Tissues are not just for wiping your nose. There are many clever ways to use them to make your daily life easier. Here are 5 simple life hacks you should try:
1. Keep Your Shoes Fresh
If your shoes have a bad smell, don’t worry! Take a piece of tissue, spray it with a little perfume or add a few drops of essential oil, and put it inside your shoes overnight. The tissue will soak up the moisture and leave your shoes smelling fresh by morning.
2. Prevent Jewelry from Tangling
When traveling, your necklaces often get tangled. To stop this, lay your jewelry on a sheet of tissue paper and roll it up carefully. The soft texture of the tissue protects the metal and keeps the chains separated so they won’t knot.
3. DIY Phone Stand
Need to watch a video but don’t have a phone holder? You can use an empty toilet paper roll! Cut a small slit in the middle of the cardboard tube, and you can slide your phone into it. It’s a quick and free way to prop up your phone.
4. Keep Your Veggies Fresh
Vegetables in the fridge often get mushy because of extra moisture. To make them last longer, place a dry paper towel or tissue inside the bag or container with your greens. The tissue will absorb the extra water, keeping your vegetables crisp and fresh for more days.
5. Clean Electronics Gently
Screens on phones and laptops are very sensitive. To clean them without scratching, use a very soft facial tissue. If there is a stubborn stain, slightly dampen the tissue with a tiny bit of water. It’s much safer than using a rough cloth or a towel.
