No one doubts that the refrigerator is one of the most indispensable things for the household, but few know that it can be used not only for storing food. In fact, the refrigerator can help in solving many domestic issues.
Extending the life of wax candles
If the candle is kept for at least two hours in the freezer before lighting, then it will burn much longer. Already used, but not completely burned out candles can be brought into a “salable” condition if you put them in the freezer for several hours. After that, the melted wax can easily be removed from them and the candle will look completely new.
Separate sticky photos
Very often, people keep such a large archive of photos that it does not fit into their albums, so you have to put them in packs in boxes. Sometimes, with such storage, the photos stick together, and when you try to tear them apart with your hands, they deteriorate. To separate the photos was easier, they need to be placed in the freezer for half an hour, and then try to separate one of them with a thin knife. At this point, you should not rush, if the photos are still not separated, you can hold them in the cold for another half hour. By the way, using this method you can also separate other sticky papers, for example, postage stamps.
Saving on Popcorn
Those who at least once cooked popcorn themselves must have seen that there are quite a few unopened grains in the pan. If the popcorn is stored in the freezer and not thawed before cooking, then there will be significantly less unopened grains.
Fight odors
Old books smelling of mold and dust, as well as plastic containers from which the smell of fish does not disappear, can be put in the freezer at night. In the morning there will be no trace of smell. Thus, you can get rid of the unpleasant smell of almost any object that fits in the freezer.
Chewing gum cleaning
Gum sticking to clothing is very difficult to remove, but if you put it in the freezer for several hours, the gum can be easily scraped off with a knife. The remaining stain will simply be enough to clean. In the same way, you can get rid of dripping wax on clothes.
Increase the strength of tights
It is recommended that you keep new tights and stockings for several hours in the freezer so that they are stronger and more resistant to puffs.
Fighting bags and circles under the eyes
To use this tool at any time, two teaspoons should be stored in the freezer. When circles or bags appear under the eyes, it will be enough to get these spoons and press them to your eyes for one minute. Sudden cold will cause fluid outflow and vasoconstriction, so the swelling will disappear.
Increased shelf life and effectiveness of cosmetics
Such cosmetics as creams, lotions, scrubs, tonics, masks, etc. are recommended to be kept in the refrigerator in order to preserve their useful properties for a longer time. If someone else used decorative cosmetics or had to use, for example, lipstick during herpes, then for sterilization you can put it in the freezer for several hours.
Post new shoes
To distribute new shoes or shoes that have become a little cramped, you need to put strong plastic bags inside it, pour water and put it in the freezer. Thus, you can increase the shoes by one, and sometimes two sizes.
