Let’s get down to it right now!
Humidity
If you know the trick of putting your smartphone in a bag of rice to protect it from water damage, you probably know that this really works because the dry rice absorbs the moisture. This is very useful information, because cabinets sometimes also have problems with moisture. Maybe your house is a bit damp, or maybe you put your washed clothes in the wardrobe before they were completely dry. This moisture can make your clothes smell musty. Of course, you also don’t want mold in your wardrobe!
Air Freshener
Since rice absorbs moisture from the room, it also acts as an air freshener. By adding a few drops of essential oil to rice, you will make your wardrobe smell beautiful! There is no need to buy expensive air fresheners or fragrance sachets; you can easily take care of it yourself. At the same time, you also have the opportunity to choose what you like the most and find the perfect fragrance for you.
This is how it is done:
All you need is a glass of rice (preferably white), some essential oil, a bowl, a piece of cloth, and a rubber band. In a bowl, mix rice with 15-20 drops of essential oil. Take a piece of cloth (for example, a piece of old T-shirt) and cover the bowl with it. Then fasten it with an elastic band. Place the bowl in the closet, in a place where children and pets cannot reach it. Your air freshener needs to be replaced after a few months. If you used brown rice, you will need to replace it sooner as brown rice goes bad faster than its white counterpart.
Phone
Not only is rice great as an air freshener, it can also save your phone from getting wet. If you dropped your phone in the toilet or sink, this trick may save it. Dry rice absorbs water from the phone. It is important to keep the phone in a container or bag of rice for at least 48 hours. Also remember to remove the battery and SIM card in advance. You can let them dry on an absorbent cloth. Never use a hair dryer to dry your phone. Hot air is harmful to the device and can allow moisture to be released into other parts of the phone. It will only hurt him more!
Banana
Bananas appear to turn brown in the blink of an eye, and while they’re usually still edible, they don’t look very tasty. Most people throw away brown bananas, but there’s no need to! With this trick, you can turn a brown banana back into a yellow one. Place the banana in a resealable plastic bag and add a few handfuls of rice to it. Close the bag tightly and make sure the banana is surrounded by rice. Leave it there for about one hour. After an hour, take a hair dryer, remove the banana from the rice and blow it with warm air. Watch the magic happen, the banana game turns yellow again!
