Old newspapers can be useful, so don't rush to throw them away immediately after reading them.
Here are just a few ways to use old newspapers.
To remove streaks from glass or mirrors, wipe the surface with a crumpled newspaper soaked in water.
To eliminate unpleasant odors in the refrigerator, you need to spread crumpled newspapers on the shelves inside the refrigerator.
Newsprint even helps dry shoes: just stuff newspapers into wet shoes so that they absorb moisture overnight.
Newspapers will also come to the rescue if you need to sharpen dull knives. This life hack has been appreciated by many women who, unlike men, are not always able to cope with special devices for sharpening tools.
To sharpen a knife using newspaper, follow these steps:
1. Take the printed edition and fold it in half.
2. Place the newspaper on the table and run the flat side of the knife across the paper as you would for regular sharpening.
3. Continue the procedure for 2-3 minutes, sharpening each side for 1-1.5 minutes.
As a result, the knife blade will become sharp enough, and the tool can again be used for cutting food.
