What’s your go to solution for a problem that happens?

With me, the most basic, is anything tech based…turn it off and on again. 99% of the time, it works!

Washing up liquid on stains!

This. It deals with every stain known to man (providing you haven't washed the item already) including oil and tumeric

If you make something too spicy, add some cream/coconut milk to dampen it down.

Clean your windows with furniture polish and a microfiber cloth, takes seconds and it's real easy to buff out the streaks (and can freshen up a stale smelling room if you are suddenly expecting company).

If you've scuffed a pair of black shoes and you need them in a hurry, use a bit of sharpie to colour it in.

Use a peg to close packets etc.
Clean stove glass with newspaper and ash from fire, cleans it perfectly every time.

That freezing an item of clothing that chewing gum is stuck to really does make it easy to remove. The first time I tried this,I was sceptical,but hey,it really works!
