Every woman has cosmetic cotton pads. They are indispensable when removing makeup. But soft circles can have another area of application. At least ten alternative uses for cotton pads will be suggested right now.
Pet Vinegar
Those who have both pets and favorite plants at home have repeatedly encountered the fact that cats are not averse to eating green leaves. A cotton pad soaked in vinegar will help avoid this. All you have to do is put it in a flower pot. Vinegar will not cause the slightest harm to the plant, but it will definitely scare away a dirty cat with its pungent odor.
Aromatherapy
If you drop a couple of drops of essential oil on cotton wool and place it in a small container near the bathroom mirror, the air will be filled with an indescribable aroma in a matter of seconds.
Plaque removal
As practice shows, traces of dried water always remain on chrome parts of plumbing fixtures. If you moisten a piece of cotton wool with vinegar and wipe the tap with it, the result will exceed all expectations.
Extending the life of a bouquet
It is not always possible to give a bouquet immediately after purchase. Often we have to transport them over long distances. To avoid premature wilting of flowers, it will be enough to soak cotton pads in water, apply them to the cut and wrap them in a plastic bag. The flowers will receive the source of moisture they need and will be delivered to the recipient without any problems.
Removing ink
It's surprising, but if you wet cotton wool with alcohol or solvent (for example, White Spirit), it will easily remove traces of a ballpoint pen from clothes.
Sunburn
If you wet a cotton pad with cold milk, it will soothe the skin with sunburn much more effectively than sour cream or kefir.
Erasing a permanent marker
A cotton pad soaked in milk can cope not only with sunburn. With its help, you can quickly and painlessly remove a drawing drawn with a permanent marker from the skin.
Cleaning the remote control
Using a cotton pad, you can clean the remote control from the TV or any other equipment with buttons. To do this, you only need to wet a piece of cotton wool with an alcohol solution.
Germinating seeds in cotton wool
Cotton wool is also great for germinating seeds. You will need a saucer and two cotton pads. Place one of them on a plate, having previously been generously watered. The seeds are laid out on it. The second pad is also soaked and placed on top. Then the container with the soaked seeds is covered with a plastic bag or covered with cling film. The resulting structure is placed in a warm place for several days. When the seeds hatch, they are transplanted into a pot or open ground.
Relieving itching
By soaking a cotton pad in vinegar, you can relieve itching from a mosquito bite. The most important thing is to apply the cotton pad with it to the affected area immediately after the bite.
Many people believe that cotton pads are only suitable for removing makeup and washing. Practice shows that their scope of use is much wider.
Everything is fine, but germinating seeds on a cotton pad is risky; when the time comes to remove the seeds for planting in the ground, here you risk damaging the delicate roots that have grown into a disc, but there are
An easy way out is to use toilet paper instead of a cotton pad, laid in several layers, even if the roots have sprouted into the paper, it’s not scary, take it out with the paper and plant it in the ground, the roots are not damaged and everything will germinate without loss.
