9 interesting ways to use cotton balls

Most likely, you have cotton balls at home, but usually you use them to remove varnish or something similar. It turns out that a cotton ball can be much more universal! Here are a few ways to use it.

Removal of waterborne coating

On chrome cranes and switches, there is often a raid. Soak a cotton ball in a solution of vinegar with water - this is a great way to get rid of stains on the metal surface.

Take a few balls of cotton wool and apply them to sweet essential oils, for example, cinnamon or orange. Put in a small bowl and put it on a shelf.

Relieving pain after a burn

Cotton ball, soaked in a solution of vinegar with soda and water, will help you get relief from the burn.

Removing the marker from the skin

If children are slightly carried away by drawing, you can easily remove the marker from the skin with a cotton ball and milk.

Disinfection of equipment

If you want to rub alcohol gadgets, but are afraid to pour it, just gently use a cotton ball - and you can clean the consoles, light switches and other hard-to-reach corners.
