Life Hacks!!!

Anybody and everybody knows that sometimes, it is way better to use grandma’s recipes over a modern one, or use tips from old wives tale than actual instructions. We call these life hacks. Anything that will make our lives easier without much ado can be included in the handbook of life hacks.

Team ItemMom has tried and tested each of these in due course of their lives and found them to be handy. Here is a small list of #lifehacks for your eyes only!

Unclogging a drain

Our very own tried & tested formula and works like a miracle. Coke/ Pepsi are terrific clog cleaning agents. Allow the bottle (2l) of Pepsi/coke to sit in room temperature for about an hour or so and then pour it down the drain. Let it be for an hour or so to fizz out completely; then run some warm water. This will unclog the drains completely.

Cleaning taps

Over a period of time taps start looking dirty due to the water stains. Instead of using chemicals to shine the taps, cut a lemon in half and scrub the stains. You will have a naturally clean tap at your service.

Fixing scratched wooden furniture

This is miracle in a bottle.  Mix half a cup of vinegar and half a cup of olive oil. Spray it on the affected wooden furniture and use a thick cloth to rub this mixture on the surface.

Pet pee smell remover

Anyone with a dog in the house knows, even though the furry baby is an apple of the eye, their pee soaked smell is not very nice. Add quarter cap of Listerine with some warm water and sweep the peed area. The smell will vanish. This works due to the alcohol content in Listerine.
