To clean your hairbrush perfectly, simply fill a deeper pot with warm water and a few drops of detergent. Then just dip the brush and let it soak for a few minutes. If you want, you can scrub it lightly with a toothbrush before rinsing it.
The process helps to eliminate the oil and dust that accumulates in the bristles of hair brushes.
5. Polishing jewelry
To make your jewelry shiny again, mix some sparkling water and dish soap in a deep container. Then, let the jewelry to be cleaned soak in the mixture for a few minutes. To finish, rinse.
The gas in the water will help the detergent to penetrate objects better and remove dirt and stains. Interesting, right?
6. Unclog the toilet
