Non-standard use of a hair dryer

The usual use - drying hair - is not all that a hair dryer can do. This is just one of its functions, and not the most interesting. If you have a creative idea, the device will find use in the household as a vacuum cleaner, iron, dryer for panties and socks, in short - a universal thing. What other results can be achieved with the proper use of a hair dryer will be discussed today, and in some places shown.

To help the hostess

If you don’t have a microwave at hand, and you don’t want to eat cold food, you can easily get out of this situation with the help of a hairdryer. Having correctly selected the distance between the plate with food and the appliance, so that the hot air does not blow everything off the plate, quite quickly you can make the dish quite acceptable in temperature.

In a similar way you can defrost food. It happens that you simply forgot to take meat or fish out of the freezer, and lunch is almost here. What to do? Take out the hairdryer and start blowing. Magician Hakobyan said correctly - if you don’t blow, the trick won’t work.

If you urgently need to go somewhere, but the laundry is washed and doesn’t want to dry, it’s okay, no one asks him. The algorithm of actions is the same: point the hairdryer at the desired item, turn it on, wait.

If the old sticker does not want to come off properly, then you can get rid of it using the same hairdryer. You can also defeat the bactericidal patch so that it does not leave the skin along with the tuft of hair.The painful procedure ceases to be so if the patch is pre-heated and then removed.

If you need to iron a shirt, but don’t have an iron, it’s okay. The shirt is slightly moistened with a spray bottle and then dried with hot air. The result is that the clothes look like they’ve been ironed.

The keyboard, if you shake out the food crumbs and debris that have accumulated between the keys, will become one and a half times lighter. To simplify the task, the debris can be blown out with a stream of air - the result will be with less effort and no worse than banal shaking.

Note to craftswomen

If desired, you can significantly speed up the drying process of paints and varnishes.. A household hair dryer will not be able to compete with a construction hair dryer in performance, but it is quite suitable for drying small surfaces.

During the drying process, the main thing is not to overdo it - some paints or varnishes may warp under the influence of temperatures.

In addition, if the hair dryer raises dust or small crumbs during operation, there will be more harm than good. All the dust will settle on the paint and stick to it, so before turning on the device, you should make sure that the area around the drying area is relatively clean.

By the way, old paint and varnish come off well when exposed to strong heat, so if you need to restore old furniture but don’t want to use remover, a hairdryer can help.

Nail polish is not afraid of exposure to temperatures, and its drying time when treated with warm air is noticeably reduced. There is no point in telling beauty salon workers about this miraculous property, but if someone sets up a manicure salon at home, then the idea can be useful.

Vacuum cleaner from hair dryer

The design is simple but effective.A napkin-towel is placed on the hairdryer (from the “back” side) as a filter, secured, and a pre-cut upper part of a plastic bottle of a suitable diameter is placed on top and secured with tape.

If you wish, you can also use a bottle cap as a nozzle. It is heated with a lighter, then it is given a conical shape using a pencil and a hole is made in the top, after which the nozzle is screwed onto the neck of the cut bottle. It turns out to be a compact, but quite powerful vacuum cleaner for small particles.

Note to men

If necessary, unscrew a rusted and soured screw without tearing off the slot; it must be heated. As a result of heating, the metal expands and slightly changes shape, which destroys the rust coating on it. After cooling, the process will go much easier, and if, along with this measure, you use a lubricant, say, WD-40, then everything will work like clockwork.

You can make a twisted wire, if you spirally wind a wire around a pencil, pen, metal rod or something similar in shape, fix it in this position with tape or tape, and then warm it up with hot air. The result depends on the material from which the wire is made, and the trick is not always successful. But it's worth a try.

Here's my favorite use. When grilling kebabs, if the coals are already starting to cool, then you don’t have to blow on them yourself – it’s the twenty-first century, guys! A hairdryer is adapted for these purposes, and the second batch of shish kebab on the cooled coals will turn out to be completely fried.

There is no point in listing all the capabilities of a hair dryer; its properties seem to be clear; you can come up with a lot of variations on this theme. Someone dries carpets, someone removes chewing gum from clothes or grills kebabs using this device.It all depends on our imagination and the tasks facing us, The algorithm for using the device is similar everywhere: turn on, direct, heat, wait.
