1) The end of smelly ice crushers
If you are lucky enough to have an ice crusher, you have perhaps also noticed the unpleasant odours that it can emit. To solve the problem, put white vinegar into an ice cube tray, freeze it and crush these cubes in the ice crusher.
2) Remove stubborn traces of burn from a dish
A little water, a few drops of washing up liquid and a ball of clean tin foil to scrub will remove any type of sticky residue.
3) Use bicarbonate of soda to restore silver and have it as good as new
Start by cleaning with a little soapy water. Place your silverware into a container covered with tin foil, filled with a solution of 1 dessertspoon of bicarbonate of soda per litre of water. Leave to work for five minutes before draining the water without burning yourself, and rinse.
4) Clean a ceiling fan
Rather than having dust fall everywhere, place an old pillowcase over the blade, press it on to the blade and remove it. The dust will gather in the pillow case, without going all over the floor.
5) The best way to remove residue from the shower walls
Use a used dryer sheet. Add a little water and scrub -it will almost be too easy.
