Really Useful: 12 Unexpected Ways to Use a Hair Dryer

On a birch coffee table, did someone leave a wet cup? Feng and professional Wedger Katie Kochun are eager to help! “Make sure the furniture is clean and dry, turn on the hair dryer at medium temperature, drive it over the marks in circular motions – Keep the device at a distance of 15-20 centimeters from the surface. As soon as the moisture evaporates from the finish and the ring disappears, apply a little varnish to restore the luster to the tree,” advises Catie.

Do you want to wipe every flower leaf on the windowsill or all the curls of the figurine obtained from great-grandmother? This is not necessary – use the cool hair dryer to blow dust off the silk lampshade, Bismarck bust or anything else that is difficult or impossible to clean with a damp cloth.

Have the kids painted the walls yet? This work of art is no problem. Katie recommends setting the hair dryer to medium heat and warming up the pencil marks for several seconds. When the wax softens, wipe it with a cloth, and if anything remains, wash the marks with a soap solution. This hack works with any other wax – for example, you can remove drips from that too-hard candle left on the furniture.

For example, a label on a new bowl, a patch or an old wallpaper – with a hair dryer, almost any glue will weaken with a hair dryer. “Using the average temperature, move the background along a small area of ​​​​the coating, then gently separate the wallpaper or tile from the surface,” advises the owner of the cleaning agency service.

Do you just want those particles of powder, shadows and blush that will last the whole party? “I use a cool hairdryer setting to blow all the excess cosmetics off my face after I finish applying makeup. It’s a great tool for the final ‘face clock,’” says makeup artist Mia Johnson.

The hair dryer will help turn the icing into a flawless mirror: apply it to the cake, then direct the flow of hot air and the sugar syrup will quickly warm up and immediately become and shiny, like in an expensive dessert from a dessert from an elite confectionery.

Does the new frame hug the head or slide? Heat the handle with a stream of hot air from the hair dryer and when they become flexible, bend it as you need. (This method is not suitable for expensive fashion executives, but if you bought new sunscreens instead of being forgotten at home right on the beach, then why not?)

This method will not work with a white shirt, but for knitted dresses and T-shirts it is perfect: they spray water from a spray gun, then blow with hot air from the hairdryer until all the wrinkles disappear.

There are no microwaves in hotel rooms, but hairdryers are almost everywhere. Of course, you can’t fry scrambled eggs on it, but it is quite possible to heat something ready-made, a sandwich or porridge. And also a stream of hot air is one of the best ways to turn yesterday’s pizza into a new one!
