11 housekeeping tips that are worth remembering
Doing unforeseen tasks and chores can waste our precious time, on top of all the other things we have to do. And these annoyances add to our already big housekeeping burdens. Being able to save time and effort, therefore, becomes a priority and some hacks and tips can help us out doing this.
From methods to do annoying cleaning chores without too much effort, to those to speed up problems we encounter when travelling, here are some great tips to make your life easier:
If you want to cut your nails without having to worry about picking up the pieces, just line the ends of the clipper with adhesive tape!
No more tangled necklaces: put individual chains in the compartments of a pill holder. A convenient remedy for when travelling.
And if you didn't leave on your trip with a jewelery box, you can use a towel and some adhesive tape. In this way, your chains, bracelets, anklets, etc will remain well separated and protected inside your suitcase.
No coins for the supermarket trolley? No problem! Most likely, one of the round-headed keys you carry around with you will work.
To comfortably read a recipe book or magazines, you can use a hanger - one of those equipped with clips, which will keep the book open to the right page and which you can hang in a convenient spot.
Sometimes, bra padding loses its shape after washing: but just heat it with a hair dryer and it will be like new again.
A lot of dirt lurks between the keys of a computer keyboard, but there are various methods to eliminate it: you can use the sticky part of a post-it note, run between the cracks; use an air pump (like those also used for camera lenses); or use scotch tape to attach a straw to the end of a vacuum cleaner nozzle.
You have to heat up or cook two pizzas together, but you only have one pan? Just cut them in half and arrange like you see in the picture, and you can do both!
When the shower head is clogged with limescale, just spray vinegar into the holes, then pour a little more into a plastic bag and seal it around the shower head, so that the head remains immersed in the vinegar over night. The next morning, using a toothbrush, the residual limescale will come off easily.
To clean blenders immediately after use, pour soap and water into them, turn them on and they will be sparkling clean in no time!
Quickly ironing a shirt collar is a piece of cake when you use a hair straightener.
