Remarkable warm/hot water hacks you should know

In a fast-paced life, we are always on a lookout for hacks that can make our routine easier, faster and fuss-free. Internet comes as a quick rescue with a plethora of information served right at a click of a button! Yet, with all the platforms available, we always have a keen eye for the most doable solution possible for everything. In conjunction with this, I thought to touch upon the topic of water today. However, majorly it is a no brainer, but here I’m going to share some very important uses of warm/hot water. 

 

Isn’t it amazing that boiling water can turn eggs hard whereas the same water can make potatoes soft! That’s the magic warm water holds. It just depends on the way you wish to use it. Not just this but if you read through the Ayurvedic principles, consuming warm water balances the internal doshas in the body. It also aids in smoother digestion in contrast to cold water. This is just a small part of its giveaways. There are so many other ways which we already know and practice day in and day out. Nonetheless, I am going to highlight some of the most distinctive methods, where you can use warm/hot water to tap different fronts and make your life an easy one. 

 

Daily hacks

• Warm water can easily be used to tackle these issues – removing stuck price label/tags off store bought products (except plastic as it might melt!), taking out stuck/jammed glass container covers, removing red wine stains and removing stubborn dirt stuck on refrigerator shelves. Just wash these areas with warm water and you’ll be sorted!

• Apart from these, if you wish to smoothly slice butter, cheese cube, cottage cheese, etc., just wash the knife once with hot water and use. 

 

Kitchen is the heart of every home

• Wipe kitchen counters with a mixture of 1 teaspoon ammonia and warm water to bring on extra shine. The oiliness too will disappear! 

• Wipe kitchen surfaces with hot water and say goodbye to unpleasant odours.
