Everyone knows how to use sandpaper, which is to use it to make the surface of items smoother, rougher, or remove old surfaces, such as paint layers. Perhaps you may not know that a cheap sandpaper can be used on most household items last week, so when you have excess sandpaper, do not throw it away as it can create more value.


(1) Opening glass cans


When you buy a bottle of canned fruit from the supermarket, but you can't open the lid of the glass can with your hand, the use of sandpaper is to increase the friction between your hand and the lid of the can. This way, you can easily open those tightly twisted glass cans. You can store some sandpaper somewhere at home, and when you need to open the lid of the fruit can, it is easy to find.


(2) Polishing the sole of the shoe


Some shoes have anti slip soles, which can ensure that you won't slip on lubricated surfaces during winter. However, many shoes do not have anti slip soles, such as leather shoes and sneakers, which are completely lubricated soles. This makes it difficult for you to walk on lubricated surfaces without slipping. What should you do? It's very simple, you just need to use sandpaper to polish the soles of your shoes rough, and your shoes will become anti slip.


(3) Polishing a black pot


A pot that has been used for a long time will form a black oxide layer on the surface, and the iron pot will also rust. What should we do? That's right, use sandpaper to polish the pot, and you will find that your pot has become as shiny and shiny as new. You will be happy to continue using it instead of throwing it away and replacing it with a new one.


(4) Sweater Pilling


Your sweater will start pilling after being put into the washing machine several times, and these balls will make it old and untidy. In fact, this is a simple solution. All you need is, you guessed it right, that's right, a piece of sandpaper. Gently wipe your sweater with sandpaper, remember to gently and in one direction, and you will find that all the balls have been wiped off. Let's see if your sweater is as good as new.


(5) Grinding scissors


If you use scissors for a long time, they will become dull and no longer sharp, or there may be various residues sticking to them. You may consider throwing them away, but as long as you have a piece of sandpaper, the outcome will become different. Rubbing a piece of sandpaper a few times can remove the residues on the scissors, and it can also make the scissors sharp.
