Not just for baking: you can also use flour at home…
Flour is at its peak during the coldest months of the year. It’s rare to cook as often and in as large quantities as you do at this time of year. But many people don’t know this: Flour can be used not only for cooking and baking, but also as a versatile remedy. We show you five things you can do with this versatile product.
Many bakery ingredients can be used as miracle cures for household problems. Baking powder, for example, can be used to clean the oven or remove blood stains. Flour is also one of the multitalents that can be used outside the kitchen.
Here’s what multi-talented flour can be used for
1. polishing stainless steel
Flour can be used to polish stains on stainless steel surfaces. To do this, dust the cleaned surface with a thin layer of flour and then polish it with a clean cloth.
2. Glue remover for your hands
If your hands are stuck with glue residues after tinkering, you can rub a little flour between your hands. As the flour binds the glue, it crumbles away effortlessly.
3. odor neutralizer for the fridge
Flour can bind unpleasant odors. To do this, place an open jar filled with flour in the fridge and replace it every three to four weeks or so.
4. Helps eliminate eggs
Because of their gelatinous consistency, raw eggs are difficult to wipe off. However, if you dust them with flour, it will bind the egg mass and can then be easily removed with a kitchen towel.
5. Carpet stain remover
Flour can also be used to remove stains from carpets, such as red wine or grease stains. Put a little flour on the stains. The flour absorbs the moisture from wine, grease and so on, and can then be easily vacuumed up.
