She had always felt that the Internet had an answer for everything.
There seemed to be no end of handy tips and tricks. There’s using bicarb soda as a carpet deodorant, storing skeins of yarn, using a toothbrush to clean tiles, drawing chalk lines to prevent ants entering the house, removing stubborn stickers, using a brush in your drill, freshening smelly trainers, removing marks from white plates, having a bunch of mint in a room to deter flies, cleaning a sink, using white vinegar as a disinfectant, soaking white socks in salted water before washing them, making a sink tap extender, using vinegar to remove rust, following a safe way of drying wet shoes, putting a crushed aspirin in water to remove sweat stains, storing spools of ribbon, using a blow dryer to remove labels, chopping onions under an exhaust fan, preventing rust stains on can bottoms, organising measuring cups, freshening vacuum flasks, using a shoe storage hanger for odds and ends, all pretty clever stuff!
There’s using hair conditioner to shave legs, cleaning Ugg boots, filling piping bags when frosting, washing plastic toys, sharpening blunt scissors, preventing a zipper from slipping down, keeping avocados fresh, cleaning dull glassware, microwaving dried food with a glass of water, using turpentine to deter cockroaches, quickly chilling wine, removing crayon marks from walls, using foil to preserve bananas, and if that wasn’t enough, there’s even advice on burglar-proofing doors and windows with wooden wedges!
