Potato starch should definitely be in every apartment, because it can be useful not only in cooking, but also in solving many household chores.
Our grandmothers already knew about this: from this article you will learn how they used starch and thus made their household chores easier.
Removing difficult stains
Juice, grass, wine can leave behind some really tough stains.
To easily remove them, apply a small amount of starch to the stained area, and after a few minutes, wipe off the white powder and rinse the stained item in cold water.
Because the starch will "absorb" the stain, it will become much less noticeable or even disappear completely. An important condition: the stain must be fresh.
If you want to remove a greasy stain, prepare a mixture of 50 ml of milk and 4 tablespoons of starch. Let this paste sit on the stained fabric overnight, after which it should be removed, along with the grease stain.
Getting rid of unpleasant odors
If you are faced with the problem of a repulsive smell appearing in your apartment, including from your shoes, try sprinkling the source of the unpleasant “aroma” with starch and leaving it for a few hours, or if possible, overnight.
In the morning, when you vacuum up the starch, you can enjoy the freshness.
