We want to know they love us unconditionally because we love them as much as humanly possible. That love isn’t just because they’re grandma and it’s ingrained into our DNA. No the reality is there are very specific reasons why grandma is the most important woman in your life.

1. She loves you more than she loves her own children

The love grandmas feel for their grandchildren is sometimes even bigger than the love they feel for their own child. She will go above and beyond to make them happy because her love is so pure and unconditional that nothing can stop her.

2. She cooks the best meals

It is probably because of the long traditions that were passed down from generation to generation. Or maybe because of the patience and love she invests when preparing the meals for those she loves most.

3. Nobody cleans up a mess like she does

Mom is furious when she sees your messy room, but grandma is here to save the day. Grandma’s know how to take out even the most stubborn stains and will even teach you how to properly organize and clean your stuff. She also knows how to quickly put you in bed without any resistance.

4. She is a woman with style

Although the clothes your grandma wears right now seem outdated, they were very stylish at some point in the past. She no longer worries about the latest fashion trends so she is not that into keeping up. But that doesn’t mean she doesn’t have any sense of style. She can give you advice on what clothe suit you well or how to combine certain clothes.

5. She is always there for the family

Grandmothers are usually the ones who clean up the tables after a family meal. They are also the ones who work the hardest during the preparation of those meals. And regardless of everyone’s insisting on helping her, she will always be glad to do most of the work.

6. She listens to you

Your parents might be too busy with their careers so that they can’t pay enough attention to you. That doesn’t mean they don’t love you, but they will never listen like grandma does. She will be the one you go to when something great happens or when you had a bad day. She will never be annoyed by anything you say because she understands it is something you can’t control and that it will go away. She will support you and also give you great advice.

7. She spoils her grandchildren

Grandmothers might have been very strict parents but once they get grandchildren they turn into a spoiling machine. They immediately fulfill any wishes their grandkids have such as making their favorite meal or buying the favorite toy. This will not stop even when you get older because in her eyes you will always be her sweet young grandchild.

Flour To The Rescue

Spilled oil on the floor or counter? Take a deep breath and don’t panic—it will be okay. Just sprinkle some flour immediately on the oil stain and wipe it off with a sponge after some time.

The floor will absorb all the oil and prevent any staining.

Did You Know Leather Was Lactose Tolerant?

Have your imported leather handbags faded a bit over time? Then you just need some milk and a soft cloth. Dip the cloth in milk and polish your leather with it. It’s going to look glossy and beautiful again!

Coz Everyone Likes Vanilla!

That pleasant fragrance I mentioned in the beginning of the article was vanilla’s! There is always a sense of nostalgia associated to the scent of vanilla essence.

Relive your childhood again by dipping cotton balls in vanilla essence and placing them in different parts of your home. You can even wipe cold bulbs with vanilla essence—when they heat up, your home is going to smell as if someone is baking a delicious cake!

Borax For Clean Spaces!

Introducing the newest member to the list of cleaning supplies- borax. It can single-handedly clean tiles, sinks, etc. when sprinkled on the surface and scrubbed with a damp sponge. You can also use borax to get rid of laundry odor and tough stains.

 Improve Your Soups With Vegetable Broth

Never throw away the leftover water you get after boiling veggies. Store it in the freezer and reuse it to boil veggies the next time. When this is done a number of times, you’ll get yourself a vegetable broth! This can be added to sauces and soups to improve their taste.

Shoe Polish As A Varnish

Do you ever wonder how did grandma managed to keep her wooden furniture looking new all the time? It was shoe polish that she used for this hack.

With the help of a cloth, wax your wooden furniture with shoe polish to keep it looking classy always. This can also mask any scuffs on scratches on the furniture.

Citrus For The Win

Citrus is beneficial in all forms—both lemon and grapefruit are equally efficient when it comes to cleaning.

Combine salt with these and it can do wonders. For example, your greasy sink can become smooth if you scrub it with a half-cut grapefruit or lemon with salt sprinkled on it.

Cold Candle Wax Breaks Faster

Removing hardened candle wax can be messy and tiring. But there’s a hack from grandma that’s going to make this process easier.

Put some ice cubes in a zip lock bag and keep it over the wax. Chilled wax is much easier to get rid of.

Steaming- An Alternative To Scrubbing

Got burnt food stuck to the pan? Boil some water in a pot or saucepan and then hold your dirty utensils over the steam. This will loosen the food particles and make them easy to clean. No more soaking and scrubbing and toiling away!.

Scratches On Wood? Not A problem!

Grandma was never upset with me banging the forks or spoons on her nicely polished dining table (my mother never let me hear the end of it though). Grandma had a trick up her sleeve for dealing with such mishaps—pecan nuts!

Rubbing a pecan nut over the scratches will fix all the problems—its oil has the power to re-stain the wooden surface.

No wonder I didn’t hear an earful from grandma.

Waste Is A Big No

I always had to follow a ‘No Waste Policy’ when living at Grandma’s. She never entertained the idea of using paper towels. Homemade rags of microfiber took the place of paper towels in almost every cleaning domain.

Microfiber rags are also easier to launder and they dry fast too. So go ahead and ditch those paper towels.

 

Your Whites Don’t Mind A Lemonade

It’s always hard to see your favorite whites fade. But, my Grandma’s collection of white sheets still look as good as new! How does she maintain them like that? She surely had superpowers.

Or maybe, she knows how to effectively use the raw kitchen ingredients.

Squeeze the juice of a lemon into hot water and soak your whites in it for about two hours. Then, rinse them and dry them in the sun. Easy!

All Hail Helios

My Grandma was never fond of professional cleaning. I still remember her referring to them as “useless fancy trends.” She had her own cleaning techniques for all the pillows, rugs, and comforters. I often saw her hanging all these things in the sun and sprinkling them with some vinegar-water solution.

Sunlight is the best sterilizer, according to her!

Let Your Walls Go Tipsy

Drawing is a hobby loved by almost every kid—and the canvas ranges from floors to walls to doors and wherever your tiny tots can reach. And the crayon and ink stains can give the parents a hard time while cleaning.

But you can’t let your kids stop having all this fun! So, here’s grandma’s secret tip—use rubbing alcohol to get rid of crayon and ink marks from walls and clothes.

Decide A Laundry Day

Laundry can be draining if you try to do it along with the rest of your everyday chores.

Instead of doing laundry every day, select a day for it, and aim to finish everything that very day. The rest of the chores can be taken care of by other family members for a day.

Reuse Old Clothes As Rags

I’m pretty sure all of you have clothes that you’ve outgrown. Time to repurpose them! Convert them into rags by cutting them into squares and using them for various cleaning purposes.

We still follow this ‘No Waste Policy’ at our place.

Formulate A Window Cleaner

I’m going to share a special window cleaner recipe with you (this is confidential information, do not share it with your envious guests!).

Take rubbing alcohol, vinegar, and water in equal parts and add a few drops of essential oils. You just made the best window cleaner! Your windows are going to be streak-free and spotless after using this solution.

 Give Your Linens A Makeover With Tea Bags

Thinking of tossing away your faded linens? Grandma will frown if she gets to know this decision.

Just tea-stain your linens instead of throwing them away! Boil tea bags in water till it reaches a reddish-brown tint. Now remove the tea bags and dip your linens in the boiled water. Leave them until they become a creamy-brown color. Then, set them to dry and rinse in cold water.
