Very easy way to remove tempered glass screen protector

Nowadays tempered glass screen protector is one of the must-have items for smart phone to keep your phone fine.

It is very strong against scratches and thankfully when the screen was impacted, it absorbs instead of broken.

But the tempered glass screen protector will be turned a troublesome when you remove it. It is kind of GLASS so when it is broken it is sharp and hassle to handle.

So here is the easiest way to remove the tempered glass screen protector that I know and I do.
(Link for How to Video)

To do this, what you need is a toothpick or a plastic straw.

I do this with a plastic straw.
First, let us attack the slight gap between phone screen and the screen protector film.


Start

As you can see the picture above, luckily my case I have a crevice at the red arrow. Then push your tool into the gap as possible as much.
If there is no chance, then you can make using your nail or a plastic card such as a name card(see the picture below).


make a gap

I used my nail to make the space to put into. When do this, please do carefully! Because if the tempered glass screen protector breaks, the thing will get tired.



Now explore the between-land. Slowly put the straw into the gap and then you can see that the film seperates from the screen. Don't be hurry! The more the tempered glass screen protector damaged the harder the work will be.


Scattered glass

I did slowly and carefully but the glass broke. When the glass is scattered, use a tape to keep them from going to everywhere.



Done! Without any damage or scratch on the smartphone screen, I removed the tempered glass screen protector. The tools I recommended are not sharp and weaker than the screen glass so they are hard to make damages on the screen glass.


Watch the video below to make this easier.

Don't miss HomePlus payment-error reward

Homeplus is one of the largest retail chains such as walmart or woolworth in South Korea. And we also have E-mart, Lotte mart, costco and etc.

There is a customer service center at every Homeplus usually and you can have a help from the staff there.

This time I introduce 'Home Plus payment-error reward' which is if you discover something wrong at your payment, you can have the reward from Homeplus.


Homeplus Customer Service Center

Few days ago, I bought 5+1 cup-ramen that means when you buy 5 of it, you can get free one of it. But the POS system missed it. I don't know the reason exactly. Anyway, I found out it from receipt so I went the customer service center to get the reward and my money back.

Let us look at the wrong receipt first.


Receipt

Item No. 7 to 9 are the event items and I bought 6 of them so I would have got 1 free. But the system didn't reflect it.
I went to the customer service center so.  And I said to the staff to check my receipt and then she checked and went the cashier to make sure the fact. And she did calculate my goods again and she gave the new receipt to me and also the difference.


Receipt changed

As you can see above the picture, the item No. 7 and 8 were changed and below the 8 there was event-adapted discount.


Gift card

And they gave me the gift card that was 5,000 won worth.

If you just said the payment-error to a cashier, you might not get the gift card. Because the cashier don't have an authority of the reward.
And also they don't mention about the reward system so you should go to the customer service center to get the reward.

How to remove Kimchi smell from a food container in Eco-friendly way

Kim-chi is one of the famous Korean food and many people love to eat Kimchi and some of them love to make/cook Kimchi themselves.

And some days ago, I read a article about how to keep Kimchi well and it said the best way to contain kimchi is putting it into a plastic container.
There is a problem when you put kimchi into plastic containers, the problem is that the kimchi smell is retained in the container even after washing the plastic container several times.


Now let's find out how to remove kimchi smell from a plastic container eco-friendly.


1. Use sugar

Sugar

I think this is the easiest way that we can try to remove any odor.
First, make solution of sugar and water. The ratio of sugar and water can be 1:2 or 1:3. The more sugar it has, the better. And put the sugar water into the container fully, then keep it one or two days. The sugar in the water will absorb the Kimchi smell.

2. Solar power! Sunlight.

Sunlight can be the best disinfectant and also be a deodorant.
It is also very easy. Just washing the plastic containers and expose them into the sun. The natural power will remove the Kimchi smell. Actually this way was what my mother did when I was a kid.
This is quite useful but I don't think it is to plastic containers. Because UV and heat from sunshine can be destroyed the plastic chemically and the damaged plastic can be harm to your health.



3. All-purpose detergent: Baking Soda

Baking Soda


Recently, Baking Soda is used such as environment friendly multi-cleaner. It can be applied for washing dishes, cleaing vegitables and even removing chemicals.
This versatile detergent is soluble in water, and the alkali solution will get rid of germs and food particles on the plastic surface that can be hardly removed by general washing.

Put the plastic container into the baking soda water for 30 minutes or more until the odor disappeared.

4. Wheat flour

Flour 
This is also easy way to deodorize the Kimchi smell. Put the wheat flour into water and stir till the powder and the water well mixed. And fill the plastic container with the water fully and then close the lid. Then keep the plastic container into the refrigerator for a day or more.
The flour partcles in the water will absorb the smell.


5. Eco-friendly disinfectant: Vinegar 
Vinegar 

Like Baking Soda, vinegar is an environmental friend and we all have it in the kitchen cabinet.
The ability of vinegar to kill germs and bacteria removes the odors created by them.
Make vinegar solution with 2: 1 ratio of vinegar and water.
Such as other methods above, fill the solution into the container and leave it for a day or more.


Additionally, we can find other ways to deodorize the Kimchi smell away. Like as using coffee grounds, peel of onion and etc. But I do not think they do work.

So let us try the above method and to combinate them to increase the effectiveness. They will work out well.

AND there are two main causes of odor, food residues and bacteria. Normally, the smell is generated by the growth of germs in the food residue left on the surface. If you clean and disinfect in the usual environmentally friendly way, you will be able to live cleaner life without the smell.
