7 Amazing Domestic Uses for Sugar
1. Calm babies
Pediatric studies have shown that babies who were given a solution containing one spoon of sugar and 5 glasses of water before being vaccinated reacted more calmly to shots than those that weren’t.
2. Treat wounds
A pinch of sugar may help heal many types of wounds, such as- pressure wounds, ulcers or cuts. Pour a little sugar on the wound to kill all the bacteria in the area and relieve chronic local pain.
3. Treat a burnt tongue-
Sipping too quickly from a scalding coffee cup or biting into a steaming pizza are easy ways of burning your tongue. Put a little sugar on the burnt area for quick pain relief.
4. Clean dirty hands
When your hands are very dirty ( with paint or grease, for instance), you can use sugar to remove the hard stains. Add sugar to soap foam and give them a good rub.
5. Nourish the roots of your flowers
For every liter of water you give your flowers, add 3 teaspoons of sugar for nourishment and 2 tablespoons of white vinegar to prevent bacterial growth.
6. Clean grass stains
Make a mixture of hot water and sugar and smear on clothes with grass stains. Allow it ti soak into the clothes for about an hour or slightly longer and then put in the laundry as usual.
7. Keep food fresh
If you put a cake or cookies in a sealed container and add a few sugar cubes, they will keep fresh for longer. The same goes for cheese.
