Here are some clever DIY life hacks to make life easier and more organized:
1. Binder Clips for Cable Management
- Use binder clips on the edge of your desk to organize cables. Just thread each cable through the clip’s metal handle, and it’ll keep them from tangling.
2. Shower Cap Shoe Covers
- Packing shoes in your luggage? Wrap them in a shower cap to keep the soles from touching your clothes. It’s a simple, reusable solution!
3. Toothpaste for Headlight Cleaning
- Dull headlights? Toothpaste works as a quick polish. Apply it to the headlights, scrub in circular motions, and rinse it off with water. They’ll be noticeably brighter!
4. Rubber Band Paint Can Trick
- Stretch a rubber band around an open paint can from top to bottom. You can use it to wipe excess paint off your brush without making a mess on the can’s rim.
5. Towel Under the Door for Instant Draft Block
- To block out cold air or odors, roll up a towel and place it along the bottom of a drafty door.
6. Re-purpose Toilet Paper Rolls for Cord Storage
- Place rolled-up cables inside empty toilet paper rolls to prevent them from tangling in storage. Label each roll for easy access.
7. Aluminum Foil as Funnel Substitute
- Need a funnel but don’t have one? Shape a piece of aluminum foil into a cone for an easy disposable funnel.
8. Ice Cubes to Remove Carpet Dents
- If moving furniture leaves dents in the carpet, place an ice cube on each dent. As it melts, the carpet fibers will rise again. Blot with a towel to dry.
9. Bobby Pins to Seal Snack Bags
- Lost a chip clip? Use bobby pins to securely seal snack bags and keep food fresh.
10. DIY Citrus Air Freshener
- Place a few citrus peels in a pot of water on the stove, bring to a simmer, and enjoy the natural fragrance. Add cinnamon or cloves for a warm, cozy scent.
These quick hacks are practical, save money, and use common items in creative ways!
