8 Old-Fashioned Life Hacks That Still Work Great Today

1. Use Bread to Clean Up Broken Glass
If you drop a glass and it shatters into tiny shards, don’t risk cutting yourself while cleaning up. Instead, grab a slice of soft bread (like white or wheat) and gently press it over the area. The bread will pick up even the tiniest fragments of glass, making cleanup safer and easier.

2. Prevent Brown Sugar from Hardening with a Slice of Apple
