Today we can safely say that the mass transformation into "homemade" is in the past. Today it is much easier to buy something new than to repair or fix the old one. However, our blog is for those who want to get more, if possible for less money and with less harm to the old planet. That's why I thought it would be a good idea to collect some tips from Soviet, Russian and American magazines of the past years.
Despite the fact that winter is receding in our latitudes, the council can useful in summer and not only on the street. Americans write about the unusual use of potatoes — it turns out that they can be used instead of liquid from fogging. That is, if you wash and cut a potato, you can rub the glass or mirror in the bathroom with it, leave it to dry, and voila — for a while you are insured against fogging. Check it out.
On the other hand, our "Science and Life" writes that traces of a ballpoint pen can be removed using hairspray. It is necessary to spray the varnish over the stain, rub it thoroughly with soap, rinse it in cold water, and then send it to the laundry. Interestingly, modern "smart" powders cope with the paste themselves?
In addition, it turns out that when washing windows, it is quite easy to understand from which side you left traces: you just need to use vertical movements on the one hand, and horizontal movements on the other. Makes sense, doesn't it?
Before the start of the barbecue season, you may need this fact: dried citrus peels are an excellent material for ignition: they contain flammable essential oils. And no liquid is needed for ignition.
Interestingly, it is also easier to untie a tightly tightened knot by powdering it with talcum powder — it will serve as a lubricant.
You can familiarize yourself with the archive of the journal "Science and Life" and "Popular Science", I think you will be surprised what wonderful things people did with their own hands back in the 30s of the last century. They surprise me.
