Normal Things You Use Wrong Every Single Day
Android Control Panel
stop swiping down twice with one finger to reach your flashlight
and Wi-Fi swipe down with two fingers instead
it instantly expands your entire quick settings panel
in a fraction of a second
Cleaning Spray Bottles
stop wiping the liquid away immediately
it completely blocks the chemicals from killing bacteria
you must let it sit for 30 seconds of dwell time
to actually sanitize the surface
Ice Cream Scoops
cold metal scoop straight into a hard tub is difficult
and bends your wrist instead
dip the scoop in warm water
and shake off excess to slice through smoothly
like butter
Pet Food Bowls
stop topping off dry kibble day after day without scrubbing the dish
old food oils stick to the sides and turn completely rancid
breeding dangerous bacteria
wash them daily just like human dishes
Applying Sunscreen
stop putting sunscreen on right before stepping into the sun
sunscreen requires 20 minutes to chemically bond with your skin cells
without that wait time
your skin burns before the barrier even activates
