Potatoes are a vegetable that appears on Russian tables with enviable frequency.
At the same time, the tuber has the ability to cope with many cleaning tasks.
Let's figure out how to use potatoes for other purposes and make cleaning your apartment easier.
Ways to Use Potatoes
Are you out of window cleaning chemicals at home? Raw potatoes will come to the rescue.
The tuber contains phosphoric acid, which helps clean surfaces. There is nothing complicated about it: just cut the potato in half, wipe the window with it and wipe dry with a rag.
Potatoes work the same way on leather shoes. Rub the leather with the tuber, wait 5 minutes, wipe with a damp cloth - and enjoy the return of the characteristic shine.
Potatoes are great for dealing with tough stains if they are fresh. Spilled coffee or wine, blood stains - water from a potato cut into strips, soaked in liquid for half an hour, will deal with them.
Just pour the solution on the stain, and in half an hour it will noticeably become lighter. All that remains is to remove the residue with a cleaning agent.
