Sweaty shoes can smell bad. Place some baking soda in your old socks overnight to absorb odours. And don’t forget to air out your shoe rack weekly.
That foul smell from kitchen? Check the sink drain. It is often rotting food and grease. But you can always fix it by mixing baking soda and salt in hot water. Do it once every week.
Hanging towel behind the door? That’s a mini fungus farm. Fix it using this simple tip: sun dry your towels every day or wash it after every 2-3 use.
How to dry a soaked wallet at home: If your wallet gets wet, here is a simple way to dry it without damaging its shape. Use a soft cloth to soak up as much water as possible. Place two cards inside to help maintain its shape. Add a little rice inside — it absorbs moisture. Keep the wallet closed while drying so it doesn’t lose shape. If you can, place it in the sun; if not, leave it in a dry spot for 4-5 hours. Avoid using a hair dryer as it can damage the material. This method keeps your wallet dry, intact, and looking as good as before.
