Tips of the day



  1. Sometimes, scratches on furniture become very tough to repair for us. Rub mayonnaise into scratches on furniture with your finger, let it stand, and remove with a soft cloth. For a deep scratch, break a walnut or pecan meat in half, and rub the scratch with the broken side of the nut.
  2. Sunburn is for injurious for our skin. Make a paste of Haldi (Turmeric) with a little raw milk and lemon juice. Apply it on the skin; it will help in removing a tan.
