No time for an elaborate shoe polish?
No problem: If you have to be quick (as an exception), you can simply treat small scratches on the rubber sole with a cotton ball and a few drops of nail polish cleaner.
Leather shoes can also be treated by dabbing the worn areas with it.
"Then wash with a little soapy water, dry and treat with leather care as usual," advises the women's magazine
Brigitte.de.
White cloth shoes, meanwhile, are fairly easy to clean with baking soda and lemon.
Nail polish remover can also be used to remove some paint splashes on smooth walls, window frames or furniture at home.
The same goes for ink stains, provided the surface is smooth.
According to the women's magazine, dirt or streaks on tiles can also be removed more easily with the help of the practical all-rounder.
Try it out.
According to Chip.de
, even small scratches from displays on smartphones, watches or laptops can be
removed with the help of nail polish cleaner.
However, this only works on plastic, while acetone cannot remove scratches in the glass.
So how does it work on plastic?
The nail polish remover should be dripped onto a fine cloth and used to gently work on the display.
And so until the scratches are no longer visible, according to the council.
According to the magazine, you can even remove burnt-in plastic, for example on the hob, with nail polish remover, put a few drops on a piece of cloth and rub it over it.
"Process this area thoroughly and clean it completely.
Preferably with clear water,” says the online article.
Because of course nothing of the strong solvent should remain on the metal surface.
With a ceramic hob, you should use other cleaning agents instead.
Adhesive residues or, for example, the remains of old vignettes that can no longer be properly removed from the car window can also be removed with the help of nail polish remover.
Always use the agent sparingly and wipe the surfaces thoroughly with water where it is suitable.
If you come into direct contact with it, wash your hands thoroughly afterwards, because the acetone must not remain on the skin.
