Put your phone in rice

If your phone falls into the water, you can fix it. To do this, place your smartphone in a freezer bag filled with raw rice and remove the SIM card and battery. Leave the device in the rice bag for about two hours or more and then check to see if the phone works again. Please note that this method does not always work.

Take care of your coffee grinder

The taste of ground coffee is priceless, so it is reasonable enough to take care of your grinder. However, it can be quite difficult to clean because the mechanisms can be difficult to access. Rice grains will help to clean the grinder effectively, particularly because of their texture and size. They will also help get rid of the bitter smell of the oil that coffee beans give off.

To do this, add rice beans to the grinder instead of coffee beans, switch it on, and then use the brush to clean it.
