Apart from food, bread can be a handy and natural tool for cleaning your home in many ways. (News18 Hindi)
Have you ever thought that the bread you eat every day could also help clean your home? The same bread used in sandwiches, toast, rolls, and even potato bondas can be surprisingly effective in making your home clean and fresh. Here’s how you can use it.
Makes Glass Sparkle
Whether it’s the glass on a window or a photo frame, they often gather dust and stubborn stains. Thanks to its soft texture and starch content, bread can clean glass surfaces effectively. Gently rub a slice of soft bread over the glass; it will pick up dust and remove marks easily.
Broken glass can be dangerous, especially the tiny pieces that are hard to sweep up. In such cases, press a thick slice of bread over the area. The small glass shards will stick to it, keeping your hands safe.
Wipes Away Dust In Minutes
No matter how often you dust, some surfaces still seem dirty. Instead of using a cloth every time, try using bread. It works well on glass tables and wooden furniture, removing both dust and minor stains, and gives you cleaner surfaces in just minutes.
Erases Pencil And Crayon Marks From Walls
If you have children at home, chances are your walls have been turned into art canvases with crayons and pencils. These marks are often hard to remove. But rubbing a slice of fresh bread over them can help lighten or even eliminate the stains. This also works on wallpaper, which can be cleaned gently using bread without causing damage.
Removes Grease from Utensils
Greasy utensils coated with oil or ghee can be a hassle to clean, even after multiple scrubs. Bread is excellent at absorbing oil. Simply rub a slice of bread over the greasy utensil and see the residue lift away. This trick also works if oil gets on your hands or any other surface; rub it with bread, and the grease will be absorbed instantly.
Banishes Bad Smells from the Fridge
Bread doesn’t just clean; it can also absorb odours. If your fridge has a bad smell, place a few drops of essential oil on a slice of stale bread and keep it inside. It will act as a natural air freshener, and your fridge will smell pleasant within hours.
