Here’s a tip on what you can do with rice washing water. Rich in starch, vitamins, and minerals, rice water can help clean, deodorize, and restore shine to many household items. To clean glass or mirrors, soak a soft cloth in rice water and gently wipe the surface. To deodorize and clean kitchen utensils, soak them in rice water for about 30 minutes, then rinse well. You can even soak metal spoons, forks, or knives overnight to remove stains and bring back their shine, just dry them with a soft cloth afterward. To make rice water for cleaning, soak one cup of white rice in three cups of clean water for 20 – 30 minutes and then swirl or stir vigorously for two minutes. The water will turn cloudy. Strain the liquid and keep the rice for cooking. Dip a cloth in the liquid and use it as needed. Avoid using basmati or brown rice, as they contain less starch. You can store extra rice water in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.

“Nice flowers. Where did you get them?”?!
