Genius Household Hacks, Secrets, And Gadgets That Will Blow Your Mind
Have you forgotten to put your cold drinks on a coaster one too many times? You probably have annoying water rings that you wish you could just get rid of. Turns out, you don’t need a wish, just a hairdryer. Set it to medium heat and hold it about two inches from the stain. It’ll go away in no time.
Most people just reserve old shirts for painting jobs, but sometimes you might not have access to one. Or maybe you just were overconfident and got paint on a shirt you actually wanted to keep. As it turns out, a razor blade can actually be used to get those annoying paint stains off your clothes. Scrape along the surface with the razor and you’ll see how easy it is to remove. Adding some glass cleaner to the blade makes it even more effective.
Using coffee grinders is a common device used to prepare one’s early morning beverage. But they can get pretty dirty pretty quickly if not maintained. Not to mention the smell. Fortunately, you can help keep it clean with uncooked rice. Grind the rice and leave it for a few hours. The smell will be gone.
If you have ceiling fans, you know how dusty they can get. Especially during the seasons where you want to stay warm instead of cool. Well, during those off-seasons, you can cover the blades with a pillowcase. It stops dust from collecting in the first place and call also be used as a wipe to clean the dust off.
Irons have a lot of uses in a household actually. Turns out getting rid of carpet stains is one of them. Just use a tiny bit of ammonia on the stain in question and then run your iron over it. Don’t use it directly on the carpet though, use a cloth or some kind of sheet.
Many people resort to classic paper towels in order to make their windows and mirrors as shiny as possible. However, there is reportedly a more effective alternative that might be quite surprising to home-cleaning aficionados – newspapers. Not only does it do just as good a job, but a soy ink newspaper won’t leave traces of lint or streak the glass surface. Remember, you also get to read it before using it as a cleaning device, killing two birds with one newspaper!
If you have kids, or are a young-hearted adult, you most certainly have Play-Doh in the house. And that Play-Doh can be a real big ally if your kids (or yourself) are big fans of glitter. It’s actually the perfect material for picking up glitter. And that’s excellent, considering how annoying glitter can get when it spreads everywhere.
You might try wiping dust or using a damp paper towel to clean off your computer, but that’s not the best way to do that. One of the best products to use is white vinegar. You can scrub your keyboard and the screen (wipe in a circular motion) using a microfiber cloth. It’ll have your laptop looking good as new in no time.
Baking soda is probably the most useful product when it comes to household life hacks. For example, it can really handle those mildew buildups in your bathroom. Combine the baking soda with some water, form a paste, and use a brush to clean it off. Your bathroom will be clean in no time.
