When most people see sprouted potatoes, they tend to toss them straight into the trash. However, this action is quite wasteful because, although they can't be eaten, sprouted potatoes can still be used for other purposes. Below are some uses for sprouted potatoes:
- Cleaning the Kitchen After cooking, grease can easily stick to the kitchen surfaces, walls, and even the range hood. If not cleaned regularly, these stains can become stubborn, hard to remove, and unsightly.
If you have sprouted potatoes at home, you can use them to tackle this issue. The method is simple: just slice the potato into rounds, sprinkle a little salt on the surface, and gently rub it on the kitchen surfaces, range hood, etc.
-
Polishing Glass Glass items look very elegant but are prone to smudges or water stains, diminishing their appearance. To fix this, you can rub a sprouted potato on the glass surface. Then, use a clean, dry cloth to wipe it down, and the glass will shine like new.
-
Softening Leather Shoes When new, leather shoes can be quite stiff, causing discomfort to your feet. To soften them, simply rub a slice of sprouted potato around the new shoes. The natural sap in the potato will help make the leather softer, making your shoes more comfortable to wear.
