush toys
To rid soft toys of accumulated dust and dirt, place them in a plastic bag and sprinkle with starch.
Tie the bag and shake it well. Let the toys lie there overnight, and in the morning all that remains is to vacuum them.
Grease stains
Thanks to its absorbent properties, starch can easily cope with such a task as removing greasy stains from clothes.
Sprinkle the stained area with starch, and when the grease has been absorbed, brush off the white powder and wash the item as usual.
