Here comes our protagonist: rice. It is known that rice can absorb moisture thanks to the starch inside, in this way we make sure to eliminate most of the odors in the bathroom.
But this only neutralizes the bad smell, we would need a product that gives us a perfume that lasts over time, such as essential oils . Let’s see how to do it the right way:
In the bathroom, we put a medium-sized container somewhere in the bathroom, usually on top of the backpack, near the lid.
Inside the container we fill it with rice and pour between 20 to 30 drops of essential oil of the aroma you want.
In this way, we make sure to eliminate bad odors and in the process perfume the entire environment.
First of all, you have to keep 2 things in mind: The first is that if your bathroom is large, it is advisable to use between 2 to 3 containers with rice. The second is to change the container once the smell is completely gone.
What other uses can rice be made of?
Save your knives with rice
As time goes by, knives tend to lose their edge. This is due to the use we give it and how we store it.The best way to store them is to make them in a wooden block so that the edge lasts a long time. Now, if we cannot obtain this product, the most convenient thing is to store it in rice.Where we are going to store it, we have to make a bed of rice. We put the knives on the bed and then pour in a little more rice. And that’s how easy it is to take care of the edge of our knife!
Rice to save your phone
You’ve probably heard this method before, since it became famous all over the world. If your cell phone falls into the water and we react quickly, it is possible to save it. What you are going to do is:
With a cloth we remove all the water from the cell phone.
We put the cell phone in a large container, being very careful not to press its buttons.
We wait about 12 hours and remove the SIM card and the battery (if the battery cannot be removed, it is best not to insist).
We leave another 12 hours.
After time, we remove the cell phone from the container and check if it works.
This trick works most of the time, but you have to act quickly so that moisture does not go inside the cell phone. Once it works, we have to go to a professional to have a good look at it.
Eliminate musty smell from your closet
As we said earlier, rice can absorb moisture. To remove musty smell from your closet, do the following:
In a cloth bag, we put a lot of rice and close it with a piece of thread.
We put this bag between the clothes.
If we put it in a high place, much better.
Change this bag every 3 weeks.
And just like that, rice can solve some everyday problems!
