In Soviet times, housewives knew a large number of household tricks.
Now many of these tricks seem strange and funny.
Few modern women use these life hacks.
And in vain, because they can be very useful, despite their apparent absurdity.
So, what women's tricks were extremely popular during the Soviet era?
Darning stockings with hair
Of course, holes in the product can be patched with thread.
But there is a problem: the color of the yarn is usually very different from the color of the stockings.
Soviet housewives found a way out of this situation: they darned the product with hair to make it look better.
Storing onions in stockings
There was another interesting Soviet life hack related to stockings: many people stored onions in this product.
The vegetable lay there for a very long time without spoiling.
Newspaper as a cover
During the Soviet era, few people threw away newspaper, because this material was considered necessary in everyday life. With its help, you could wash windows without streaks.
In addition, the newspaper can easily be turned into a hat that can be worn during renovations.
And the periodical often turned into a cover. The newspaper really looks good on books.
Earlier we told you why you should add salt when washing floors.
