3. Cleaning up glass
Shards may bring happiness, they say, but we definitely don’t want to step on them. It’s a difficult task to pick up all the shards and pieces of broken glass. Some pieces are so small that you don’t even see them. Here’s where potatoes come in handy. Cut a potato in half. Rub the open side on the ground where the glass broke. For safety, always wear protective gloves when doing so.
4. Polishing silver
Boiled potatoes on the menu? Save the water! The water contains lots of starch which can help get rid of annoying stains on your silverware. Place the silver in the water for at least an hour. Polish it when it’s dry and you’ll see how it looks shiny and new.
5. Small stains
Unfortunately, potatoes won’t be able to get giant red wine stains out of your white shirt, but it gets the job done for smaller stains. Dab a half raw potato on a grease stain to get rid of it. You’ll have to repeat the process numerous times to get the stain out completely.
