Practical household tricks: What washing powder can do

Dispel stink

If there is a slight smell coming from the vacuum cleaner's blower, simply sprinkle some powder on the floor and vacuum it up. Everything will smell fresh again.

Whitewash joints

Mix the washing powder with a little water to make a paste and apply to the joints with a toothbrush. Allow to work in well and wipe off.

Dissolve burnt-on food

Sprinkle washing powder over stubborn encrustations in a saucepan, add a little water and bring to the boil briefly. You can then easily remove burnt-on food with a sponge. Finally, rinse the pan thoroughly with clean water so that no powder residue remains.

Cleaning laminate

Dissolve some washing powder in a bucket of warm water, moisten the microfiber cloth slightly and scrub the floor with it.

Soak up oil

Immediately apply a little washing powder to oil stains, leave to work and then wash out.
