The harsh weather conditions during the winter can leave your shoes completely soaked. Since it’s colder this also means that they will take a lot longer to dry. Some suggest throwing them in the dryer, but that doesn’t always work. The dryer can shrink or damage the shoes and it also uses up a lot of energy.
A quick tip that practically costs nothing is to soak up all the water with newspaper. You can crinkle it up and place it inside or wrap it around the top of the shoes.
The Best Direction To Park
If the sun sets in the west that means it rises in the east. When you park your car for the night during winter it’s better to do it facing east. This way the sun will hit it as it’s rising in the morning and will melt any ice or snow that may have formed during the night.
This will also help to heat up your car for your morning commute. If it’s hard to tell which way is east most smartphones have built in compasses that can show you which way to park.
Detect The Draft
If your home feels cold, and you don’t know why, you’ll want to locate a draft. There’s no easier way to do that than by using a candle. Although it may sound medieval, a candle flame flickering is the most surefire way to locate a draft.
If your windows are open by just a crack, they’ll let in a draft that will drop the temperature in your home. Wherever the candle leans, look the opposite direction. Then prevent the wind from chilling your home.
