We all, with no exemption, men and women alike, young and old, smart and stupid, use too much soap when we bathe and wash our hands. It’s a fact, and this is why we should all wrap an elastic band around our soap dispensers. This is a great way to be careful with your soap usage, it’s a good way not to be wasteful.
Just wrap a rubber band around your soap dispenser so you don’t squeeze all your soap away. This will also save you some good money because you won’t run to the store weekly for a new bottle.
Hang Up Heavy Utensils Too
Once you've started sticking up hooks, you will find that you will have endless space. Now you can go out and add another piece to your kitchen essential collection. You can hang up bigger utensils like spatulas, strainers, larger spoons, ladles, and even larger hanging knives like cleavers and chef knives.
This can really take away the frustration of a messy kitchen, as there is nothing more annoying than trying to find something when you are just about to prepare something for dinner. It's also much easier to find. Just make sure you don't hang anything sharp in places children can reach.
Peg Down Your Toothbrush
Bathroom surfaces are a breeding ground for bacteria. If we could give you a microscope to see what was going on on those surfaces, you would find it hard to believe. It's best not to leave your things strewn on the counter, especially your toothbrush. That is one item you don't want to get infected with unwanted bacteria.
The best way to avoid this is simple. Stick a clothespeg on the counter and clip your toothbrush in there. This will hold your toothbrush in place and elevate it above the counter. Now you can brush your teeth with a clean brush and finally do something useful for a change.
Keep a Fitted Sheet in Place with Suspenders
Sometimes fitted sheets can just slip right off the corners of the bed, and you find yourself lying on a half-naked mattress in the morning. It's no use keeping them down yourself and believe us, we've tried, there nothing you can do about it except for this incredible hack!
To avoid this problem, just dig out a pair of suspenders. Simply clip them on each side of the bed on each corner with the suspenders, and your sheet will stay put for sure. You will never have to worry about keeping them down again (until you change your bedding, that is).
Trash Bags Sticking to the Trash Can? Just Drill a Hole
Nothing is more frustrating than removing a sticky garbage bag from the bin, only to discover that the poor bag is holding on to dear life. It's messy and kind of gross too, and always, but always, the bottom of the bag rips, and the trash is scattered all over the place instead of staying where it belongs.
Thankfully, with a bit of help from some household tools, you can solve this in a jiffy. All you have to do is drill a hole into the bottom of the trash can, and there you go. This gets rid of the vacuum-like seal that makes the bag stick to the floor of the can.
