This is one of the extremely useful tips. Let’s explore it together.

After drinking mineral water or soft drinks, most people usually throw away the bottle. However, you can completely keep the bottle, clean it, and repurpose it for many household uses.

Clean plastic bottles can be used to store rice or grains. They help prevent moisture and keep rodents away. You can also transform them into pen holders, small plant pots, and more.

You can place a steel scrubber inside a plastic bottle. This is one of those clever tips that not everyone knows.

Steel scrubbers are items we use regularly to remove tough stains stuck to pots and pans. Because they are made of fine metal fibers, they can prick your hands, scratch your nails, and the oil and grease trapped inside can be unpleasant.

This problem can be solved easily with a plastic bottle.

You only need an empty plastic bottle (a small one, about 300–500 ml), scissors or a knife, a steel scrubber, and a short piece of string.

Use scissors or a knife to cut off the top part of the plastic bottle (we will use only a short section from the bottle neck).

Use scissors or a sharp object to make two holes in the bottle cap. To make it easier, you can heat a nail over a flame and then use it to pierce the holes in the cap.

Next, thread a piece of string through the steel scrubber.

Insert both the string and the scrubber into the cut section of the bottle, with the string end facing upward toward the bottle opening. Thread the string through the two holes you made in the cap and tie it securely.

And now you have a tool to scrub pots and pans. When washing, you only need to hold the plastic bottle section. This way, your hands won’t get dirty with grease or food, and you won’t have to worry about metal fibers poking your fingers.

After using it, simply rinse the scrubber to wash away food residue, then hang it up to drain.

With just a few simple steps, you have created a wonderful kitchen cleaning tool.

After some time of use, you should clean the steel scrubber. The method is very simple. Just hold the scrubber over a flame. The fire will burn off the accumulated residue and grease. Then dip the scrubber into a bowl of water and shake off the debris—that’s it.

Of course, after using it for a long time, you should replace it with a new steel scrubber.

As for old steel scrubbers, you can thread a string through them and attach them to the drain cover in the bathroom. Then insert the scrubber into the drain opening. This will help trap all small waste and hair so they won’t fall into the drainpipe. Additionally, this method prevents small insects from coming up through the drain.
