Clean cutting board

After a while, knife marks will appear on the wooden cutting board, the board will darken and will start to smell bad.

Food may remain in the resulting furrows, which is an excellent environment for the growth and spread of pathogenic microorganisms.

Dishwashing liquid can't always cope with such dirt, so you'll need "sandpaper". You need to go over the board with sandpaper and there won't be a trace of microbes left.

Get rid of corrosion

Old tools will eventually develop corrosion. To remove it, you will need sandpaper.

It won't take much time and you won't need any tools. This cleaning method won't harm them in any way.

Cleaning of shoes and clothes

Small stains often appear on suede shoes, which can be easily removed with sandpaper. The same method can be used to remove dirt that may appear on a coat. This will not damage suede or wool clothing.

Unusual sharpener
