Miscellaneous (Tips&Tricks)

1. To remove permanent marker ink from any hard surface, spray it with deodorant and rub hard with a soft cloth.
2. Next time you take the hair from your hairbrush, don’t throw it away; sprinkle it over your lawn and the birds will pick it up and use it to reinforce their nests.
3. An easy way to clean your leather bag is to use Nivea on a clean cloth; the result is great.
4. A quick and easy way to stick a tile back on the wall is to mix 1tb.sp flour and 1tb.sp salt to a thick paste with cold water, then secure it back to the wall. It sets hard and saves buying a whole packet of tile fixative.
5. If you have run out of shoe polish, you can clean your leather shoes with cleansing face cream.
6. To bring faded black clothes back to life, hand wash them in warm water with a little vinegar. It strips away the fading properties of washing powder and softener.
7. If your tippex (corrector) dries up, add a little nail varnish remover and it will last a few more days.
