A toothpick is a very inconspicuous object in our lives, but it has a big effect. When we have tasted the food, if there is some food left between the teeth, toothpicks can help us remove them, so basically every household will have a toothpick. But what many people don't know is that the role of toothpicks is much more than that, it can be used in many places in our lives, and it can help us solve a lot of troubles. Today, I will share with you a few wonderful uses of toothpicks, let's find out together!
One: It is convenient to sew buttons.
In our daily lives, we may often encounter the situation where the buttons of our clothes fall off. When the button is off, we sew it back with a needle and thread. However, it is difficult to grasp the tightness of the button when sewing it, especially some thick woolen jackets and the like, if the button is sewn, it is difficult to buckle it back. In fact, at this time, we can use a toothpick to solve this problem, and only need to put a toothpick on the surface of the clasp.
Then use a needle and thread to fix the button in the original button position of the garment, and each time the thread passes over the toothpick. I sew it several times and fix it.
After sewing, we will pull out the toothpick pressed in the middle, and the stitched thread will have a toothpick gap, and then adjust this gap, so that the tightness of the button we nail out is just right, not tight or loose.
Two: Clean the charging port of the mobile phone.
Our mobile phones have been used for a long time, and there may be intermittent charging, and the power cannot be charged, and many people still think that the mobile phone charger is broken. But in fact, it is likely that the charging port has been exposed to the air for a long time, causing some dust impurities to fall inside, so there will be a problem that it cannot be charged. At this time, we need to clean the dust in the charging port. We first prepare a toothpick and a cotton swab, tear off a little cotton on the head of the cotton swab, and then wrap this cotton around one end of the toothpick so that it becomes a mini cotton swab, and then glue it with a little alcohol.
Next, we put this mini cotton swab into the charging port of the mobile phone, wipe it back and forth, the cotton swab is very small, it can be well extended into the charging port, and clean the stains inside. Wipe it down and charge it again, and the phone is back to normal again. Not only the charging port, but also the small holes such as earpieces and speakers next to the mobile phone, we can also use this method to wipe them, which can also make our mobile phone louder.
Three: Hypnotic Monkey Peach.
The kiwifruit that I usually buy home is hard and needs to be ripened before it can be eaten. To ripen kiwifruit, we can also use a toothpick, first take a toothpick, and then use a toothpick to prick some small holes on the surface of the kiwi. Because the kiwifruit itself will release ripening ethylene gas, but it is relatively slow, and the purpose of we make small holes on the surface is to accelerate the release of ethylene gas from the kiwifruit itself, so that it can be ripened quickly.
After the kiwifruit has small holes on the surface, we wrap the kiwi with plastic wrap, which can prevent bacteria from invading the small holes of the toothpick, and can also better lock in ethylene gas, so that the kiwifruit can ripen faster. Finally, pack all the kiwi fruit in a bag and leave it for two or three days, and the kiwi will be soft and ready to eat.
Four: Clean the base of the kettle.
The kettle is a kind of water boiling tool that many families will use, but after the kettle has been used for a long time, there may be no electricity, slow boiling water, and poor contact. In fact, this is probably caused by limescale in the base of the kettle, or other dirty things. There is a raised circle in the center of the base, and there are some small gaps in the middle of the circle, and some dirty things will fall from this gap to the two copper sheets under the base, once the copper sheets are attached to too many stains, it will lead to poor contact and affect the conductivity of boiling water.
In this case, we also use a cotton swab and a toothpick to make a miniature cotton swab.
Then dip it in alcohol and reach into the gap in the base and wipe it back and forth.
After wiping, you can see that the cotton has turned black and is very dirty, and the stains inside have been cleaned off, so that our kettle can be used normally again. We don't have to worry about getting wet inside after cleaning, because the alcohol evaporates very quickly and immediately volatilizes and dries.
