Since launching Little Home Hacks in early 2021, we have had a lot of interest and questions asking for help with some very common and sometimes annoying challenges at home. This blog post covers some of those frequently asked questions. Some of these you may know, some maybe new.
There is however one thing for certain, the Little Home Hacks listed below will definitely come in handy. We hope you put them to good use should any of these scenarios arise!
OUR TOP 10 HOME HACKS
1. Remove coffee stains from mugs
When your favorite ceramic cup contains a stubborn unsightly ring, squirt a little dish soap in it and add some baking soda for additional abrasion, then clean as usual.Â
2. Fill your dishwasher — but not with dishes
Plastic toys, toothbrush holders, and pet bowls are just a few of the items that can get clean the hands-off way.
3. Scoop up pet hair with a rubber glove
After you're through washing dishes, don't remove your damp gloves. Take a detour through the living room and quickly pick up errant fur.
4. Freshen up your microwave
Make caked-on grime easier to wipe off by heating a cup of water, several tablespoons of vinegar, and a chopped-up lemon on high until the microwave's window is steamy. Let the bowl sit for 5 minutes before you open the door, and wipe the inside clean with ease.
5. De-grease cabinets
Just like your cooking tools, cupboards can get grimy when you're making dinner. Add a little dish soap to a spray bottle with warm water to mist away the grease. Then, rinse with a well-wrung cloth and dry.
6. Get stains out of a cutting board
Run the cut side of a lemon over the board to remove food stains and smells. For extra cleaning power, sprinkle it with salt or baking soda first
7. Untangle a knotted necklace
Never waste time desperately tugging at tangled jewelry again. Loosen the knot by sprinkling a little baby powder on it and then using a pin to pull it apart.
8. Clear a slow drain
When you notice your drain is starting to clog, pour a 1/2 cup of baking soda down it, followed by a 1/2 cup of vinegar. Cover with a wet cloth to contain the science fair-like effects. Wait five minutes and then flush with hot water.
9. Put a tidy bath on autopilot
Shed expired and unused items as well as bulky packaging. Instead, store products in easy-in-and-out jars, bags, and baskets.
10. Fight pet stink
Deodorize the soft, cushy places around your house — including the dog bed — by sprinkling surfaces with baking soda, letting it sit for 15 minutes, and then vacuuming it up.
