September 3, 2008
Everyone can do with some handy tips of the home. Here are some creative home-making ideas for you to give a whirl.
Summer Special
Drop rose petals, orange zest or mint leaves into ice trays before making ice cubes. Use the orange ice cubes to cool orange juice, while the mint ones can be used to flavour lemon-based drinks. Rose petal ice cubes look pretty in cocktails or a clear glass of water.
For skin that itches due to the harsh summer sun, bathe the affected part with water in which carrots have been boiled, to help the skin heal faster.
Store Away
Store garlic pods in the refrigerator for easy peeling.
A few cloves dropped into the sugar jar will keep the ants away.
Preserve ginger – garlic paste by frying both in oil before grinding to a paste.
Cut bitter gourd or karelas in half horizontally and store in the refrigerator to keep them fresh longer.
Cleaning Time
A mixture of tamarind pulp and dishwashing powder gives an undisputed shine to copper and brass items.
Curtains and bedcovers are best ironed when they are still damp from the wash.
Get rid of scratches by applying toothpaste on a piece of cloth and rubbing glassware with it.
Pressing the cap of a soft drink bottle on to the bottom of your bath soap will keep it dry.
Get Healthy
A sudden bout of coughing can be got rid of by chewing cloves.
Get relief for a sudden stomach ace by chewing half a teaspoon of ajwain (carom) with a pinch of black salt. Wash down with water to get rid of the fiery taste.
Gargling with rock salt and water gets rid of ulcers.
To help you sleep better, eat a teaspoon of fried cumin seeds mixed with the pulp of a ripe banana.
Last but not least, get a clean home by sprinkling talcum powder on any oil spills on the floor for easy cleaning.
