The conditions of the USSR formed a lot of rather specific habits in society. All of them arose because of the difficult material situation and a special mentality. This we sometimes feel to this day, especially in everyday life.

The editorial staff of OBOZREVATEL collected a selection of three amazing kitchen habits of the USSR, which we now need to get rid of.

Laying oilcloth on the table

In the days of the USSR, even if in the interior such a design solution did not fit at all, there was always a kleeneka on the kitchen table. Such a tablecloth is very easy to wipe, and also fits tightly to the table. But the biggest advantage of oilcloth was its low price.

Washing the floor with old clothes

If a thing wore out and lost its marketable appearance - it was given a new life in the status of a rag. Pants, T-shirts, shirts and much more - all this was perfect for washing floors. And there were more and more of these things every time. But now there is no need for this, because there are many compact mops, which can perfectly cope with cleaning perfectly and do not take up a lot of space.

The habit of not throwing anything away, collecting junk in the kitchen

Various cups, containers, boxes, bags - during the Soviet Union in every kitchen there was more than enough of such "goodness". All this was kept in order to save money. People were convinced that a large number of various things and trinkets - a sign of frugality and comfortable life. But now, on the contrary, space in the house, getting rid of unnecessary garbage is more appreciated.
