15 ways to extend the lives of everyday objects and consumables
In our homes, there are many objects, products and consumables that we use regularly and without asking ourselves if we are using them correctly. Do you know that there are some tips that will make our household products last longer? Indeed, we can extend the life of almost any product we can get in a shop.
From tips about hand cream or chocolate spread, to the correct maintenance for a hair dryer, in this article we will show you how to extend the life of some of your possessions and consumables.
1. Hair dryer
To guarantee the maximum performance from a hair dryer, the secret is to make sure you regularly clean the filter located in the back. In fact, with time and use, dust and hair tend to accumulate in the rear filter, gradually reducing performance and ultimately forcing us to replace the hairdryer prematurely. You can clean the filter regularly with the help of a toothbrush.
2. Hand cream
Is your tube of hand cream running low? Before throwing it in the trash, cut the tube in half, then make another cut a few centimeters below this. This way, you can use up all the cream left in the tube. And then you can easily close it by re-fitting the upper half onto the lower part. Brilliant, right?
3. Chocolate spread
If your chocolate spread is finished, you can still use the remains attached to the jar to prepare a tasty chocolate treat! Fill the jar with hot milk, close and shake. Pour the contents into a cup and top it with whipped cream: enjoy your treat!
You can also make a delicious drink with honey residue left in the bottom of an empty honey jar: insert a tea bag into the jar, fill with hot water and leave to infuse. When the tea is ready, remove the teabag and stir. Add lemon or milk to taste and enjoy your honey tea!
4. Perfumed body lotion
How about a body lotion that smells of your favorite perfume? Buy some neutral body lotion, put the last drops of your favorite perfume into the lotion and you're good to go!
