You can easily remove the stale odour from your water bottle using nothing but vinegar.

Fight Bad Odours in Plastic Utensils and Boxes with Vinegar

After cleaning with soap, fill the containers with a solution made from 1 part of white vinegar and 3 parts of warm water. Let them sit like this for 1 hour. Rinse and dry.

You can use coarse salt for scrubbing off stubborn stains on cooking pans and pots at home.

Remove Stubborn Stains From Cookware with Salt

Removing burnt milk, old grease, and scorched food on pots and pans are among the least favourite cleaning chores.

Presoak the dirty cookware with warm water and add a generous pinch of salt. Let the pot stay like this for 30 minutes and throw out the liquid. For especially stubborn stains, you can sprinkle the spot with salt after presoaking with the salty solution and scrub with a sponge. Rinse and wash the pot as usual.

You can prolong the life of your epilator if you clean it regularly using rubbing alcohol.

Clean Electric Shavers and Epilator Heads with Rubbing Alcohol

If you have the feeling that you razor’s blades have lost their sharpness or that your epilator just doesn’t work as well as before, don’t rush to the store to get a new one. Over time, a thin coat of skin cells and oils covers the epilator’s tweezers or the shaver’s blades and prevents them from working properly. You can easily sanitize the device and make it work as new. Soak the epilator or shaver’s head in pure rubbing alcohol. After 20 minutes scrub the area with a soft brush. Rinse with rubbing alcohol, to remove the residues. Let the gadget dry completely before using it. The alcohol will dissolve the dirt fast, without damaging the device. You can use this trick for cleaning hair clippers as well.
