CAN YOU HACK IT?

We live we learn, so the adage goes. The more you live the more tricks and techniques you gather to make life simpler and better. From removing stubborn stains to picking a lock, life hacks can sometimes leave us asking, ‘Where have you been all my life?’ Pouring salad dressings from the bottle can sometimes be messy. Instead of removing the foil from the oil can, poke holes in it using a fork instead, so that it does not come gushing out as your pour.

We all hate it when our dustbins accumulate food juices at the bottom. To prevent this from happening, place old newspapers at the bottom of the bin to absorb food juices. Another tip for frequent flyers. When traveling, keep a bar of scented soap in the same compartment as your dirty laundry. It will keep your clothes smelling clean. Jamaa Bar Cream smells great, use this simple hack on your clothes.

To check if your batteries are good or bad, drop them on a table from about 5-7 inches, if they bounce once and fall, then they’re good. If they bounce around, then they’re as good as dead. You can also make a pencil holder using toilet rolls. It can be a fun activity for parents and kids. Get the roll from a used tissue roll, glue one of the open ends with round cardboard, and paint it. Kids can use it to place their crayons and coloring pens in it. You can get the used rolls for Neptune, Softleaf, and other tissue brands from Kapa.

In some parts, people actually use Sunflower oil as lotion. Can you believe it? Sunflower oil contains several compounds that are beneficial to the body. When it comes to skincare, the sunflower seed oil is a great source of vitamin E. It’s rich in nutrients and antioxidants and is effective for combatting skincare issues like acne, inflammation, and irritation of the skin. Sunflower oil has properties that help the skin retain its moisture. Before using sunflower oil, please consult your dermatologist.

Baking soda is non-toxic, inexpensive, and effective in cleaning oven grease. It neutralizes acids and breaks down grease, allowing you to wipe it up. Chapa Mandashi not only makes the best mandazis but it can also be used to clean the oven.
