A few small and very useful tips for home care that will help you quickly and for a long time to make it clean and comfortable.

2. Pipes without blockages Use salt to clean the drain pipes. Pour it into the pipe and rinse with boiling water.
3. Tanning marks Often, an artificial tanning of the skin causes uneven skin lightening, that is, the presence of spots. To avoid this, you need to use baking soda, a small amount of which is applied to problem areas with a sponge.
4. Clean iron. The soot on the sole of the iron is easily cleaned with a mixture of ammonia and vinegar. Soak a soft cloth in the solution and wipe the iron.
5. Vegetable soup In soups made from fresh vegetables, do not put spices - bay leaves, black pepper and others. It is better to sprinkle the prepared soup with herbs - it is healthier and tastier this way.
6. Hygiene in the kitchen Be sure to process wooden kitchen boards with a solution of water and vinegar. It is necessary to cut food on a perfectly clean surface.
7. Salad with oil. Vegetable oil should be added to the salad only after salt, vinegar, and pepper have been added to it. Remember that salt in oil does not dissolve.

10. Odorless fish When cooking such fish as flounder and cod, an unpleasant specific odor is emitted, which can be eliminated by adding parsley root, celery to the dish. Onions added to the dish will be useful.
11. Flowers in the room Wildflowers will last longer if you add a couple of drops of detergent to the vase. The main thing in this matter is not to overdo it, since the opposite effect is possible.
12. Cleaning to shine. In order to obtain a snow-white bath, it is necessary to prepare a special solution for cleaning it: soda ash (2 tablespoons) + drinking soda (2 tablespoons). Next, rub your bath with this mixture. The bath must be wet. Wait 5 minutes (it is important not to wash off the layer) and apply the following mixture: vinegar (50 g) + bleach (50 g). It remains to wait half an hour and wash off the layers.
13. Snow-white curtains. If the windows in your home are equipped with white synthetic curtains, then after washing during drying, exclude direct sunlight.
14. Clean entrance hallway The floor of the hallway is characterized by rapid staining. To eliminate this undesirable phenomenon, you need to get a shoe stand. As a stand, a tray and cork substrate are perfect. You can buy them at almost any building materials store.
15. Laundry bags They are indispensable when washing delicate fabrics. However, you should not rush to purchase them in the store, since you can make them yourself. A regular duvet cover is suitable for this purpose.
16. Economical cooking. If you decide to treat your relatives and friends with small pasta, then do not strive to cook them until fully cooked. Immediately, as the water boils, throw in the pasta, stir, turn off the gas and be sure to cover with a lid. They will be ready in 10 minutes.
17. TV on site Place your computer monitor and TV in an evenly lit location as needed to optimize brightness and contrast adjustments to a lower level. At the same time, electricity savings will be achieved - up to 5% monthly.
18. Air freshener If you suddenly run out of perfume, then do not rush to throw out the bottle from them. Remove the dispenser, pour ordinary water into the bottle (1/2 the volume of the bottle) and release the wooden sticks there. They will absorb the scented moisture and spread it throughout the home.
