10 Quick Household Problem Solving Tips
Here’s a get-to-the-point list of 10 things that you may have had to deal with at some point and didn’t know what to do. Some of these ideas I came up with myself and others I got from others who have let me in on their tactics.I hope you find them useful.
1. Repair Small Holes in Screen. Plug holes with clear nail polish, let dry, and repeat until filled.
2. Get Water Out Of Your Watch. Strap watch to light bulb, turn on for a few minutes. Water drops will form on crystals. Open up and wipe off.
3. Easily Untie a Knot In A Chain. Cover the knot generously with cold cream.
4. Easily Reduced Ashtray Smell. Keep a small amount of baking soda in ashtrays at all times.
5. Keep Piano Keys Looking New. Keep cover open. Ivory turns dark if exposed to darkness.
6. Caring For Leather Upholstery. Brush with skim milk every three months adding a drop of any essential oils for a nice odour.
7. Repair Scuffed Patent Leather. Cover with same colour polish, let dry, and then cover with clear nail polish.
8. Remove Salt Rings From Shoes. Brush with a solution of vinegar and water.
9. Stop Clothes Catching on Hangers. Put a coat of clear nail polish over splinters and rough edges.
10. Tip on Storing Plastic Curtains or Tablecloths. Sprinkle talcum powder between the layers as you fold.
