You've probably heard about how vinegar, baking soda, and lemon juice help with cleaning. But what's worse than rice? As it turns out, nothing: it's also an indispensable assistant in household chores.
Resuscitation for equipment
If you accidentally dropped your phone or other gadget into water, immediately place it in a container with rice: the grains will absorb the water, and it is quite possible that you will be able to do without repairs.
Cleaning the coffee grinder
To clean your grinder, pour the beans into the bowl so that they cover the blades and turn the machine on for a minute – this is the easiest way to get rid of any old roast residue or spice marks.
Washing tall and narrow containers
Sometimes housewives face the need to clean a vase, bottle or other similar container. To achieve the intended effect, you should pour about 50 g of rice inside and add a little detergent and water. All that remains is to shake the container well and finally rinse it under clean water.
Plant fertilizing
Not only is rice useful, but also the water left after cooking it – it can be used as fertilizer for indoor flowers.
Washing dishes and utensils
By the way, in China they use this same water to wash dishes, cutlery, and also to clean kitchen countertops, and all because it contains starch, which makes rice broth a delicate abrasive.
