Grannies Tips and Hints

Try some of these ideas to solve your daily tasks without spending a dime. Pass on these favourite hints & tips for cleaning to your friends or add your own below.

Participate!

Grease Stains

If you get a grease stain on a garment, put corn flour on the stain until the flour dries, and rub vigorously with a brush dampened with white vinegar. Then wash in the usual way.

Cleaning China

It is normal that white china that is not used for some time the white finish becomes darkened. To solve the problem so that it is totally pristine white again, leave it in a basin full with hot water with some bleach. After a while, wash it as usual and it is impeccable again.

Impeccably Clean  Toilets & Bathrooms

To eliminate lime scale in the toilet, bath, or sink of the bathroom, use a piece of cotton wool soaked in lemon juice. It is most effective with little or no effort.

Golden Crispy Fried Fish

Your fish will be perfectly fried if you put it in a little milk before flouring it. Also, put it into the pan when the oil is very hot, but not smoking. You will love the crispy coating.

Soothe Tired Feet

To relax your feet and ease tiredness boil a 100g bunch of mint, strain the mint from the water and put the liquid in a basin of cold water. Soak your feet for 10 minutes. Enjoy.

Brilliant Windows and Mirrors

The windows and mirrors will be perfectly clean and shiny if you use water and ammonia to clean them. But also, don’t forget to dry them with kitchen paper. They will be brilliant.

Cleaning Leather Shoes

Have you ever been left without cream for your leather shoes? Don’t worry; in an emergency you can use moisturizing hand cream. Besides leaving the shoes perfectly clean, you will be moisturizing your hands.

Sweeten Sour Oranges

After buying oranges you find to be a bit sour for your taste. Cut them in quarters and toss them in a little salt. Although you wont believe this. Doing this will remove the acidity that is so unpleasant and they won’t taste salty.

Juicier Lemons

For juicer lemons before squeezing them, put them some minutes in hot water or in a preheated warm oven. You will get more juice than you can ever imagine

Apples Saviour

When you eat outside and don’t have a toothbrush, request a dessert apple for your sweet. This helps to digest your food, it cleans and disinfects the mouth and, also, you will have you a very fresh one.

Overcome Headache

Boil up some water add peeled cucumber slices and a tea bag of camomile tea, when cool, drink in small sips. It will calm the pain.

Clean Dull Jewellery

If you want to recover the shine of jewellery that has become dull, you don’t have to do more than get a soft toothbrush, and gently brush with some toothpaste. Rinse it with hot water and dry it well. The result is astonishing

About Me

Like many people, I spend plenty of time reading online, learning, enjoying, conversing, and interacting with others. In my case I probably spend more time than most people because it is part of my livelihood. In my daily routine I work with other businesses to help them formulate, deploy and measure online marketing campaigns. When afforded spare time I like to play in the garden, cook, research topics and publish my findings here on Virtuowl.com.
