To eliminate odors from drains:

If the kitchen or bathroom is located near a septic tank, unbearable odors may rise through the drain, and only those who have experienced it can understand the discomfort. Here is a simple solution:
First, obtain a thin, cylindrical plastic bag that fits the drain trap and cut it to a length of about 30 cm.
Attach one end of the cut plastic to the drain trap and secure it tightly with a rubber band. Then, place the trap back into the drain.
Pour a bucket of water to make the plastic adhere to itself.
What happens when the plastic adheres? That’s right, the connection between the septic tank and the kitchen is blocked. Thus, no more odors can rise from the septic tank.

Prevent clogging of drainage pipes with old stockings:

Even with a drain trap in place, debris can sometimes slip through and clog the drainage pipe. To prevent this:
Place a piece of old stocking under the drain trap to catch debris.
Replace the stocking periodically.
This method is especially useful in apartments or homes with narrow drainage pipes, as it helps prevent clogs caused by debris.

Filling small holes in walls:

Small holes like nail marks can make walls look unsightly. Use homemade paper clay to repair them:
First, place a sufficient amount of tissue or newspaper in a bowl and soak it in water for a day.
Afterward, discard the water on top and knead the softened paper at the bottom into a pulp.
Use the paper clay to fill the hole, using an awl to press it in until it slightly protrudes.
Once dry, sand the area with fine sandpaper for a smooth finish. This method works for holes larger than nail marks as well.

Removing stains from wallpaper:

For light stains on wallpaper, use a rubber eraser or a piece of bread to clean it easily.
For grease stains or similar marks, apply baby powder to the area using a puff and dab it gently. Then, wipe with a clean cloth with some baby powder to remove the stain.
Baby powder in powder or ointment form can be easily purchased at a pharmacy.

Preventing water seepage in wooden window frames:

Wooden window frames can often absorb water during heavy rain, causing damage. To prevent this:
Apply linseed oil to the window frames in advance to block water penetration.
Additionally, waxing the wooden frames with a candle prevents dust from sticking, making cleaning easier.
