Diwali Diya Reuse Ideas: Diwali is not just a festival but a beautiful occasion to fill our home, minds and relationships with light. The lighting lanterns at this festival is an age-old tradition that is performed every year. Small earthen lamps (diyas) are lit in every house. But when the festival is over, these lamps remain lying in the corner or are thrown directly into the garbage. It is common to think that these burned out bulbs are useless, but have you ever thought about how useful these abandoned bulbs are for you? If you reuse them wisely, they will not only save your effort and time but will also help you in daily tasks. Today we will tell you an easy home remedy, using which you can reuse leftover lamps and make them a useful and long-lasting cleaning tool. This method is not only better for the environment, but it is also economical for your budget.
An easy way to clean lamps
1. Collect the lights: First, keep all the remaining Diwali lights in one place. Remove the wick from it, and if some oil remains, take it out and keep it in a separate bowl.
2. Use flour, not waves, to clean: Since the bulbs are very soft, they get foamy when washed with waves and have to be watered again and again. Alternatively, take some dry flour and rub it on the bulbs. This will remove the oil and there will be no need to wash again and again.
3. Wash them with hot water: Now immerse these bulbs in lukewarm water. The flour will be removed immediately, and the bulbs will become completely clean. Dry them one by one – in the sun or under a fan.
