Why should you put a balloon on your broom? Homemade trick

---

Did you know that a simple balloon can solve several problems in your home? Here are some clever tricks to help you get the most out of birthday balloons.

These tips are easy to implement and will surprise you with their effectiveness.

Trick 1: Broomstick Repair

1. Problem: If your broom or broomstick doesn’t fit properly, you can fix it with a balloon.
2. Materials: Birthday balloon (or “beiga” as they say in some places).
3. Procedure:
   • Cut a piece of the balloon with scissors.
   • Place the piece of balloon on the part of the broomstick that you need to fit.
   • If a single piece is not enough, cut off another piece and wrap it until the fit is perfect.
   • Snap the broomstick into place and make sure it fits snugly.
4. Result: The balloon acts like a rubber band that tightens the broomstick firmly, preventing it from falling apart while you sweep.

Trick 2: Preventing Bad Odors in the Drain

1. Problem: Bad smells and cockroaches in the drain.
2. Materials: Balloon and scissors.
3. Procedure:
   • Cut both ends of the balloon.
   • Place the balloon on the drain grill, completely covering the surface.
4. Result: The balloon allows water to pass freely, but closes automatically when there is no flow, preventing bad odors and cockroaches from coming out of the drain. In addition, it is an aesthetic solution that keeps your bathroom cleaner and more pleasant.

Trick 3: Jet Adapter for the Key

1. Problem: You need a directed stream of water in your sink.
2. Materials: Balloon, plastic bottle and scissors (or scalpel).
3. Procedure:
   • Place the balloon in the mouth of the faucet.
   • Cut off the top of a plastic bottle.
   • Open the balloon and fit the bottle piece into the balloon.
4. Upgrade: If you want a finer stream, pierce the bottle cap with a few holes using a hot fork.
5. Result: You’ll have a targeted jet that you can use to wash dishes, fill containers, or clean more efficiently. The lid with holes allows the water to come out in several jets, facilitating washing.

These balloon tricks are easy to perform and very useful for solving common problems at home.
