Tips for the hostess: how to create comfort in the house

I dropped my mobile phone into a puddle, it began to work poorly. What to do?

Disassemble the device. Wipe the battery, SIM card and all removable panels with alcohol and then with a dry cloth. Place on a cloth to evaporate any remaining moisture at room temperature. Blow out the phone with a hairdryer, turning on the cold air. Then treat the apparatus with alcohol. Wipe with a smooth cloth to prevent lint from getting caught in small joints. Then wrap the tube in one layer of fine cotton or two layers of gauze. Pour rice, semolina, salt on the bottom of the container, put the phone in the container and add the cereal to the top so that the device is completely hidden by the cereal. Close the box with a lid and leave for a day.

The smell from the washing machine started to smell. What to do?

Check the filter of the drain pump, all the dirt passes through it – threads, candy wrappers. And when there is a lot of garbage, it starts to rot and smell. The filter is located, as a rule, in the lower front part of the case, behind that very small door. It is not difficult to take it out. Clean the filter and wash with detergent powder with a soft toothbrush under warm running water. Dry and put back. Also, the reason for the smell can be high humidity in the drum of the machine. Always wipe it dry with a soft cloth after washing and leave it open for a couple of hours. Do not close the door completely, air must circulate in the machine. If the fungus is already there, pour citric acid into the powder compartment and wash it dry in the boil mode. If you have tried everything, and it smells from the machine, the hose may be clogged, but here you cannot do without a master.

Sometimes we don’t have time to eat the cheese, and it grows moldy and dries up. Can I use it somehow?

It all depends on the variety. If a white or greenish coating appears on hard cheese, then cut it off and use the product for cooking dishes with heat treatment – in pizza, sauces, meatballs. If the cheese just dried up, it can be restored. Cut the product into small pieces, fill with pasteurized milk with a fat content of 3,5% and leave for a couple of hours. After that, the cheese can be eaten. By the way, sterilized or ultra-pasteurized milk is not suitable for resuscitation: all milk bacteria are killed in it. If mold appears on soft cheese, this is a sure sign that the product is hopelessly spoiled. It cannot be restored or somehow used.
