Practical household tips: What cotton buds can do

No, they have no place in the ear, that is now well known. But cotton buds can be very useful for other things. We reveal three surprising, clever household tips with cotton buds.

Cotton buds are not only practical for correcting small make-up mistakes. They also fulfill some surprising tasks in the household.

Untangling necklaces

To store jewelry in such a way that chains do not become knotted, thread the ends around the middle of a cotton bud and close the clasp.
