5 Easy Ways to Fix Things by Beer


1. Give cast-iron pot cleanup. Have you ever felt fed up with scrubbing pots and pans after cooked your meal. If yes, try pouring a little beer into the still warm pan because the bubbly liquid of beer keeps the mess from sticking and you then cook much more food as you like, regardless of cleaning you pots anymore.

2. Loosen rusty bolts and screws. If your screws in the box turn corroded, you can pour a few gulps of beer on the screws, wait just a few seconds and then the screws become new ones for you. That’s because the carbonation helps break down the rust.

3. Make jewelry sparkle. Stop buying pricey cleansing product for your ornaments since you can use a light beer with a clean towel for polishing your gold jewelry to remove any dirt. Your jewelry turns sparkle as the beer’s nature acids help bring its shine back.

4. Get a good night’s sleep. (Besides, drinking it before bedtime.) With a little beer you can wash pillowcase in water because beer is made of hops which sometimes is used as herbal remedy for insomnia. What’s more, the hops have the chemical compound, which has calming and slightly tranquilizing effects.

5. Relax your soles. Make a mixture of room-temp beer and warm peppermint tea (half: half) and soak your feet into a small tub of the mixture for 20 minutes. After that, the enzymes in beer soften your toughened feet and finally your tired feet become lively.
