Don’t Go Inside If You See a Red Cup Under Toilet Seat

Don’t Go Inside If You See a Red Cup Under Toilet Seat

Moving objects through a door when it keeps closing is super annoying. So instead, tie a rubber band around the handle on each side of the door so that it crosses over the latch. The latch then won’t be able to pop out, and the door won’t lock shut. To check whether your bedsheets are fully dried, take a mirror and place it underneath. Leave it there for around 5 minutes and if it steams up, it means the sheets are still damp. A damp bed can be a breeding ground for mold and other nasty fungi.

Hotel star ratings aren’t always reliable as the rating systems vary between countries. In Italy, for example, a hotel can be given 5 stars just for having a 24-hour reception desk, receptionists that speak 3 languages. Instead of using stars, look at ratings or reviews instead. Booking late can also get you the best deals. If your stay is not urgent, try booking a room on the day of the stay. If the hotel isn’t full, you’ll likely get a discount. Hotel managers reduce room rates last minute to fill them.

Rub Your Windshield With an Apple, See What Happens

Rub Your Windshield With an Apple, See What Happens

Is your windshield wiper not working so great? Or maybe the rain doesn’t run off the glass efficiently? Cut an apple in half and rub it over the windshield. Then, watch the apple work its magic. Water will slide off the glass with ease. This works because the “malic dissolvent” has nanoscopic scales with self-cleaning abilities. Those scales effectively bounce the water off on a microscopic level. It’s called the “lotus effect” after the lotus leaf which has the same chemical properties as an apple. It’s also great at cleaning off splattered bugs, dirt, and debris.

Some people think that in order to remove plaque from their teeth, they need to brush really hard. However, this is far from the truth since plaque is so soft, you could remove it with a piece of cloth. The reason you need a toothbrush is simply because a cloth can’t reach all the corners of your mouth. So it’s not tons of pressure you need, but rather, a thorough brushing everywhere around your mouth.
