Hello, dear readers!

In today's section of DIY I will tell you about unusual uses of Borax (household cleaning chemical), it has low toxicity and is considered safe for general household use. But be careful with Borax because it can be dangerous for children and pets. So keep it out of their reach.



Clean clogged drain
Use a funnel to shake down the drain 100 g of borax and then slowly pour 400 ml of hot water. Leave the mixture for about 15 minutes then rinse it with hot water. Repeat the procedure with the stubborn blockages.

Clean windows and mirrors
If you want your mirrors or windows clean you should try cleaning them with the clean sponge soaked in 2 tablespoons of borax dissolved in 600 ml of water.

Rub away the strong stains on the sink
Create a paste of 200 g of borax and 50 ml of lemon juice. Apply some paste on a cloth or a sponge and put/rub it on a stain, then rinse it with warm tap water.

Clean toilet
Scrub the toilet with a stiff brush with a solution of 100 g of borax to 4 liters of water. This is a good way to clean your toilet without having to worry about dangerous and unpleasant fumes.

Disinfect grinder for organic waste
In order to maintain more hygienic grinder pour 3 tbsp of borax into the drain every two weeks and leave it for one hour. Then turn the grinder and rinse it with hot water from the tap.



We came to an end of today's section of unusual uses. I hoped you like the uses of Borax. And remember to keep it out of children's reach and have a great weekend.

Hello, dear readers!

Today I will show you 5 ways to use duct tape. Because this tape is strong it's very useful in everyday life. And every household has, at least, one.




1. Remove animal hair from clothes
To remove animal hair, you need to wrap duct tape around your palm with the sticky side out. Roll the tape on your garment and do not try to wipe it, because it may damage the fabric.





2. Adjust hose of the vacuum cleaner
If the hose of the vacuum cleaner is cracked and there is air coming out, just wrap the tape around the hose and it will work  for some time.





3. Additional isolation
To make your winter boots a little bit warmer, you need to inputs that are in the boots pasted with tape so that the silver side is facing up.






4. Catch flies and other insects
When you go on a holiday in a cottage by the lake and all around you are insects. Then take some duct tape and cut 30cm (11,8 inch) strips, then hang them on the ceiling as flytraps. When the tape is full just throw it away.





5. Reseal bags with snacks
Fold the top edge of the bag and seal it with a piece of duct tape so that way the snack will not lose its flavor.

So we came to an end of today's 5 unusual uses. I hoped that you liked it and find it helpful. See you next week on unusual uses.

Hello, dear readers!
As we all know hair conditioner is used in the shower for our hair. But that's not the only use for hair conditioner. These 5 unusual uses are proof that anything in our homes can be used for something else.




1. Removal of your make-up:



Why would you use expensive brands of makeup removal when you have the perfect one at home. Just put a tiny amount of hair conditioner on your cosmetic pads and there you go.




2. Protect your shoes in bad weather:



To prevent accumulation of salt and other chemicals to your winter footwear, then apply some hair conditioner and so they are protected. Hair conditioner is not good just for hair but also for leather.




3. Prevent rusting tools:



Just apply hair conditioner on your tool and you will prevent the rust.




4. Clean silk clothing:



Fill the sink with water (hot water for white laundry and cold water for colored laundry). Then add a tablespoon of hair conditioner. Put the shirt into the water and leave it there for a few minutes. Then take it out, rinse and hang to dry. Balm will keep the silky smoothness like feeling.




5. Lubricate the zipper:



If the zipper on the jacket can't be closed easily then just put some conditioner on the teeth of the zipper and the next time you want to close the zipper you will have no more troubles.


I hoped you learned some new tricks for your clothes or shoes or even tools. These way you will not have to buy anything new and you will save money. Share, comment and follow and have a great weekend ;)

Hello, dear readers!

Today I will show you how you can use car wax. These 5 uses are unusual but it will help in any situation. You don't have to buy expensive stuff but you can use whatever you have already in your house:)


1. Prevent fogging of the mirrors in the bathrooms:
On mirror apply a small amount of car wax, let it dry and clear the mirror with a soft cloth. Car wax can also be applied to other surfaces in the bathroom to avoid the formation of water spots.


2. Remove the mold from the bathroom: 
First clean tiles and walls in the shower to remove traces of soap and water. Then apply a coat of car wax and rub it with a clean and dry cloth. You will apply wax only once a year. Don't wax the baths because it can became dangerously slippery.


3. Avoid gripping snow on the shovel: 
Apply two thick layers of car wax to shovel before you start to work. Snow will not grip on the shovel and work will be much easier.


4. Remove stains on the furniture: 
If you have a wooden table and the glass left a white ring for a mark and plain wax doesn't help, try a little car wax. Put the car wax on your finger and apply it to the ring, then leave it to dry and along the grain with a soft cloth.


5. Avoid skipping CDs:
If you have a damaged CD don't throw it away. On a flat surface extend a soft cloth and place the CD on it with the damaged side up. Then with one hand hold the CD and with other hand with a soft cloth apply the wax on the damaged spots. Wait for it to dry and then polish with short quick strokes along the scratch, not over it. When you don't see the scratches anymore wash CD with water and let it dry. The best cloth to use is the one which is used for cleaning glasses or photographic lenses.


I hope these 5 uses will be helpful. I always want to know more about of unusual uses of everyday things. So if you know any more uses of car wax that I didn't write please let me now ;)
