Olive oil helps repair split ends.

In this case, you should rub a little oil in the palm of your hand and gently apply it to the ends of the hair.

If your hair is dry, it is recommended to take a hot oil bath for hair, leave it for at least 30 minutes, and then wash it with warm water and shampoo.

pearl polishing

Pearl earrings or necklaces lose their luster over time, so they should be cleaned and polished regularly.

But care must be taken when doing this at home because some cleaning products are counterproductive, so it is usually recommended to polish the pearls with olive oil, by putting drops of it on a soft cloth and rubbing the pearls with it.

silver polishing

It is normal for the luster of silverware and jewelry to fade.

Although olive oil does not prevent the fading of the silver pieces, it slows down the occurrence of this.

Simply put a few drops of the oil on a soft cloth and polish the silver with it, which will help slow down the oxidation process.

Keep the razor sharp

High quality razors are notoriously expensive, so we do everything we can to make them last as long as possible.

It has been shown that wiping the blade with a cloth dipped in olive oil protects it from corrosion and rust.

Remove stickers from any surface

Kids love to put stickers on the fridge door, and removing them can be difficult sometimes.

Attempting to remove these stickers using nails may break one of them or peel off the nail polish, while using a razor blade or a sharp knife will damage the surface of the device.

The solution lies in olive oil, as putting drops of it on the adhesive paper and leaving it for about 15 minutes will remove it easily, and then you have to clean the surface with a sponge.

Leather shoe polish

When the color of leather shoes becomes dull, the first thing we think about is throwing them and buying new shoes, and many are unaware that a few drops of olive oil will restore the leather of the shoes to its luster.

All you have to do is pour a few drops of olive oil onto a soft cloth and scrub the shoes with it well.

The oil will restore the shine of leather shoes, and the same method can be used to polish rubber shoes.

It should be noted that olive oil can spoil suede, so it is not recommended to use it to clean suede or canvas shoes.

Zipper Lubrication

It may happen that the zipper gets stuck in one of the clothes and we throw it away thinking that it is no longer suitable for wearing.

In this case, olive oil helps to solve this common problem, and all you have to do is dip a piece of cotton in olive oil and rub it over the zipper, leaving it for a minute before opening or closing it.

Besides being able to polish stainless steel equipment, olive oil helps prevent fading and protects it from corrosion.

All you have to do is put drops of olive oil on a soft cloth and rub the surface of the device with it.
