Cotton pad
It is not uncommon for many YouTube channels to post lifestyle tips like the one we are about to unveil, as given the need to save money, users are increasingly interested in this kind of content.
These stratagems make life easier, but above all, they offer smart and cost-free solutions for simple living in every room of the house. In this article, we will discuss oil bottles.
Tricks for use in the home
Whether you are a housewife or just curious about different tricks, saving money at home is essential. Everyone is interested in the subject but does not know that there are practical and clever solutions to avoid waste and indeed, avoid spending money all the time.
Oil
In fact, it is possible to recycle old objects we have at home to make something else. Take, for example, tetrapak cardboard to create breathable insoles for our shoes and keep our feet warm and properly aired in winter, or curlers to prevent clothes from getting ruined after too many machine washes.
The list of tricks is very long, but today we are going to talk about something extremely annoying that will surely have happened to everyone, among other things the protagonist is oil, a condiment whose prices have skyrocketed and therefore avoiding its waste becomes fundamental.
How to avoid wasting oil and getting grease on the bottle
How many times will it have happened to you to pick up your oil bottle and find it greasy? It is something that happens to everyone because inevitably when we handle the packaging of this condiment, our hands become impregnated with the product and this then transfers to everything we touch such as the bottle itself that contains it.
This detail is particularly annoying because whether it is glass, plastic or tin, the oily residue that remains on it makes it difficult to use the product. Fear not, today’s trick reveals just how to avoid this.
We take a cotton pad of the kind used for removing make-up, fold it in half and then in half again, then cut off the central edge. We should now have obtained the shape of a doughnut, so a hole in the centre.
Now all we have to do is insert the wadding disc around the spout of the oil bottle, so that if any residue leaks out, the absorbent material it is made of will catch it, leaving the bottle dry and ready to use.
Periodically we can then change the disc. This method is simple and ingenious, and also inexpensive, just think that a packet of 100 discs is just over 1 euro.
