6 Surprising Uses for Sugar
4. Remove grass stains from your clothes
Grass stains on clothes can be difficult to remove even after putting them in the washing machine. Take two cupfuls of sugar and boil it with water to make a sticky sugary solution. Apply this solution on the stain, leave it for half an hour and wash it off. You can also try using a sugar and water solution for other stains.
5. Make a sugar based insect trap
Getting rid of insects like wasps and flies can be made easy without spraying smelly insect repellents in your house. Boil sugar and water to make a solution and store it in an open container. Place this container in a corner of your house which is prone to insects. The next day you will see insects trapped in the solution as they get attracted by the sweetness and fragrance of sugar. The insects will get stuck in the sticky texture of the mixture. In the case of cockroaches, you can mix sugar and baking soda and sprinkle them in areas where you find these insects.
6. Light a quick fire
You might have faced an embarrassing situation of being on a campsite and not being able to light a campfire easily. Sometimes, wood can be difficult to burn if it is slightly wet or has traces of moisture. To save yourself from such embarrassment, add a handful of sugar on wood that you are trying to burn. The fuel will catch fire faster and chances are, that it may burn for a longer period of time.
