Remove Stains From Your Hands
Your family’s favourite carrot soup is simmering on the stove, and you’ve got the orange hands to show for it. Otherwise hard-to-remove stains on hands from peeling carrots or handling pumpkin come right off if you rub your hands with a raw, cut potato.
Make a Hot or Cold Compress
Potatoes retain heat and cold well. The next time you need a hot compress, boil a potato, wrap it in a tea towel and apply to the area. Refrigerate the boiled potato if you need a cold compress.
Remove Tarnish from Silverware
High tea is being served at your house later today, and you’re out of silver polish. Grab a bunch of potatoes and boil them up. Remove them from the water and save them for another use. Place your silverware in the remaining water and let it sit for an hour. Then remove the silverware and wash. The tarnish should have disappeared.
End Puffy Eyes
We all hate waking up in the morning and looking at our mug in the mirror. What are those puffy spots on your face? Oh yeah, those are your eyes. A little TLC is what you need. Apply slices of raw, cold potatoes to your eyes to make the puffiness go away.
Restore Beaten-Up Shoes
Try as you might, your old shoes are just too scuffed to take a shine anymore. They don’t have holes, and they are so nice and comfy that you hate to throw them away. Before you give them the brush-off, cut a potato in half and rub those old shoes with the raw potato. After that, polish them; they should come out nice and shiny.
