Wondering why you should have a constant supply of ice cubes when you seldom have a whisky on the rocks? Cooling down a sundowner or putting the cold into any other kind of drink, is just one of many uses for frozen water. Baxton Property Management in Hobart shares with you a number of unusual ways to justify the presence of at least a couple of full ice trays in your freezer at all times.
Baxton is not about to play doctor, and strongly recommends that using ice instead of seeing a doctor in the event of serious injury, is not be recommended. But most of us have heard from our grandmothers or mothers at least some of the healing properties of these ice-cold cubes.
Among these stories passed down by our elders were tips like using packs of ice (sometimes alternated with heat packs) to help relieve swelling and bruising. It’s also able to bring down the heat of minor burns to help prevent blistering or scarring.
But did you know that it can also be used to numb the area when one of the children has picked up a splinter? Then you can remove it with a pair of tweezers or needle without the usual sound track. Or that you can suggest your kids suck an ice-cube before taking a spoonful of medicine? Yes, ice comes to the rescue by numbing the taste buds so the medicine doesn’t taste so bad.
Sticky stuff: Another old wives’ tale that appears to work, is to use ice cubes to remove chewing gum from carpets and clothing, and even from your hair. Put the clothing in a large bowl and cover it with ice cubes. And if the gum’s on the carpet, put the cubes on top of it for a while. If it’s in your hair, it involves using a wash cloth to wrap some cubes round the sticky hair, and keeping it there long enough to freeze the gum. In all these instances, once the gum has frozen, you should be able to chip it away.
Cleaning bottles and coffee pots: Tall bottles or vases with narrow necks, and stained or scorched coffee pots can be really difficult to clean. Enter the cubed superhero. Use some ice cubes and add about a quarter cup of salt to the bottle or coffeepot. Leave the coffee pot to stand awhile, but rotate the bottle quickly for a while so a mini whirlpool results. Empty them out and rinse.
Baxton Property Management in Hobart likes to share nifty ideas that might interest the tenants who occupy their clients’ rental properties. Sometimes it’s fun stuff like how to use ice cubes, or the trays they are made in, in unusual ways, at others it’s serious material about tenants’ and owners’ rights and obligations. Keep your eye on the regularly posted Baxton blogs for more information.
