Expired Milk (过期牛奶之用途)

Look at the expiry date printed on this tetra packed milk. Picture was taken last weekend, and it has been way past due... to be honest, the milk is still in my fridge. What will I do with it?


After google'ing for a week, here's what I gathered and could share around.

According to The Greenists here, it can be poured into the toilet bowl, in which its enzyme will break down the content of tank. It is good for compose too.. make sense since it has enzyme. Watering rose plant can be an idea too...Not bad, it is equally the same from what I searched through from Chinese websites. By the way, if you have a bucket full of expired milk, probably worth trying to take a milk bath!

A Chinese site listed down the benefit of milk, which includes expired milk here.

过期牛奶的妙用

  牛奶在开启包装以后,如放置时间过长,就会变质且不能食用,然而过期变质的牛奶依然有利用价值。

  利用过期牛奶擦拭皮鞋先用刷子刷掉鞋面上的污垢,再用纱布蘸上发酸的牛奶均匀地涂抹在鞋面上,等到干了以后用干布擦拭,鞋面可光亮如新,还能防止皮面干裂。

  利用过期牛奶擦拭复合地板将清水倒入变酸的牛奶中充分稀释,然后滴在地板上,用毛巾擦拭,地板可光亮如初。

  利用过期牛奶除去衣服上的墨迹先用清水把衣服清洗一下,再倒入变质的牛奶轻轻揉洗,可除去衣服上的墨迹。

  利用过期牛奶滋润肌肤如果牛奶刚过期,没有任何变质的现象,可以用它来洗脸,滋润肌肤。

  利用过期牛奶擦拭皮质家具如果过期牛奶已有少许沉淀,但气味并没有改变,可以用它擦拭皮质家具,能使皮质家具恢复光泽,同时还能修复小的裂痕。

  利用过期牛奶浇花如果过期牛奶已结块并有了明显的酸腐味,这时可用它来浇花,为了避免不好的味道产生,可以在花土中挖一个小坑,把过期牛奶埋进去。

  利用快过期的鲜奶煮菜快超过食用期限的鲜奶,不适合生饮,可用小火加热煮沸,放凉后加到菜肴或点心中,也可和蛋液混合用来做吐司,或者放入鱼汤或浓汤里。

For the benefit of others, let me translate them as below :

1) Making use of expired milk as shooting cream for leather goods, i.e. shoes. Clear up dusk on your leather shoe with a piece of cloth; apply milk on the leather; finally wipe them off. It could prevent leather from hardening and crack.

2) Dilute harden expired milk with water; it is good for maintaining your wooden flooring.

3) Remove ink stain on your cloth; pour the milk on your stained cloth, rub it before wash.

4) Same as #1 above, it is useful to maintain leather products, like sofas.

5) Water the plant; it is something to do with composing and enzymes.

6) Cooking; it needs to be heated with lower temperature, then mixed with egg for toast bread or add-on into fish soups.

So.. is it worth to know the use of an expired milk. Don't waste, sure there is good way of handling waste.
