Brilliant! These ingenious household tricks are already over 100 years old
Nowadays, while we google budget tips quite simply, practical advice has been handed down from generation to generation in earlier times. Or - Attention - shown on cigarette packs! The British brand of cigarettes Gallaher has in 1910 considered a brilliant advertising campaign, of which we still benefit today.
Cook open eggs
A torn egg does not have to be thrown away. If you add a little vinegar to the boiling water, the inside can not leak.
Light a match in the wind
If you scratch a small piece of wood with a knife, the match can catch fire much better when lit. And it also has a chance in the wind.
Clean the bottle
Getting a bottle clean can be really annoying. In the smallest corners you often do not even get with a brush. With a little bit of sand and water in the bottle, it can be shaken, rinsed out and then dried - and it is bright as a flash.
Remove splinters
Having a splinter or splint in the skin is not only unpleasant but it also takes a while to tug it out with tweezers or the like. A small vial with a slightly wider opening can be filled to the brim with hot water and pressed to the appropriate place. As a result, your skin is sucked down and the water vapor dissolves the splinter painlessly.
Keep vermin away from garbage
Just a little bit of soda (2-3 teaspoons are enough) in the barrel and already the annoying flies provide you no more visit.
Carry a water pot properly
Whether a pitcher, the measure at the Oktoberfest or otherwise a heavy pot: Use your thumb to protect your joint.
Cut the bread into symmetrical slices
No bread machine at home? Then you can change the knife into hot water. The heat makes cutting much easier.
Put a candle in the candle holder
Your candles do not fit in the new candlestick? No problem: heat one end of the candle in hot water so that it softens and simply put it in the stand.
Make cut flowers last longer
For this, the flower is placed in warm water and this should then cool. Then cut off a piece of the stalk and put the flower back in cold water.
Separate lined glasses
This happens to me constantly! From now on you should place the lower glass in hot water and fill the upper with cold water. And they can be separated after a short time without splinters or a lot of effort. Mega cool!
