00:00If you ever find yourself stuck in the trunk of your car, stay calm.
00:04All cars are supposed to be equipped with an emergency latch to help open the trunk from the inside in
00:10the unlikely case it happens.
00:12These latches are so well thought out that they can be opened by people of all ages.
00:17More so, handles are designed to glow in the dark, too.
00:20You can even pull them with a mouth if there's not enough wiggle room to use your hands.
00:25Never mind how you ended up in the trunk in the first place.
00:28Moving on!
00:29If you're ever working with needle and thread, remember you don't need to stick the needle directly into the spool.
00:36You may end up losing the needle altogether, not to mention you can easily hurt your fingers.
00:41A lot of modern sewing kits these days come with a designated place for safeguarding the needles.
00:47It's located at the bottom part of the thread spool.
00:50You'll just need to pull it out.
00:51It's even made to hold multiple sewing needles at a time.
00:56Disposable ballpoint pens come with a little secret of their own.
01:00Did you ever notice that in some of them, there's a small hole in the plastic part?
01:04It's actually a rudimentary ventilation system.
01:07It's supposed to let the ink easily make it to the tip of the pen.
01:12Okay, I know it's in the name, but you really don't need to shake the seasoning shaker to get any
01:17product out.
01:18Don't believe me?
01:19Hey, you're not the only one.
01:21Go grab your favorite seasoning bottle out of your pantry.
01:24If it has one of those removable plastic caps, it's perfect for the experiment.
01:30Instead of shaking the bottle, try holding it from the plastic cap while it's upside down.
01:35Now gently twist the bottle from side to side and, before you know it, you get some gorgeously flowing seasoning
01:42without having to wiggle the shaker and make a mess all over the stove.
01:47On the same note, most salt and pepper shakers should have ridges on the bottom of the glass portion.
01:53In case you get any seasoning stuck in there, place the bottom of the salt shaker against the bottom of
01:59the pepper shaker and wiggle it around so the ridges click with each other.
02:03The seasoning should easily pour out now without you having to open the bottle.
02:08In colder weather, you often have so many clothing layers on you that you can hardly feel the purse or
02:14back straps on your shoulder anymore, not to mention how fast they can slide off.
02:19Some jackets come with a built-in solution for that, in the form of a small tab on the shoulder
02:25with either a hook or a button.
02:27It's meant to be opened and closed comfortably, so you can keep your purse in place at any time.
02:34You're most likely using it merely to peel the skin of potatoes, carrots, or cucumbers.
02:39But you can use your vegetable peeler for chopping fine strips of onion as well.
02:44Just cut the onion into quarters vertically and then start slicing.
02:48This might also help out with those embarrassing onion tears.
02:53Most people miss this one, but should you ever have a closer look at your toothpaste tube,
02:58You will surely see some sort of coloring there, either a dot or a block.
03:03Colors can vary.
03:05They can be black, green, red, or even blue.
03:08These color spots are actually meant to help the assembly machines back at the toothpaste factory.
03:13They recognize when and where these machines need to cut the toothpaste tubes and proceed to fold them for packaging.
03:20For most types of footwear, if there's anything that seems a bit out of place, always know that it's there
03:26for a reason.
03:26Most manufacturers don't put extra items on shoes just for fun.
03:31It would definitely be a waste of time and resources.
03:34For footwear, like boots, for example, there's often a small loop at the top back of the shoe.
03:40It's there to help you when you need to put the shoe on, since you can quickly pull on it.
03:44Plus, you can also hang the shoes somewhere, most likely to dry, since most boots are meant to be worn
03:50in the colder weather.
03:51Now, I've been guilty at least once of overdressing with a bunch of layers, just so I won't need to
03:58jam everything in my check-in bag.
04:00But does it become a problem when you actually have to get seated?
04:04What do you do with your coat or your jacket?
04:07Well, have a closer look next time you board a plane on the seat in front of you.
04:11The hook that keeps the tray table upright can double as a jacket hook.
04:16As long as you don't need to have any meals while in the air, you're good to go.
04:21Now, most mascaras expire within 3-6 months, I'm told, depending on the manufacturer.
04:27But you can help speed up that process if you're not careful enough.
04:31Continuously pumping the mascara wand, trying to mix in the product, actually pushes more air into the tube.
04:37This can make it dry much faster, and you evidently won't get the desired results with it anymore.
04:44There's an easy way to check if your mascara is still good enough to use.
04:48If you don't hear a popping noise when you take the brush out, you may very well need to go
04:53get yourself a new mascara tube.
04:56Now, I know we're living in the era of Bluetooth-connected devices.
05:00But for better quality sound, they still recommend using headphones that connect via audio jacks.
05:07Remember seeing black ridges on those jacks?
05:10They aren't there just to make them fit when you plug them into your phone or laptop.
05:14Made out of a special insulating material, these bands are meant to guard the wires when sound is being transmitted.
05:21Based on the number of bands, you can figure out which end goes where.
05:25Some empty space under noodles in a cup doesn't mean the company producing them wants to cheat you out of
05:31a full portion.
05:32No, no.
05:33No, it's a manner of keeping the noodles intact during their transportation.
05:37It also helps with the circulation of hot water that is poured over the products before you can enjoy them.
05:43The V-shaped neckline was initially designed to serve a bunch of objectives.
05:48First, as a way of prolonging the life of the garment that would maintain its shape over the years.
05:53It's also there to fit your head through the shirt in case it needs some stretching.
05:57This way, it ensures a snugger grip around the neck.
06:01Lastly, it helps absorb sweat in case you're wearing the shirt while exercising.
06:06Now, it's not necessarily a custom anymore, but you may have stumbled upon a dinner jacket with an additional mysterious
06:14pocket on the right side.
06:15Turns out, this pocket was used by men to easily reach their train tickets, since most of them had to
06:22travel to work every day.
06:23It helped them keep their jacket buttoned up, but also benefited from the use of a pocket.
06:29Now, it's only added as a decoration, and it doesn't serve an actual purpose anymore.
06:34Speaking of things we don't use these days, or at least for their initial purpose, did you know Play-Doh
06:40was originally a cleaning product?
06:43In the 1920s, the market was in need of a product that could help them wipe the wallpapered areas around
06:49coal-burning furnaces.
06:50The recipe for what we now know as Play-Doh was thus invented.
06:55It was manufactured in white only, and was supposed to clean wallpaper by being rolled back and forth over the
07:01dirt.
07:02It was only later, in the 1940s, that new products for cleaning wallpaper were brought up, and Play-Doh was
07:09redirected toward another area of the market.
07:12Now, while I enjoy a nice piece of toast for breakfast, isn't it pesky to have to clean out the
07:18toaster?
07:19Well, not anymore, since I recently found out that toasters have a slide or a panel at the bottom that
07:26helps get rid of all those annoying breadcrumbs easily.
07:32Now, there used to be a time when you could only have access to video games by inserting cartridges in
07:38your console of choice.
07:39These tiny objects gave many doctors a lot of headaches.
07:43People soon started popping up in hospitals after swallowing small game cartridges, especially the younger generation.
07:51Nintendo, the company that manufactures the majority of these devices, had to come up with a creative solution to prevent
07:58these accidents.
07:58So, these days, Nintendo Switch cartridges are purposely coated with specific chemicals that can leave a really bad, bitter taste
08:07in the mouth.
08:08Not that I'd, you know, recommend you ever try and taste for yourself.
08:12Hmm.
08:13Remember moving around on those scooter boards during gym class?
08:17Or, more accurately, bashing your fingers repeatedly while holding onto the handles?
08:22Somehow, they managed to be designed perfectly to cause the most finger damage as possible.
08:27But, it turns out that we all missed the actual use of these handles on the slides.
08:32Guess what?
08:33They're finger guards, not handles at all.
08:36The plastic loops on the sides of the boards were designed to protect your fingers from the exact walloping that
08:42we all gave ourselves by using them wrong.
08:45See, the correct way to hold on is to slide your hands through the hole and grip the base of
08:50the board itself.
08:51This way, you'll block your knuckles from knocking into other boards and obstacles while you're having the time of your
08:57life scooting around.
08:59When you're getting out of the shower and wrapping yourself in a cozy bathrobe, which way are you supposed to
09:05tie it?
09:06This way, right?
09:07With the belt through all the loops tied around your waist?
09:10I mean, that's how all belts work.
09:12Is it a trick question?
09:14Yup.
09:14Bathrobes actually work better tied like this.
09:18Slide the belt through the first two loops on the front and pull it tight.
09:22It's so much easier to wrap it nice and tight.
09:25Look at this division symbol.
09:27I bet you've never put together what the little-known meaning behind the design is.
09:33It's a fraction, but with the numbers replaced by dyes.
09:37Makes perfect sense, right?
09:38Why didn't any of us notice it?
09:41If you slice open an avocado but don't use it, there's a way to keep it from going brown.
09:47Store it in a glass of water in the fridge.
09:49It'll last two to three days longer.
09:52When you're microwaving some popcorn for movie night and are about to pour it from the bag into a bowl,
09:58stop!
09:58There's actually a useful feature built into the microwavable bags that barely anyone uses.
10:05Once it's all popped, the end of the bag will have a slight opening.
10:09Before you tear it open wider, tip the bag upside down and shake it.
10:13It's designed to let the pesky, unpopped kernels fall out.
10:17Shake them all out, and you'll have a perfect bowl of popcorn every time.
10:22Sunblock has an unknown use that could come in handy if you ever have a permanent marker on your skin
10:29and a can of Sunblock spray handy.
10:31Just spray it on the marker and wipe off.
10:34There you go!
10:35It also works on hard surfaces like your kitchen tiles.
10:39So, the next time you unleash your artistic talent with a Sharpie somewhere you shouldn't, you're covered.
10:45If the batteries in your remote run out of juice, there's a hidden feature to give them a bit more
10:51life.
10:51Take them out and rub the ends together on both sides.
10:54This cleans off the connectivity points and gives the chemicals inside time to redistribute.
11:00This means you've got more time to run to the store to buy more batteries.
11:05Look up! See your ceiling fan?
11:08Okay, if you don't have a ceiling fan, just go with it and imagine you do.
11:12Well, it has a hidden feature that you probably don't know.
11:16It might be a switch on the fan itself or a button on the remote.
11:19But most fans have the ability to change directions.
11:23And there's a reason you really want it to.
11:26In winter, you want it to spin clockwise, which pushes all the hot air from the ceiling down.
11:32In the summer, you want to spin it counterclockwise to pull the cool air that pulls around the floor up
11:39to circulate around the room.
11:41This next one's a huge deal.
11:43Your microwave probably has a silent mode.
11:46Yeah, that's right.
11:47All your 3 a.m. burritos that you heated up with your finger hovering over the stop button to hit
11:53it one second before the timer went off could have actually been a lot less stressful.
11:58It depends on the mode, but by either pressing or holding the 0 or 1 button, you should be able
12:04to activate the silent mode.
12:06Now, you can microwave to your heart's content anytime.
12:10Those springy doorstops at your baseboards that make the boing sound aren't just doorstops.
12:16They're also door holders.
12:18By holding them down and opening the door over them, the spring latches onto the bottom of the door and
12:24locks it open.
12:25Yeah, we all missed that one.
12:28Did you know you've probably been putting on your running shoes wrong?
12:32See, there's a small hole at the top where the laces end that's called a heel lock.
12:38Can you guess what it does?
12:39Yeah, it locks your heels.
12:41That way, they don't slip around and give you a blister or slide your sock down, which is just the
12:47worst feeling, isn't it?
12:48So what you're supposed to do is loop each lace into its heel lock hole, which creates a small loop.
12:55The opposite lace then goes through that loop.
12:58Tie your laces tight just like you normally would and, whoa, your heels are secure.
13:03Speaking of shoelaces.
13:05If you accidentally knot them so well that even you, with your incredible muscles, can't undo them, there's a common
13:13baking ingredient that has a hidden feature that can help.
13:16Yep, you heard me right.
13:18A baking ingredient.
13:20Cornstarch can make your gravy thicker, or it can untie stuck knots.
13:24It's so talented!
13:26Just sprinkle it on any knot, coating it completely, and it will slide free easily.
13:32It works on necklaces, ropes, yarn, etc.
13:34It doesn't work on knots in your muscles, though, unfortunately.
13:38But hey, you can always give it a try.
13:41Uh-oh.
13:42Did you put on your friend's ring without thinking how much smaller their hands are than yours?
13:47And now it's stuck!
13:48Just grab a bottle of Windex, my friend.
13:52Yep, Windex cleans your windows, of course.
13:54But it also has a neat little secret talent at removing stuck rings.
13:59A little spritz, and that bling will slide right off.
14:02Cool, huh?
14:03Huh? Why has no one ever taught us that?
14:06Let's say you're writing something in pencil, like an exam, but whoops, you forgot your eraser.
14:12Strangely, you didn't forget to bring your bread to the test.
14:16So you've got that, which is all you need to clear up that mistaken answer you just wrote down.
14:22Roll the bread up tightly until it has a texture best described as, well, eraser-like.
14:28Then go at it, erasing like you normally would.
14:31Why have the bread makers been hiding this from us?
14:35This could have been useful in so many situations when I brought bread to my school exams.
14:40If you wear leather jackets, first off, you're cool.
14:44Second off, you're probably missing out on a hidden feature that's not so hidden and is actually in plain sight.
14:51The straps on the top of the shoulders of your jacket aren't just for decoration.
14:56If you unbutton them while you slide on the straps of your bag, you can clip them shut again over
15:02your bag straps, locking them in place.
15:04No matter how many jumping jacks or cartwheels or breakdancing head spins you do, your bag is not going anywhere.
15:12When you need to wrap up some leftovers, tinfoil is your friend.
15:16But it also has a place in the laundry room because of this secret use.
15:21Imagine you run out of dryer sheets.
15:24Your clothes come out of the dryer full of so much static that they make your hair stand up straight
15:29like a cartoon evil scientist's.
15:31Here's what you need to do.
15:33Crush up two sheets of tinfoil into tight balls.
15:36Throw those clothes back in the dryer with the balls and give them another round.
15:41They'll come out static-free.
15:44After you make hard-boiled eggs, they're in hot water.
15:47Some would say boiling hot.
15:49So how do you get them out easily without reaching in?
15:53A whisk.
15:54Push it over the egg and it will pop into the wire cradle.
15:58Now you can pull it right out with ease and comfort.
16:02The colors of the clips on bread bags actually convey a secret meaning.
16:07They're showing you the day of the week that the loaf was packaged.
16:10Blue means Monday, brown means Tuesday, and white means Friday.
16:15Yeah, it's not just random colors.
16:17And most bread brands follow the same system because there's one company that supplies a lot of these clips.
16:24So when picking out the perfect loaf, you can gauge the freshness by the color.
16:31We know how much homeowners love to make their houses picture-perfect.
16:35It can soon become a struggle, though, once you've tried to flatten out those pesky corners of a new rug.
16:41But there is one genius trick that can help.
16:44Just plop a few ice cubes and a heavy object on the corner, and voila!
16:48Flat rug.
16:49No more tripping over the rolled-up edges.
16:53Sitting in your car, frozen and grumpy, watching your window slowly defrost is about as fun as watching paint dry.
17:00And let's not forget the disaster that is wiping the mist off the inside.
17:05But hey, if you don't want to risk getting slapped with a fine, you better give this funky demisting trick
17:10a try.
17:11People have tried it all, but apparently, it was the cat litter that won the condensation game.
17:16Just grab an old sock or pair of tights, fill them up with cat litter, tie it up, and plop
17:22it under your car's windows.
17:24It's so effective that it should do the trick in just 10 minutes.
17:28The cat litter works by absorbing the moisture in the air.
17:32Cleaning our stoves ain't fun either, let's be honest.
17:35But fear not, because one cleaning guru on TikTok has come to the rescue with a genius trick that'll make
17:41cleaning your stove a breeze.
17:44All you need is some oven spray, cling film, and a lot of patience.
17:48Start by spraying some cleaning product on the stove.
17:52Then cover the whole thing in cling film.
17:55Here's where your patience will be needed.
17:56You'll have to wait a whole day for the cleaning product to work its magic.
18:00But trust me, once you remove that cling film, the stains will have melted off.
18:05That leftover mess on your stove can be scrubbed off easily now.
18:09Finish the job using a regular cloth for the rest of the grind.
18:14It's time you forget about fancy schmancy car trash cans.
18:18Why waste your money on those when you can repurpose a plastic cereal container?
18:22It's small enough to fit in your car, and the flip-top opening means your trash won't go flying all
18:28over the place when you take sharp turns.
18:31Plus, just line it with a plastic grocery bag, and you're ready to go.
18:36Feel like your feet need a bit of pampering?
18:39You can skip the expensive spa day at your local salon.
18:42All you need is a sanitary pad, some toothpaste, and baking soda.
18:47Mix the toothpaste with the baking soda powder and spread it evenly on the pad.
18:52Place it on the soles of your feet and slip a sock on so it's nice and snuggly.
18:57The pad should keep the mixture and moisture in so you don't make a mess all over your house.
19:03After an hour or two, rinse off the toothpaste mixture with plenty of water.
19:08You'll notice how soft the soles of your feet have become.
19:11For that extra step, add some moisturizer too.
19:15Those trusty sanitary pads can be used for all sorts of stuff around your house too, like for freshening up
19:22your drawers.
19:23Just spritz some perfume on a pad.
19:26Place it next to your clothes of choice, and voila!
19:29Your gym clothes, for example, will smell like a fragrant bouquet.
19:32And don't forget to throw one in your gym bag too.
19:36Oh boy, time to give those lampshades the love they deserve.
19:40Grab a trusty lint roller and watch in amazement as you unveil a whole new world of colors underneath that
19:46forever dust.
19:48Who knew your lampshades were secretly chameleon?
19:52Say goodbye to dog hair and hello to your new household best friend, the rubber squeegee brush.
19:58This bad boy can snatch up so much fur from your carpet that you'll be wondering if you even own
20:03a pet.
20:04Just stroke it short and quick over your rug and watch it unleash a furry storm.
20:10And if you're wondering about your hardwood floors, fear not.
20:13The rubber bristles work like magic to create one giant fur ball.
20:19Save yourself from cleaning cabinets and furniture tops by hooking them up with fashionable hats.
20:25They're made out of wax paper or paper bags.
20:28The dirt and grease will stick to your new accessories, and when it's time for a new look, just swap
20:33them out every few months.
20:36You know that feeling when you finally peel off a bumper sticker or parking permit, but then you're left with
20:41a sticky mess?
20:42There's a simple solution though.
20:45Slap a wet piece of newspaper on top of that gunk and let it marinate for 15 minutes.
20:50Then poof, the glue will be as soft as a fluffy cloud, and you can wipe it away with ease.
20:57If your dishwasher is stinking up your kitchen, it's time to get your detective hat on.
21:01Check that filter for any leftovers lurking in there.
21:04Then add a splash of vinegar to your next hot wash cycle.
21:08Those pesky food particles could be the culprits behind your dishwasher's funky fragrance.
21:14Get ready to be a Vaseline wizard.
21:17Say goodbye to pesky polish smudges with a simple solution.
21:21Slather some Vaseline around your nails before you go to town with a brush.
21:25Once you're done, wipe away the excess without the need for any nail polish remover.
21:30And if you're feeling fancy, make that perfume last even longer by adding a touch of Vaseline to your neck
21:37and wrists.
21:38It's like a scent superhero, keeping those fragrance molecules from flying away too soon.
21:44Have you checked out your shower curtain lately?
21:47It might be looking pretty grimy and gross.
21:50Toss that bad boy in the washing machine with a couple of towels and voila!
21:54No more soap scum stains!
21:56The towels will help with scrubbing away all that mess while they're tumbling in the washing machine.
22:02Say goodbye to single socks with a strip of foam pipe insulation.
22:07Measure and cut each piece.
22:09Then place it in that sneaky gap between your washer and dryer or wall.
22:14Those pesky socks will never go missing again.
22:18Got a wobbly table that's cramping your style?
22:22Your trusty bottle cork is here to save the day!
22:26Slice off a piece of that bad boy, glue it to the wobbly leg, and voila!
22:32You've got yourself a sturdy surface to rest your drink on.
22:37A hammer is more than just a smashing tool.
22:41The back of this tool can actually hold a nail for you.
22:46No more risking your fingers or giving yourself a thumbectomy.
22:51Just slide it into the claw, and bam!
22:54You're ready to nail it!
22:57Want to know the saucy way to pick up a sizzling lid?
23:01Ditch those boring oven mitts and grab yourself a pair of tongs.
23:06But wait!
23:07Don't just go in head first.
23:09Use the middle!
23:11Trust me, it's hot and it's effective.
23:15Care to find out how to keep your dressing gown from slipping and sliding all over the place?
23:22Got you covered!
23:23Instead of going through all the loops, just place the cord through the front ones.
23:29You don't even need it to be wrapped around you.
23:32All the business will be in the front.
23:35Tie that cord up nice and tight, and you'll be strutting around in no time.
23:42Bet you didn't know the right way to light a multi-wick candle.
23:46You'll never hurt the tips of your fingers again.
23:50Truth is, you don't light them one by one.
23:54Just light the first one.
23:56Then angle the candle in the right position, so it lights up the other ones too.
24:03So, apparently, we've all been using deodorant wrong.
24:08Who knew?
24:10You're supposed to lather that stuff on before going to bed.
24:15That's because our underarms are supposed to soak it in overnight for maximum effectiveness.
24:23I'm here to save you from the USB struggle bus.
24:26You know that symbol on the cord?
24:29Yeah, it's not just there for decoration.
24:32Align the seam with the opposite edge of the tongue, and voila!
24:36You're in business.
24:37No more flipping it upside down and sideways like a crazy person.
24:42Thank me later.
24:43Seat belt on the passenger seats has a fabric loop.
24:46When put under a great amount of pressure, the stitches on the loop rip apart,
24:50so the excess fabric can assist in cushioning the passengers.
24:54The extra few inches can make a great difference within a dire circumstance.
24:59However, there isn't one on the driver's side.
25:02As the driver is so close to the steering wheel, it's safer for them not to have one.
25:07Seat belts were originally invented in the mid-19th century,
25:11though this technology wasn't brought into common practice until the 1960s.
25:16Pre-collision sensory technology has assisted with developing the safety of seat belts and other features to the next level.
25:23Effectively predicting a car's collision, the technology directs the seat belts to automatically tighten,
25:29aligning the airbags and ensuring the brakes will be pre-loaded to reduce shock.
25:34Every year, 6 million car accidents occur,
25:38which explains why all cars still must continue to develop safety features,
25:43not only to alleviate accidents, but to protect people more effectively within their cars.
25:49The materials that make up the body of cars only started getting replaced within the last 25 years,
25:55ranging from aluminum and magnesium alloys to carbon fiber composites.
26:00These lighter materials not only enable a more fuel-efficient journey,
26:04but they also ensure that when a car is in an accident, its build provides a crumple zone.
26:10As a car hits another object, the crumple zone absorbs energy from the collision.
26:15Although this would appear to cause more damage to the car,
26:18it helps prevent impact on the passengers.
26:21Front and rear bumpers are very underrated,
26:24and due to their long history of being used in cars,
26:27you can't imagine a time we didn't use them.
26:29They were invented in the late 1800s.
26:32The bumpers evolved over the years to the point we don't even realize we have them.
26:37But they're there, quietly waiting under the outer covers,
26:40consisting of compressible foam or plastic around a rigid reinforced bar.
26:46All the windows of your car are made of glass,
26:49but the windshield is made of a shatterproof version.
26:52It's laminated, so whatever might hit it,
26:55you can be sure there won't be any shards of glass falling into the front seats.
27:00Normal glass was used up until the 1950s.
27:02As vehicles became more prominent,
27:05they made modifications to ensure safety.
27:09Airbags seem like another common feature that has always been there.
27:12In fact, they were originally invented in 1968 and were ahead of their time.
27:18They slowly gained popularity,
27:20and through safety precautions for cars,
27:22they eventually became mandatory for all cars to have only in 1998.
27:27They have since developed from just being an airbag within the steering wheel.
27:32Today, depending on the vehicle,
27:34they can be located throughout the car,
27:36ensuring all potential passengers will be protected.
27:39Crash sensors connected to an onboard computer
27:42detect when a collision occurs and trigger the bags,
27:46inflating within milliseconds,
27:47and providing a cushioned safety within a blink of an eye.
27:51It can be difficult to predict the weather,
27:54and even more so to determine traction on the road.
27:57In the late 1960s,
27:59anti-lock braking systems, ABS,
28:01were implemented in vehicles.
28:03Before that, they had been used in many aircraft,
28:06with designs going as far back as 1908.
28:09They soon became a necessity for all vehicles,
28:13ensuring traction is maintained on slippery surfaces,
28:16and that there is complete control when braking.
28:18Today, ABS has advanced so much
28:22that the latest variations ensure further detection
28:25when there are strong crosswinds.
28:27Cruise control, initially invented in 1948,
28:31has been in constant development over many decades.
28:34Today, adaptive cruise control ensures that
28:37when the car is cruising at a constant speed
28:39and detects a slower car ahead,
28:42it will then adjust the speed to match the car in front.
28:45Other advanced variants may also ensure
28:47the car will make a complete stop,
28:49once identifying that the car in front has done the same.
28:53It's easy to forget to have your high beams on
28:56when driving on the long and lonesome road for many hours.
28:59Automatic high beams are quickly becoming more common.
29:03High-tech camera modules can easily determine
29:06what type of light is passing through
29:08and help ensure when the high beam will be necessary.
29:11Although versions of automatic high beams
29:13have been around since the 1950s,
29:15they counted on light-sensitive sensors
29:17and were very unreliable.
29:20The new varieties can identify the sources of light,
29:23whether it's from the sun,
29:24directly from a car's light,
29:26or even from the reflection on a sign,
29:28ensuring you won't cause issues with other drivers.
29:32It's a pain in the neck
29:34to have to ensure there isn't anyone creeping
29:36into that semi-visible corner,
29:38the blind spot,
29:39which causes around 400,000 accidents per year.
29:43Solar sensors within rear bumpers of vehicles
29:45and blind spot monitoring systems
29:48watch and identify adjacent lanes.
29:50They alert the driver that a vehicle
29:52may be in the lane beside them,
29:54whether by flashing lights on the dash
29:56or from beeping sounds.
29:58This way, they help to alleviate
30:00the many concerns the blind spot causes.
30:031.6 million road accidents
30:06are caused by texting and driving,
30:08and fatigue normally causes up to 10%
30:10of all car accidents per year.
30:12The driver attention monitor
30:14helps to alleviate both statistics.
30:17It works through sensors
30:19that monitor the car's movements
30:20and the amount of steering corrections
30:22to ensure the driver
30:23is paying attention to the road.
30:25When the system identifies
30:27that the driver isn't completely awake
30:29or is slightly distracted with their phone,
30:31it will prompt signals
30:32to suggest it's time for a break.
30:35Tires are among the most critical components
30:37for your car
30:38with a close relationship
30:40with whatever path you take.
30:41Many safety features rely on the tires themselves
30:44for their own independent purposes.
30:47That's why it's super important
30:48to ensure the tires are always in top condition.
30:51Tire pressure monitoring systems
30:53check the air pressure of all four tires,
30:55ensuring you're aware
30:56when they need their pressure increased
30:58to avoid the risk of a blowout.
31:01The constant evolution in technologies
31:03continues to ensure you stay safe
31:05on longer stretches of the road.
31:07Lane departure warnings
31:09focus on the lines on the road,
31:10ensuring the car stays within.
31:13Whenever a car starts drifting
31:14over a line in the road
31:16without signaling to do so,
31:17the camera-based feature
31:18identifies and signals to the driver.
31:21The lane-keeping assist feature
31:23follows the same method
31:25of identifying when the car
31:26is intruding the bordering lane.
31:28When it gets too close,
31:29it will readjust the steering
31:31and center the car
31:32within its appropriate lane.
31:35Other features in more advanced cars
31:37have autonomous driving capabilities.
31:40The autopilot systems
31:41have taken cruise control
31:42to the next level.
31:43Not only does it allow the vehicle
31:45to steer itself in the intended lane
31:47while maintaining a set speed,
31:49but it also changes lanes
31:50when required,
31:51making the ride more and more efficient.
31:54Some safety features
31:56are only just making a trend
31:57in car models worldwide.
31:59For example,
32:00night vision,
32:01using thermographic cameras
32:02to look out for pedestrians
32:04and animals nearby.
32:05It goes within the infotainment screen,
32:08facing frontwards
32:09and identifying objects
32:10from their heat signatures.
32:12It's estimated that there are
32:14over 1.4 billion cars
32:16in use worldwide.
32:17And as the world's population increases,
32:20it's expected that the number of cars
32:22will follow suit.
32:23Safety features will continue to adapt
32:25further beyond what we know of today.
32:28Infrared headlights
32:29will be further adapted
32:31to be used in conditions
32:32with poor visibility,
32:33like storms, snow, and fog.
32:35They'll be capable of enhancing
32:37the visibility of the driver
32:39in all conditions
32:40without affecting the sight
32:41of passing drivers.
32:43Driver override systems
32:44will soon be able to monitor
32:46and identify human behavior.
32:48Whether due to reckless conduct
32:50on the road
32:50or for other safety precautions,
32:52cars will soon have the functionality
32:54to take complete control
32:56of themselves,
32:57ensuring both the passengers
32:58and the driver's safety.
33:00Augmented reality windshields
33:02are in early development already,
33:04providing some indicator reflections
33:06from the dash
33:07onto the windshield.
33:08So it's quite possible
33:09that soon all necessary directions
33:11for maps and alerts
33:12will appear right in front
33:14of the driver
33:15to ensure they never take
33:16their eyes off the road.
33:18Airbags will soon
33:19not only just be used
33:21within a car
33:21to ensure the passenger's safety,
33:23they will also activate
33:24from the outside of the car
33:26once they identify
33:27a definitive collision.
33:29The airbags
33:30will inflate outwards,
33:31covering the entire
33:32outside of the car
33:33and drastically reducing
33:35its impact.
33:36It may be so advanced
33:37that the bodywork of the car
33:39won't even need
33:39to be buffed out.
33:41The future technology of cars
33:43is expected to be
33:44so progressive
33:45that the cars themselves
33:46will have their own form
33:47of communication,
33:48not with human drivers,
33:50but with other cars.
33:52Just imagine,
33:53cars communicating
33:54and sharing information
33:55as they identify roadblocks,
33:57issues on the road,
33:58or disruptive weather patterns.
34:00It will all ensure
34:01the most efficient
34:02and safest route possible.
34:08So, take a small piece of fabric
34:11of a specific color
34:12and tie it to your luggage.
34:14This way,
34:15you'll save a lot of time
34:16waiting for your luggage
34:17to arrive
34:17because most people
34:19have similar ones,
34:20but now you can instantly
34:21recognize yours.
34:24It's annoying
34:25how often it feels
34:26like so many stick deodorants
34:28go to waste.
34:28You start feeling
34:30the container uncomfortably
34:31rubbing against your skin
34:32even when plenty of deodorants
34:34are still left.
34:35But there is an easy trick
34:37to use the last bit in there.
34:39Unscrew the bottom
34:40and force a pencil
34:41underneath that moving platform
34:42to push another inch
34:44of deodorant out.
34:45That gives you
34:46a few more weeks to use it.
34:47Just don't poke yourself
34:49with a pencil.
34:49That's the pits.
34:52You're running out
34:53of your favorite hand cream,
34:54but it seems
34:55the tube still has some.
34:56If you cannot push hard enough
34:58to get the rest of it,
34:59take scissors,
35:00cut the tube of cream in half,
35:02and use one more day.
35:05When you wrote something
35:06on the paper
35:06and want to cross it out
35:08and not allow anyone
35:09to read it,
35:10don't just scribble
35:11over those words.
35:12Simply write random words
35:14and letters
35:14over the original
35:15and no one will understand
35:17what the actual writing
35:18was about.
35:19I learned that one
35:20at spy school.
35:22If you often need something
35:23to prop up your phone,
35:25you don't have to look
35:25for random objects.
35:27Just take your sunglasses.
35:28They have a perfect shape
35:30of a phone holder.
35:32Use the inside
35:33of the toilet paper
35:34when you're at a public toilet.
35:36It's better to avoid
35:37covering the seat
35:38of a bathroom, too.
35:39When you flush a toilet,
35:40germs spring around
35:42and spray over
35:43the roll of nearby
35:43toilet paper, too.
35:45But if you have
35:46your own paper tissues,
35:47it'll be even better
35:48to use them.
35:50Greek yogurt flip cups.
35:52You probably want
35:53something extra
35:54when eating your Greek yogurt.
35:55Like honey.
35:56You mostly get
35:57a tasty dollop
35:58of fruit
35:59and cookie crumbs.
36:00But those additional
36:01compartments
36:02are really narrow,
36:03so you can't even
36:04reach what's inside
36:05unless you have
36:06some tiny spoon.
36:07Well, check the word
36:09on the lid.
36:09It says flip.
36:11Yep.
36:11Flip those small
36:12compartments over
36:13so their contents
36:14can mix with your yogurt.
36:16Bon appetit!
36:18Business cards
36:19are so easy to lose.
36:21Next time someone
36:22gives you one,
36:22take a picture of it
36:24just in case.
36:24If you lose it
36:25somewhere in your bag,
36:26at least you know
36:27where you can always
36:28find it.
36:30If you're not sure
36:31how to iron a button-up shirt,
36:33just flip it inside out.
36:35That way,
36:35you'll easily pass
36:36across the button side
36:37with your iron.
36:40Sometimes,
36:41even though you have
36:41a bag inside your trash bin,
36:43add the old newspaper
36:45to the bottom
36:45just in case.
36:47The paper will absorb
36:48food juices
36:49so they won't break
36:49through the bag
36:50and leave your bin messy.
36:53When you travel,
36:54make a bar
36:55of scented soap
36:56one of the essentials
36:57you take everywhere.
36:58Put it in the bag
36:59or compartment
37:00where you keep
37:01your dirty clothes.
37:02That will help
37:03to keep it smelling nice,
37:04at least until you find
37:05a place where you
37:06can wash it.
37:08There's a trick
37:09in how you can check
37:10if your batteries
37:11are good or bad.
37:12Just drop them
37:13on a table
37:13from around 6 inches.
37:15They're okay
37:16if they give just
37:17one tiny bounce
37:18and fall over.
37:18If not,
37:19if they continue
37:20bouncing around more,
37:21they're either
37:22on their way out
37:23or already dead.
37:28When you're taking
37:29a selfie
37:29and want to look
37:30more natural,
37:31squint your eyes.
37:32Not everybody
37:33feels comfortable
37:34in front of the camera,
37:35so you may look stiff.
37:36But this way,
37:37your smile
37:38will be more genuine
37:39in the photos.
37:41We all know
37:42how frustrating it is
37:43to have a container
37:44that doesn't fit
37:45in the sink
37:45and you still need
37:46to fill it with water.
37:48Just use a dust
37:49pan,
37:50a clean one,
37:50of course.
37:51Place it in a sink
37:52and enjoy this
37:53brilliant new way
37:54in your bathroom.
37:56If you wrote down
37:57a recipe
37:58or had a cookbook
37:59and don't feel
38:00like going to your table
38:01and checking it out
38:02all the time,
38:03take a pants hanger.
38:04Hang it somewhere
38:05in your kitchen
38:06to continue with slicing,
38:07chopping,
38:08and cooking
38:08and quickly check
38:10if you're following
38:10all the necessary steps.
38:13If you're not a fan
38:14of the taste
38:15of stale cereal,
38:16here's a trick
38:17that will help you
38:18keep them fresh
38:19even if they remain
38:20in the box
38:20for a longer time.
38:22Don't close
38:23the top panels
38:23of your cereal
38:24like you usually do
38:25with a square box.
38:26Pack it
38:27so it reminds you
38:28more of a milk carton.
38:29First,
38:30collapse three
38:31of the four pieces
38:32of cardboard
38:32to make an opening.
38:33Out of two long strips,
38:35leave one turned up.
38:36Now,
38:37tuck the two side panels
38:38inward into a V-shape.
38:40To hold it like this,
38:41pinch the unfolded flap
38:43of your cardboard
38:43into the opposite flap.
38:45Now,
38:46crimp the opening
38:46to keep it in place.
38:48With a tighter seal,
38:49your cereal
38:50will remain fresh
38:51for a longer time.
38:53Place a wooden spoon
38:55across a boiling pot
38:56of liquid.
38:57That way,
38:57you'll prevent it
38:58from boiling over.
39:00We all sometimes
39:01lend our stuff
39:02to friends
39:03and forget
39:04who took what.
39:05Take a picture
39:06of them holding
39:06the item
39:07so you remember
39:08where your things are.
39:10Chargers can sometimes
39:11bend if you carry
39:12them around in a bag.
39:14Take a spring
39:15from one of your
39:16old pens
39:16and wrap it around
39:17the critical part
39:18of the cable.
39:19It will prevent
39:20the cable from breaking.
39:22Now,
39:23we all love pancakes,
39:24sure,
39:24but preparing them
39:25can be really frustrating
39:27because it's almost
39:28impossible
39:29not to make a mess.
39:30Almost.
39:31If you use
39:32an old ketchup bottle
39:34and fill it
39:34with pancake mix,
39:35you'll certainly avoid
39:36most of the cleaning
39:37after it
39:38and have a nice treat,
39:40too.
39:42If you like
39:42going to the beach
39:43but are often afraid
39:44someone might take
39:45your stuff,
39:46try this trick.
39:47Take an old bottle
39:49of sun lotion
39:49and clean it out.
39:50Place your phone,
39:51keys,
39:52and money inside
39:53and close it.
39:54Looks casual enough
39:55for people around
39:56to think you
39:57don't have any valuables
39:58within your stuff.
40:00If you're having
40:01a barbecue gathering
40:02with your friends
40:03and looking for
40:04a practical way
40:05to serve condiments,
40:06here's a simple solution.
40:07A muffin tin.
40:08Less mess
40:09because you'll cut down
40:10on dishwashing,
40:11plus you save space
40:13at the table
40:13and keep things
40:14more organized.
40:16How to finally be able
40:17to differentiate
40:18your keys
40:19that all look so similar?
40:20Take different nail polishes.
40:22Now,
40:23you'll only need to remember
40:24which color
40:25is for which door.
40:27We all sometimes forget
40:28to put deodorant on
40:29before leaving the house.
40:30No worries,
40:31just pat your armpits dry
40:33and go with hand sanitizer.
40:35It's an excellent way
40:36to deal with bacteria
40:37that are actually
40:38a true reason
40:39for that unpleasant smell
40:40when sweating.
40:41Now,
40:42if you're keeping count,
40:42that's the second tip today
40:44about your armpits.
40:45Just saying.
40:46When you want
40:47to amplify the sound
40:48and don't own speakers
40:50or any other equipment
40:51that would help you,
40:52just place your phone
40:53in a glass jug.
40:54Woo-hoo!
40:55Party!
40:57Save a couple
40:58of toilet paper rolls
40:59and use them as cuffs
41:01so your wrapping paper
41:02doesn't unroll
41:03and make a mess.
41:05Any fans of
41:06iced cappuccinos
41:07or iced coffee here?
41:09Prepare some coffee
41:10and make frozen coffee cubes.
41:12That way,
41:13your beverage
41:13won't get watered down
41:14when you want
41:15to make it colder.
41:16When mobile phones
41:18just turned up,
41:19it looked like designers
41:20wanted to make them
41:21as small as possible.
41:22But over time,
41:24phones got so many
41:25other options
41:26besides just texting
41:27and calling.
41:28So,
41:28many new models,
41:29for example,
41:30the latest iPhones,
41:31have a bigger screen now.
41:32It seems like now
41:34you need to use
41:34both hands
41:35for typing once again.
41:36Unless you change
41:37the keyboard setting,
41:39open the keyboard,
41:40any app is good,
41:41and look for the global icon
41:43or the emoji icon.
41:44Press it and hold it down
41:46until you see
41:47the keyboard menu pop up.
41:49Do you see those
41:49three keyboard icons
41:51at the bottom?
41:51Pick the left one
41:52if you're right-handed,
41:53so the keyboard
41:54on your phone
41:55will compress itself
41:56to the left side.
41:57The keyboard will move
41:59toward the right side
42:00if you take the right side.
42:01Or,
42:02go to Settings,
42:03then General,
42:04choose Keyboard,
42:05and then One-handed Keyboard.
42:07You get the same result.
42:12Hey,
42:13if you're using your phone
42:14to watch something
42:15and are tired
42:16of propping it up
42:17and having it
42:17fall back down,
42:19try using your sunglasses.
42:21Simply place them
42:22upside down
42:23and use the parts
42:24that go around your ears
42:25to hold the phone in place.
42:27You can put old newspaper
42:29at the bottom
42:30of your trash bags
42:31to absorb food juices.
42:33This way,
42:34when you come
42:34to take out the trash,
42:35you don't get that
42:36gross liquid
42:37dripping on your floor.
42:39If you have flowers
42:40that are starting to droop,
42:42try placing a copper coin
42:44in the water.
42:45Copper is a natural fungicide,
42:47so adding a penny
42:48to the water
42:49helps protect your flowers
42:50from bacteria.
42:52This way,
42:52your flowers
42:53will stay fresh
42:54for longer.
42:55You can use the spring
42:57from an old pen
42:58to stop your charger's wire
43:00bending and fraying.
43:01Just take out the spring
43:03and wrap it around
43:04the top of the wire
43:05near the connector.
43:07Moving objects
43:08through a door
43:08when it keeps closing
43:09is super annoying.
43:11So instead,
43:12tie a rubber band
43:14around the handle
43:15on each side of the door
43:16so that it crosses
43:17over the latch.
43:19The latch then
43:20won't be able
43:20to pop out
43:21and the door
43:22won't lock shut.
43:24You can use a paper clip
43:25to find the end
43:26of your tape.
43:27Simply place the clip
43:29under the end
43:30of the tape
43:30and you'll never
43:31have to hunt again.
43:33To check whether
43:34your bed sheets
43:35are fully dried,
43:36take a mirror
43:37and place it underneath.
43:39Leave it there
43:39for around five minutes
43:41and if it steams up,
43:42it means the sheets
43:43are still damp.
43:45A damp bed
43:46can be a breeding ground
43:47for mold
43:48and other nasty fungi.
43:50Running a post-it note
43:52over your laptop keyboard
43:53will help get rid
43:54of the built-up grime
43:56and any pesky bits
43:57of food.
43:58Now wait,
43:59you don't actually
43:59eat at the computer,
44:01do you?
44:02Instead of filling
44:03your purse or wallet
44:04with store loyalty cards,
44:06you can take
44:07a photo of them.
44:08Just take one snap
44:09of the barcode
44:10as well as a picture
44:11of the front
44:12so you know
44:13which card it is.
44:14Then,
44:15when you visit the store,
44:16just scan the barcode
44:18on your phone
44:18to collect your points.
44:20Forgot to put your drink
44:22in the fridge?
44:23Wrap a wet paper towel
44:24around it
44:25and put it in the freezer.
44:26In just 15 minutes,
44:28your drink will be ice cold.
44:30You can paint the end
44:32of your keys
44:32with different colored
44:33nail polish
44:34so you can easily
44:35identify which key
44:37is which.
44:38To stop your wrapping paper
44:40from enrolling,
44:41you can cut open
44:42an old toilet paper roll
44:43and use it as a cup.
44:46In order to pour
44:47the perfect amount
44:48of oil or salad dressing,
44:50poke holes in the foil seal
44:52rather than removing
44:53it completely.
44:54This prevents
44:55a big amount
44:56rushing out quickly.
44:58To prevent band-aids
44:59from slipping
45:00off your finger,
45:01cut a line
45:02on either side.
45:03The band-aid,
45:04not the finger.
45:05This will create
45:06four smaller sticky strips
45:08rather than one large one
45:10and it will be
45:10much easier to secure.
45:13When your candle
45:14is burned down
45:15and the wick
45:16is difficult to reach
45:17with a lighter,
45:18you can use
45:18a stick of spaghetti.
45:20Just light the end
45:21and you'll have
45:22a longer stick
45:23that burns just as well
45:24so you can get
45:25to those hard-to-reach places.
45:28Secure a rubber band
45:29over the top
45:30of your paint can
45:31so that you can
45:32wipe excess paint
45:33onto it.
45:34This stops paint
45:35running down
45:36the sides of your can
45:37and keeps things
45:38neat and tidy.
45:40If you're struggling
45:41to get your taco shells
45:42to stay in place,
45:43use a muffin tray.
45:45Flip the tray
45:46upside down,
45:47spray it with oil
45:48and place your tortillas
45:50in the gap.
45:51Cook them for around
45:5210 minutes
45:53at 700 degrees
45:54for the perfect
45:55crispy taco shell.
45:57You can use a water bottle
45:59to separate egg yolks.
46:01Hold the bottle
46:02over the yolk
46:02and squeeze it
46:04to suck the yolk up.
46:05Drop it into a separate bowl
46:07and you're good to go.
46:09Looking for a lost earring
46:11or a pin on the floor?
46:12Place a stocking
46:14over the end
46:15of your vacuum
46:16and move it
46:16over the floor.
46:17The small object
46:19will get picked up
46:20without getting vacuumed.
46:22Next time you're struggling
46:23to clean your ceiling fan,
46:25use a pillowcase.
46:26Slide the pillowcase
46:28over each blade
46:29to wipe off the dust.
46:30This way,
46:31excess dust
46:32is caught inside
46:33the pillowcase
46:34and won't rain down
46:35on you.
46:36Poke a straw
46:37through your cherries
46:38to remove the stems.
46:40It's much quicker
46:41and this way,
46:42you don't waste
46:43as much fruit.
46:44If you're struggling
46:45to put a bracelet
46:46on your own hand,
46:48try using a paper clip.
46:50Open up the paper clip
46:51and slip it through the loops
46:53on the end of your bracelet.
46:54Hold the clip
46:55in the middle of your hand
46:56with your fingers,
46:58then flip the bracelet
46:59around your wrist.
47:00You should then
47:01be able to easily
47:02clasp it shut.
47:04To properly clean your blender,
47:07fill it with soap
47:08and hot water.
47:09Switch it on
47:10for around 10 seconds
47:11and let the swirling water
47:13do the hard work.
47:14Then just rinse it off
47:15and it's clean.
47:17Put down a strip
47:18of masking tape
47:19before nailing
47:20into plaster walls.
47:22The tape should stop
47:23the plaster from flaking
47:24or spreading dust
47:26all over the floor.
47:27When you're heating up leftovers,
47:30make a space in the middle
47:31with a spoon.
47:32The food will heat up
47:34much more evenly.
47:35Avoid the mess
47:36and frustration
47:37of peeling an orange
47:38by slicing off
47:40one end of the fruit.
47:41Then cut four to six slices
47:43and you'll find the peel
47:45will come off much easier.
47:47If you're struggling
47:48to use your butter
47:49because it's too cold,
47:51try using a cheese grater.
47:53Just grate the butter
47:54to make your life much easier.
47:56You can make a DIY garden sprinkler
47:59using an old plastic bottle.
48:01Punch some holes
48:02all over the bottle
48:04and then tape it
48:05to the end of your hose pipe.
48:06If your shoes smell bad,
48:08put a few dry teabags
48:11into the shoe.
48:12The teabags
48:12will absorb the smell.
48:14Potato chips
48:15are a perfect fire starter.
48:17The fat, oil,
48:18and chemicals inside
48:19make them super easy to burn.
48:22And yet,
48:23we still eat them.
48:24Can you see the irony?
48:26Try using toothpaste
48:27to remove small scratches
48:29on furniture.
48:30Rub a pea-size amount
48:32on the scratch
48:33in a circular motion
48:34until the scratch
48:35buffs out.
48:36Then wipe it
48:37with a damp cloth
48:38and voila!
48:41Candle wax
48:41that's been spilled
48:42on furniture
48:43can be removed
48:44with ice cubes.
48:45Rather than ruining
48:47the finish
48:47by trying to scrape it off,
48:49fill a plastic bag
48:50with ice
48:51and let it sit
48:52on the wax
48:52for a few minutes.
48:53The wax
48:54will then cool
48:55and harden
48:56making it much easier
48:58to pick off.
48:59Drill a couple
49:00of small holes
49:01in the bottom
49:02of your trash can
49:03to stop the bag
49:04getting stuck
49:05when you pull it down.
49:06The holes
49:07stop the vacuum-like effect
49:09that keeps the bag
49:10pinned down.
49:11Crayon marks
49:12on the wall
49:13are a parent's nightmare,
49:15but you can use
49:15a hair dryer
49:16to get them off.
49:18Heat the marks
49:18for a few seconds
49:19to soften the wax
49:20and then you should
49:22be able to just
49:23wipe it away.
49:24If you don't have
49:25the correct size coin
49:26to put in your
49:27shopping cart
49:28next time you go
49:29to the supermarket,
49:30you can use
49:31your key instead.
49:32If you have a key
49:33with a rounded end,
49:35you can insert that
49:36where the coin would go
49:37and the cart
49:38should unlock.
49:39You can easily
49:40remove the sticky residue
49:41from jars
49:42using cooking oil.
49:43Soak a cotton pad
49:45in some oil
49:46then rub it
49:46on the sticky area.
49:48Allow it to sit
49:49for a few minutes
49:50then it should
49:51wipe away easily.
49:53Attach a clothespin
49:54just under the head
49:55of your toothbrush
49:56to stop it from
49:57falling onto
49:58the dirty countertop.
50:00Maybe you should also
50:01clean your dirty countertop.
50:03To stop heavy flower pots
50:05from damaging
50:06your surfaces,
50:07stick furniture sliders
50:09to the bottom
50:10of the pot.
50:11You can use
50:12hair conditioner
50:13to make that new
50:14wool sweater
50:15less itchy.
50:16Just soak it
50:17in lukewarm water
50:18with a couple of
50:19tablespoons of
50:20conditioner
50:20and leave it
50:21for 15 minutes.
50:22Then just dry it
50:24and your sweater
50:25will be much softer.
50:26You can even wear it
50:28while you clean
50:29your dirty countertop.
