Always present in cupboards or the fridge, certain foods delight our taste buds but can also be used for house maintenance, removing stains or preserving the garden.
Clean and disinfect with potatoes

Pour the hot liquid and rub, you will be surprised to note the washing, degreasing and disinfecting powers of starch-laden water. The technique, as simple as it is, is formidable against bacteria and encrusted dirt.
