Is there anyone like me, who likes to brush all kinds of home VLOGs, and every time I finish reading, I have to be planted by beautiful bloggers with a bunch of exquisite daily necessities.
But I gradually realized that buying these same styles did not make my life more refined, but increased my time for housework. Now I'm starting to "fool around with housework", I don't rush to buy anything I don't need, and I look around and make do with the things that are handy around me.
This improvisation, I actually found that the original inconspicuous tool, another way to use, the effect is amazing! I'm sure that less than 1% of these 10 things in your house have been developed, and they have even been idle!
1. The garment steamer cleans the grease
The vertical garment steamer for home use, through a duct, sprays high-temperature steam to iron clothes, which will not burn the clothes, and is safer than the traditional iron.
When I bought it, I thought it was beautiful, and I used it to iron my clothes every day and then wear them to work, and my self-image management ability UP! But the reality is that it is not used a few times a year, it is in a semi-idle state, and it still occupies a place at home.
When I was trying to find a way to clean up the heavy oil stains in the kitchen, it suddenly occurred to me that the kitchen steam cleaner is the same as the garment steamer, so why not use the garment steamer to try it!
Just do it, put the steam head on a rag and secure it with a rubber band, and a homemade steam cleaner is done! After the high-temperature steam dissolves, all the grease flows out, and the rag is wiped clean, and there is no need to spray detergent.
The range hood before cleaning is full of oil stains, which has blocked the smoking hole and affects the use effect.
After high-temperature steam degreasing and sterilization, the range hood has a new look!
The transformation of the garment steamer into a cleaning machine not only saved me a sum of money, but also made use of idle items, fortunately I didn't have 50 yuan to sell Xianyu!
2. Squeeze the sauce bottle hair mask
The invention of the squeezing sauce bottle is really too practical, buy a large amount of sauce bottles, use it to divide just right, strong sealing, and can control the amount. My stir-fried vegetable oil, tomato sauce, honey, and salad dressing are all packed into a sauce bottle, which is light and convenient to use.
Recently, I discovered a new feature – a hair mask! Because the outer packaging of some hair masks is not press-type, but canned, it is really troublesome to use.
When taking a bath, my hands are slippery, and I have to unscrew it hard, pick a piece of hair mask, wipe my head, and then work with both hands to screw it on, for fear that I will accidentally drop it on the ground and it will be wasted.
Moreover, its paste is also easy to remain in the nails, especially when doing long manicures, it is very painful. Even, every time I dig inside, I will splash some water into it, but it will not be clean, and I feel that it is full of bacteria after a long time.
Now I have learned to use the squeeze sauce bottle, first pour all the hair mask into the plastic bag, cut a hole, similar to a piping bag, and move it to the squeeze sauce bottle, so that I feel less tired from washing my hair.
3. The splash-proof oil net is used as a steamer
The splash-proof oil net under the well-known brand, I also followed the trend to rectify one, you say it is completely useless, but it is not, when doing frying, it can be used to prevent scalding, and cleaning oil stains can also be reduced by half.
But it is not often fried at home, and it is not used for stir-frying, so it is idle most of the time. But recently, I found out that it also has the function of a steamer, such as stewing, when stewing meat, you can also steam two steamed buns on it to eat.
But be careful that the lid and the pot are aligned, otherwise the steam will run away and the heat will be slow.
4. The garbage bag storage box is used as handkerchief paper storage
I used to complain to my mother that I didn't use the sturdy garbage bags I bought, but I had to use the plastic bags I brought back from grocery shopping, which were very ugly stuffed in the cracks of the kitchen, and the slightly heavier garbage would be broken.
Well, when I was in charge of my own house, not only did I store the plastic bag for groceries, but I also bought a storage box for it to try to make it look neater.
After using it, I found that the storage box was still too lifted, and I had to fold it neatly for him, otherwise he couldn't pull it out, or several of them came out, or the cracks of the cabinet were easy to use, and it was more convenient.
I thought of a new way to use this idle garbage box, storing handkerchief paper, a bit like a supermarket shelf, taking a pack and moving it down a pack, which is convenient and interesting.
5. Insert chopsticks into the yam and peel the skin
Yam has high nutritional value, but it is still a little troublesome to handle, and it must be operated with gloves, otherwise the mucus that touches it is very itchy.
If there are no gloves available, I have a unique cheat, use chopsticks to poke directly into the yam and peel it, so that my fingers will not touch the yam, and I will not be allergic, and I will share this little skill with everyone~
6. Use diaphragm pads during menstrual period
Even a Chinese woman like an eagle will become weak and tired during the menstrual period, carrying her aunt day and night in pain, and sleeping has to take care of not leaking and soiling the bed...
If there are sisters who can't wear aunt pants and don't like to use cotton strips, then I suggest directly laying this kind of adult diaper pad, which is large, breathable, and comfortable on the surface cotton, and no longer has to repeatedly scrub the blood stains on sofa towels and bed sheets.
7. Hand punching drill with cleaning head
Many people will be equipped with a set of toolboxes when decorating, but then they will be idle, especially the hand-punched drill inside, which is quite expensive, and it is more wasteful if it is purely idle.
In fact, there is a cleaning brush specially equipped with a hand drill on the PDD, so that your idle electric drill can become an electric cleaning brush in seconds, which is particularly labor-saving to use.
Cleaning brushes of different sizes can be used in various sanitary corners of the home, large head to brush tiles, small head to brush stove gaps.
Even the hard-to-brush wood grain bricks can be cleaned very clean, no wonder the sales on Amazon are extremely high.
8. Express bags are made into garbage bags
Who still puts trash cans in every room of the house?
Please replace the trash cans that take up space and are prone to bacteria directly into disposable garbage bags, such as ziplock bags for courier delivery, with their own adhesive backing, which is too suitable to replace trash cans!
It can be glued everywhere, especially in the bathroom, the adhesive is glued to the wall, the waste paper toilet that is usually used is flushed out, and the waste sanitary products that cannot be washed away during the menstrual period are put into the express bag.
The garbage bag on the wall does not fall to the ground, does not get wet, and the change of clothes is diligent, the key is that you can buy a hundred and ten for a few dollars!
9. The plug hook is used for storage
The hooks that were originally used to store the charging cable plug are a dozen when you buy them, and if you leave them idle at home, it's a pity. Originally, it could be used as a universal hook, which could be used directly for storage, and it was super convenient to hang all kinds of small things.
Glued to the inside of the kitchen cabinet door, hanging detergent, you can also let the folding small bench on the wall, do not take up space and do not get in the way, and the glue is very firm.
10. Stick the wig sticker as an anti-walking sticker
In summer, there are many clothes with large necklines that are easy to walk away, and it is necessary to prevent them from walking away, but there are many sticky stickers that are not enough, and we can still use wig stickers ~
The workmanship of the wig sticker is very demanding, it should be sweat-proof and oil-proof, it is very suitable for being used as a light sticker, and even the effect is better, the sweat will not warp, the viscosity is enough and it will not leave glue when it is torn off from the clothes after use, and it will be recommended after use!
Seriously, the current classification of daily necessities is too detailed, and everyone is telling you that it is not okay to do without it, but this is all the seventy-two changes of "consumerism", of which 60% are not necessities, and most of the remaining 40% are repeated by changing the shell.
If we don't want to spend too much time on housework, developing other features of the tools we already have and reducing material desires is the best way to do it.
