Have you, dear readers, been using just one single cutting board in your kitchen for cutting meat, fish, and vegetables alike? Are you tired of fruits getting infested with fruit flies? Are you fed up with ants constantly swarming your food?
I'd like to share some great tips with you that will help solve these problems.
Why you should use separate cutting boards
You should keep a separate cutting board for meat and a separate one for vegetables. In addition, you should use a plastic cutting board for cutting meat and fish, and a wooden cutting board for vegetables.
After cutting meat, bacteria from the meat can remain stuck in the grooves of the wood, and if you use the same board to cut vegetables afterward, it can harm your health.
How to keep fruit flies away from fruits
Put a banana peel into a glass. Then, fold a piece of paper into a cone shape and place it into the glass. This way, the fruit flies will automatically get trapped between the glass and the paper.
When you want to strip vegetable leaves in seconds
Insert the vegetable stem, root end first, through a hole in a grater or grating board. Then, pull the stem out through the other side, and the leaves will be stripped off easily.
When faucets are dirty
Put a small amount of toothpaste on your hand and rub it onto the faucet. After a few minutes, wipe it off with a cloth, and the faucet will become clean and shiny.
Should you throw away rusty pots and dishes?
Don't throw them away — there's a great method to remove the rust and make them shine like new.
Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil. Then add a sheet of aluminum foil. Add the rusty spoon. Add baking soda and bring it to a boil.
Afterward, when you take out the rusty spoon, you'll see that it's completely free of rust and looks like new.
To get rid of ants
Pour about 1 tablespoon of honey near where the ants are gathering. Then sprinkle in some baking powder and mix well until blended. This will give you a natural ant trap.
