How to get rid of oil stains on clothes or carpets

There are many products on the shelf that says, "Get stains off after wash!"

Well, that is when you do your laundry immediately before the oil substance absorb into the material. Moreover, you will have to buy that washing liquid to do so, which usually will cost you more than a normal detergent. However, I would recommend it if you ALWAYS get oil stains.

I have also heard that when you get stains, use baking soda to get rid of it. How the hell are you gonna get baking soda when you don't use it at home? But no doubt that it do work.

Here is a simpler and more cost effective way to get rid of occasional stains.

Yes, Baby Talcum powder (not necessarily the above brands). It's cheaper and can be use for other purposes.

Yes, it baby talcum powder has other usage besides getting babies comfortable and smell wonderful.

1. Pour a little on the oil stain. Remember to spread it evenly.

2. Wait for about 5 minutes for the oil to be absorbed.

3. Than take a damped cloth and rub it off. 

Just make sure you don't put any water on the stain before putting the powder. Liquid will only help the oil to absorb faster.

If you're home, just leave the powder on the clothes until you do your laundry.

How to get unbroken eggs from packaging in supermarkets.

I know many of us buy eggs from supermarkets like in Giants, Carrefore, ColdStorage and even from our residential grocery stores. Most of the time, the eggs comes in not too transparent packaging, especially those Omega eggs.

What pisses me off was when I get home, I find some of eggs  broken. I just almost got 1 tray yesterday. No signs of broken eggs at 1 glance, but when I tilted it to the side, my hands got sticky with egg whites. =P

Remember, not all packaging allows you to open and check.

What I did was:-

1. Gently turn the packaging slowly 180 degree (upside down) 

2. Look for fluids a.k.a egg whites. Sometimes, it doesn't appear on the packaging as the cracks are very fine.

3. Just in case, gently tilt it to the sides to look for leaks, which you will feel it eventually.

If you get nothing, than it is almost 100% the eggs are in good condition. 

And please check for printed date, if there are any. 

This will let you know how long the eggs have been on the shelf, which will allow you to judge how long will the eggs stay fresh.
