Simple fixture for sink blockages

Food leftovers from dirty plates are very unpleasant trash that clogs up the grate in the kitchen sink.

Simple and ingenious cleaning hacks — You have to remove them with your fingers, and at one time it never works

Someone uses a napkin or a piece of newspaper to collect such garbage, but this does not greatly simplify the task.

Some housewives approach the solution of the problem radically: they install it in the sink garbage shredder. But this is a rather expensive device, not everyone can afford it. Meanwhile, the problem can be solved with the help of an ordinary plastic bottle "poltorashka".

Using a hot knitting needle, make several small round holes in the bottom of the bottle.

Cut the bottle so that you get an impromptu dipper with a handle made of the same plastic

Bend the handle of the " ladle" and fix it in this state, heating it with a regular lighter — Bend the handle of the "ladle" and fix it in this state, heating it with a regular lighter

You can now hang this device on kitchen sink.

It remains only to get into the habit of pouring the contents of the plate first into this ladle, and only then put it in the sink. This sump can be easily removed from the sink, you can shake it out in the trash can and then simply rinse with hot water. No more blockages and hands in food waste!

How to quickly and efficiently clean the metal grill of the hood

Fine mesh lattice hoods performs the task of a grease trap. So you have to clean it regularly, and the settled hot fat is tightly coked on the surface of small cells and it is not easy to clean it. Even if you brush it with a powder brush, there is no guarantee that dirt will not remain in the depths of the cells. Meanwhile, the way out is pretty simple. The only thing you will need to find is a suitable container in which your grate will fit. This can be a large basin or a baby bath.

Fill a container with hot water and dissolve a packet of baking soda in it

The hotter the water is, the better.

Dip the wire rack in boiling water and baking soda for half an hour

The fat will dissolve and lag behind the metal. Then simply rinse the mesh and dry it before replacing it.

How to get rid of dirt and odor in the washing machine tray

Powder tray - weak point in washing machines. This is usually the first thing that fails.

The reason is simple: the water does not completely wash off the powder, it remains wet in the tray, clogs it and accumulates over time, turning into a foul-smelling plaque

Use a regular dish sponge: pour some vinegar and baking soda on it

While the reaction is going on, wipe the sides of the tray with a sponge. The plaque will be instantly removed, and the unpleasant odor will disappear.

If you need to clean narrow-necked dishes, the easiest way is to use a brush. But what if he is not at hand?

An ordinary sponge cannot solve such a problem, it will simply fall inside, and you will not be able to do anything.

Make slits in both sides of the sponge and put a small magnet in one and a regular coin in the other.

Hot glue the slots.

Now feel free to tuck a part of the sponge into the dishes and, using the magnetic properties, wipe the walls

In exactly the same way, you can make a sponge for washing windows on high. This is a safe and convenient way.

A quick way to clean the microwave

Microwave - another source of not entirely pleasant smells. One has only a little not to calculate the time or power of processing products - splashes appear on all walls. They dry out instantly and are very difficult to wash.

The only condition is that it must be fresh.

Place the peel in the microwave and turn it on at full power for 3-4 minutes

Citrus essential oils will quickly dissolve all dried dirt, and they can be easily removed with a regular sponge.

All unnecessary odors will disappear immediately and you can use the device immediately.

How to eliminate the need for frequent cleaning of the refrigerator

Modern household refrigerators use noufrost system, which eliminates the need for regular defrosting. But for another common problem, it does not help. Any liquid spilled in the refrigerator immediately spoils the atmosphere in it. Especially dairy products. This smell is very difficult to dispel even after careful washing shelves.

If something is spilled in the refrigerator, it is better to wash the shelf immediately, but there is not always enough time for this.

The solution is surprisingly simple: put a thin cling film on the shelves to pack food

If an emergency occurs, simply remove the film with a light movement and lay a new one. No tedious washing.

In general, cling film will help you out not only in the refrigerator, but also on ordinary shelves. It can also cover the side walls of the stove, which also often gets food escaped from the pan. Such a film in rolls is an indispensable thing in the kitchen.
