You’ve probably noticed how Grandma seems to have a solution for everything around the house. Bring any problem to her, and the solution will be right in her kitchen cupboard. Fortunately, we were given access to some amazing secret tricks that we can use around the house.\n\n\n\n

Figuring out the contents of\u00a0your honey\n\n\n\n

If you are confused about whether your honey contains sugary mixtures, then you can test it using starch. You can probably find starch somewhere in your kitchen cabinet. All you have to do is simply sprinkle a little bit of starch on a spoonful of honey then wait and watch. If the starch sinks into the honey, then this honey contains a higher amount of sugary mixtures. If the starch stays on the surface, then this honey contains a lower amount of sugary mixtures.\n\n\n\n

Removing food odor from hands with tomato sauce\n\n\n\n

If\u00a0you\u2019ve been cooking and cannot get the smell of\u00a0food off your hands then this is\u00a0the solution for you. If\u00a0you have some\u00a0tomato\u00a0sauce or\u00a0juice, rub your hands with it\u00a0and the smell is\u00a0gone. No\u00a0tomato sauce? No\u00a0problem.\u00a0Salt\u00a0is\u00a0also another solution to\u00a0your odor problem.\n\n\n\n

\"\"\n\n\n\n

Making bathtubs sparkle with grapefruits\n\n\n\n

Follow your grandma\u2019s lead and wipe the surface with half a slice of grapefruit for a wonderfully fragrant, gleaming bathtub. The acidic nature of grapefruit and the harsh composition of salt make up a fine scrub for the tub. Just add a little bit of water, and then sprinkle some salt in the bathtub. After that, get half of a grapefruit and use it to scrub the bathtub. When you\u2019re done, use warm water to wash everything away. Do this once every 2 weeks for prime results.\n\n\n\n

\"\"\n\n\n\n

Using vanilla as\u00a0an\u00a0air freshener\n\n\n\n

Ever wondered why grandma\u2019s house always smells so good? Vanilla is the secret here. Douse cotton balls with vanilla and hide them in plants or, more surprisingly, rub or put a few drops of vanilla over a cold light bulb; when you turn on the lights and the light bulb heats up, the vanilla fragrance will spread around the room.\n\n\n\n

Getting gum out of\u00a0hair using peanut butter\n\n\n\n

Say goodbye to the days when you had to get a very short \u201cemergency\u201d haircut because you had gum stuck to your hair. Instead, rub some peanut butter on the gum and wait for a few minutes. The oily composition of peanut butter will make the gum come right off. After that, you can rinse your hair normally.\n\n\n\n

\"\"\n\n\n\n

 Reviving your flowers with mouthwash\n\n\n\n

Fill your vase with 4 pints of clean water and stir in a tablespoon of mouthwash. Use clean cutting scissors to cut the flowers in a slanted position, then insert your freshly cut flowers in the vase. To avoid bacterial spread, be sure to use clean cutting scissors. The mouthwash aids in the killing of germs that speed up flower decomposition. As a result, your flowers will last longer.\n\n\n\n

\"\"\n\n\n\n

Cleaning bottles with sand and water\n\n\n\n

The insides of bottles, which are typically difficult to clean, can be rinsed out using a mixture of sand and water. The rough mixture will clear up all those hard-to-reach places after some vigorous shaking. Just make sure to rinse the bottle with water and let it air dry afterward.\n\n\n\n

\"\"\n\n\n\n

Eliminating bad smells with peanut butter\n\n\n\n

Frying pans and the entire kitchen usually smell awful after frying something like fish. A\u00a0simple solution is\u00a0using\u00a0peanut butter\u00a0to\u00a0eradicate the smell. Cook the peanut butter for one or\u00a02\u00a0minutes on\u00a0high heat. The bad smell will be\u00a0quickly absorbed by\u00a0the peanut butter. It\u00a0will also disperse the more pleasant peanut butter scent around your home.\n\n\n\n

Removing rust from knives using onions\n\n\n\n

Onions are excellent for eliminating rust from knives since they are acidic. All you have to do is rub your knives with onions or just chop through an onion in a sawing motion with your knife. They\u2019ll be rust-free in no time.\n\n\n\n

Removing ink stains on\u00a0white shirts using tartar\n\n\n\n

You don\u2019t have to spend a fortune on expensive stain removers to remove ink stains. According to wise grandmothers, most stains can be removed using common home items that you probably already have on hand. To remove ink from a white shirt, wet the fabric with cold water and apply a paste of cream of tartar and salt before washing. The chemical property of tartar and salt will remove the ink from the shirt.\n\n\n\n

\"\"\n\n\n\n

Keeping fabric from losing its color using salt\n\n\n\n

Most kitchens have salt, but it can also be utilized in the laundry room too. Give your colorful clothes a dose of salt to keep them from fading in color during the wash. The salt aids in the absorption of the color into the fabric, protecting it from fading. To obtain the most benefits from salt, use it both before and during your wash.\n\n\n\n
