The little red ribbons are purely for cuteness.. I’m so glad I clued into this little trick!.

There’s a good reason for that too!This is a real problem for a lot of people!

I’ve tried the can opener trick and sadly, it didn’t work for me.I bet it does work, but you probably need a really specific type of can opener and it probably only works on certain shapes of packaging.And I just don’t know what those are!.

The other day I picked up two new knives on sale and they were both in clamshell packaging.I opened the first one up, the whole time thinking how ridiculous it was that I was using one sharp object (scissors) to try to get at another sharp object (the knife), all while creating a third sharp object (the sharp edges of the plastic).

And I could have slipped at any moment because cutting through that hard plastic with my kitchen scissors was definitely a struggle.

It was particularly ridiculous because I’ve cut myself pretty badly in the past doing exactly the same thing!One of the things I tried was this:.

It’s a wood and furniture polish that I applied with just a plain soft wash cloth that I use for cleaning!That’s what you need to be reaching for next time your appliances need a bit of a shine!

It cut right through those finger prints like nobody’s business.The kind of polish that I use is an eco-friendly polish.
