We’ve all had the experience of returning from shopping with some great new clothes, only to discover that we don’t have any free hangers to put on. It’s not that we have too many clothes; we never seem to have enough hangers.
This can be aggravating, especially when you take into account that you just came in and don’t want to go out again just to buy some more. Instead, you can just use some shower curtain hooks! They don’t take up a lot of space in your closet and are perfect for clothes that have loops, such as jackets or jeans.
Conserve Water by Doing This to Your Toilet
Saving water is more important than ever. Environmentally conscious households can do more than just shorten the lengths of their showers. They can also make sure that less water is used every time they flush the toilet. Instead of flushing less, which is kind of gross, all you have to do is put a jar full of water or a couple of bricks in the back of your toilet tank.
When you flush, the tank will fill up with less water because of the space that the bricks take up. Are you in for more water-saving hacks? Turn off the tap when you brush your teeth, and clean your vegetables in a bath of water and not under running water.
Command Hooks Help Keep Bin Liners in Place
Your old plastic bags, which can be used in so many ways, can be used as bin liners too. But the downside to doing that is that heavy items can cause the bag to go in the trash along with them, and then you find yourself trying to pull the sides of the bag back up while avoiding getting your hands smothered with trash.
You can keep them in place by using Command hooks. You stick the hooks on the outside of the trashcan on either side and put the bag’s loops around them. This will ensure that your liner stays in place and your hands can stay garbage free!
Save Some Paint for a Rainy Day
A freshly painted room can make you feel warm and fuzzy all over. Just changing the color of the wall can completely transform the way a room looks and feels, but it is really aggravating to see your hard work marred when a piece of furniture bumps into the walls and leaves an ugly mark.
You don’t need to save a big messy paint can to solve this problem, all you have to do is take an empty baby food jar and save a small amount of paint in it. That way, you can dispose of the paint properly but still have enough left over to do some touch-ups and keep everything looking great.
Store Plastic Bags in Wet Wipes Container
Accumulative plastic bags can really get in the way. You can bunch it up and stuff it in a drawer, but that is never very pleasing to the eyes. What can one do with all these excess bags? For starters, you can start recycling or stop taking store bags back with you. But if you already have them, there is a better solution.
If you have a bunch of bags you don't know where to put, you can place an old disinfecting wiper container and place them there. The pull-and-grab system is super convenient, and you can store it wherever you like.
