Remove ball point pen stains from clothes

-
Sometimes, ball point pens leak and unfortunately stains the pockets especially for our men who usually puts a pen in their breast pockets. When that happens, we will have to condemn the shirt and throw it out. 

For that favourite shirt, pour nail polish remover over the stain and gently rub and rinse out the shirt immediately.

Teachers especially may get some ball pen marks or stains on their clothes occasionally. Or the ball pen accidentally drops on the shirt or skirt. Soak a cotton ball with some nail polish remover and rub it on the stain to remove it. Rinse out the shirt or skirt immediately.

Remove excess fat or grease in the soup

-
I have just made a pot of clear chicken soup for dinner and just realised that the soup is too greasy! Oh, nightmare! The soup is ruined for good! Here goes some tried and tested methods: Keep the fire going for the soup. Shift the pot slightly to one side of the burner. The excess fat will be concentrated to one side of the pot. Use a skimmer and skim the surface to remove excess fat Or Pop some cold lettuce leaves into the soup and remove them immediately. Or  Drop some ice cubes into a slotted spoon or ladle and skim the surface to remove excess fat. Or Drag a clean paper towel over the surface of the soup to soak up the fat. Refrigerate the soup to chill it. The excess fat congeals at the surface of the soup. When that happens, lift it off with a spoon. However, do note that refrigerating the soup takes hours (at least 3 hours) before the fat congeals.

But with a few easy changes to your routine, you can make your socks last much longer. Here are 5 smart, everyday tips on how to prevent socks from getting holes and keep them in great shape. 1. Keep Toenails Trimmed and Smooth Long or jagged toenails are one of the biggest culprits behind toe holes. Regular trimming helps prevent nails from rubbing or tearing through the fabric.

Instead, let your socks air dry or lay them out in the sun. It's gentler on the material and helps preserve their shape and stretch.   3. Use Gentle Detergent Only Harsh chemicals like bleach and stain removers can damage fibers and reduce elasticity. Stick to mild laundry detergent when washing your socks—it ke...
