According to plant expert Nicole Jacques, cutting your store-bought flowers underwater instead of in the air can prolong their life for up to two weeks. This is because when you cut a flower stem in the open air, the exposed cut can draw air up instead of water. The air can then form a blockage within the stem’s xylem, which prevents the flower from siphoning water properly and causes it to wilt. By cutting the flowers underwater, you reduce the risk of air pockets and allow the flowers to absorb water right away.

Professional cleaning experts have revealed a surprising tip for getting your windows sparkling clean – using old tea bags. The best part is that it’s practically free if you are a tea drinker, and costs a maximum of 4p if you aren’t.

All you have to do is save your used tea bags in an airtight tub throughout the week and pop them in the fridge until you have enough. To make the tea spray window cleaner, you will need three to four saved black tea bags, one large cup of freshly boiled water, and one spray bottle. Simply add the tea bags to a glass or bowl, pour the hot water over them, and let it steep for five to 10 minutes until the tea turns a dark amber color. Then, carefully pour the liquid into the spray bottle and allow it to cool before using.
