If we know how 1 them well, we will be surprised at what they can do. 2 sugar cubes, for example. Besides being added 3 coffee or tea, they can also keep cookies in the jar crisp.

For instance, our clothes are often stained by markers, correction fluid, and so on. Most of us would try 6 all kinds of soap or washing powder. But whatever we do, we often have difficulty 7 these stubborn stains from our clothes. At this moment, rub the stains with some oil or citrus peel, and we will be 8 by the dramatic effect. It’s because the organic substances in the oil or the acid from the citrus peel can help get rid of the stains. It’s like magic, 9 it? Once we realize 1 0 it works, the trick seems to be ordinary.
