Ten Household Quick Ideas

Drawers

Here are some household quick ideas to keep the house in shape :

1. Avoid soap wastage by pressing a soft drink bottle top into the center of the soap. Since it rests on this, surplus water drains off and the soap stays dry.

2. A rusted lock will usually work if you will oil the key rather than the lock.

3. Keep soap dishes from becoming messy with soap residue, by lining them with a piece foam of rubber or sponge cut to the exact size of the dish. The soap rests on this and stays dry.

4. Save leftover bits of soap in a jar. When half full, fill up the rest of the jar with boiling water. The resulting jelly is ideal for washing dishes and glasses.

5. If drawers don’t open, rub some soap or candle wax along the edges.

6. The inside of a drawer is easier to clean if it is given a coat of varnish.

7. Eau de Cologne is ideal for cleaning spectacles. Put a few drops on a soft cloth and polish the grass and frame. It removes grease and spots.

8. To prevent floors from getting scratched while moving heavy furniture, put socks on the legs of the furniture.

9. Remove crayon marks from wallpaper, gently rub a piece of very fine sandpaper.

10. To remove paint from glass windows, use hot vinegar.
