Buying expensive household chemicals can easily put a dent in the family budget.
If you are racking your brains over how to reduce your expenses, use improvised means - they cope with solving household problems no less effectively.
Mineral water for cutlery
If your stainless steel spoons and forks have become dull and no longer shine, you need mineral water.
Place the clean utensils in a deep bowl and pour mineral water over them – let them soak for at least three hours.
Finally, rinse your forks, spoons and knives with clean water and don't forget to wipe them dry.
Tea bag instead of air freshener
You can make an effective air freshener from the most ordinary tea bag.
Take a tea bag filled with tea leaves, put a few drops of essential oil (orange, lavender, mint, etc.) on it, rub it between your palms and hang it on the door handle leading to the kitchen.
Now, every time you open the door, a pleasant aroma will spread throughout the kitchen.
Newspaper as a replacement for odor absorbers
Instead of throwing away the press you've read, give it a second life.
Old newspapers can be useful for polishing mirrors or glass, drying wet shoes, or wrapping vegetables to extend their shelf life.
The newspaper also effectively eliminates unwanted odors that appear in the refrigerator.
Form dense balls from newspaper pages and put them on the shelves of the refrigerator. They should be removed after a few days, replacing them with new ones - already as a preventive measure.
