1. Soup Skimmer
To skim excess fat from soup without refrigerating it, fill a metal ladle with ice cubes and glide it along the surface a few times, wiping the ladle as needed. Excess fat will cling to the ladle's bottom (and not yours).
2. Soil Soaker
Water your plants without leaving them in the sink to drain by covering the surface of the soil with ice cubes. They'll gradually hydrate your Hedera (that's Ivy) as they melt.
3. Caulk Smoother
As you squeeze a new caulk line around a bathtub, run the corner of a cube behind it. The ice will create a clean edge without sticking.
4. Brow Soother
A few minutes before you tweeze, rub an ice cube over your brows to numb the skin, then dry. Post-plucking, ice again to minimize redness.
5. Disposal Scrubber
Run a handful of ice cubes and a pinch of baking soda through your garbage disposal. You'll get rid of the build-up grease on the blades and the leftover smell of.....leftover.
6. Handheld A/C
When the summer heat is stifling, hold a piece of ice on the underside of your wrist. As the blood flows, through that chilly pulse point, your body temperature will slowly drop.
