I have been living for lifehacks that I never knew I needed lately. Seriously, so many people have been asking me for a little help when it comes to lifehacks, and I am down to give a little bit of advice. Not saying I'm a lifehack expert or anything, but there aren't many hacks that I haven't seen or come across in my time at Diply.
Ready for some more? Let's get started!
I've never seen anyone do this before, but I'm going to definitely file this under "would definitely give it a try."
If you walk like an elephant and your shoes are making way too much noise, add some floor protectors to the bottoms. This can also help with potential trips and slips, too!
Use a towel or shirt between the bottle and the lever. This should stop it from moving while you are! Definitely key for whenever you're on your next adventure.
Either I forget to grab it before I leave or I completely forget to pack one in the morning. If you need a bit of a reminder when you're about to leave the house, put your house keys with your lunch and you'll never forget again!
I've actually done this on several occasions and it totally works!
It just would not pick up dog hair at all! So I may or may not have used tape around my hand to pick up stuff the vacuum couldn't get. It also works as a lint roller!
This bag is filled with stained clothes because the Reddit user always has a bag with clean clothes on hand just in case. Then the dirty clothes go inside the bag so they don't ruin anything else. What do you think?!
If something does break, don't just toss it into your garbage bag. Add a second layer of protection with another bag!
You can reuse that bag for future produce purchases! All you need is a little bit of crochet skill.
Every little thing helps the environment. One step at a time!
In comes everyone's favorite hack item: the pool noodle. Put one on either side of the bed to prevent the little ones from falling out.
I asked if she had an oven mitt, and she did! She brought it to the office just like this.
You can gently use a toothpick to get all the built up lint from inside the headphone hole. This should help things connect a little better.
Stock up on a few packs of these super handy s-hooks the next time you're at the hardware store.
Or you can just use a tension rod and do pretty much the same thing.
This photo might as well be a photo of my boyfriend...His video game controllers are like gold to him!
Well, now you don't have to! Muffin trays like this can easily be repurposed for super handy drawer organization.
Just as Shabby Grace Blog has done, these trays fit perfectly into desk drawers to store your supplies.
Instead of putting your bag or purse on the floor, try draping the strap around the corner of the door before closing it.
I am living for this The Krazy Coupon Lady hack. Fill an ice cube tray with butter and herbs for easy access to tasty cooking.
One easy fix is to place a toilet paper tube on the end of your vacuum hose, allowing it to reshape into literally any position.
Dry your gloves much faster by sticking a tube into each one. You can even place them over a vent for a few minutes to help them dry if you're in a hurry! Easy peasy lemon squeezy.
If you drop small items, like earring backings or pins, stretching pantyhose across the end of the vacuum hose will allow you to retrieve your things without losing them into the vacuum bag.
Layer the bottom of your bin with an old newspaper and it will help to absorb those nasty liquids.
Covering a bowl with plastic wrap without ending up with a ball of plastic is a struggle. But storing it in the fridge will allow it to unfurl more easily.
It's actually a great tool for cutting soft cheeses like brie, cakes, and cookie dough.
No one likes freezer burnt ice cream. So, to prevent this from happening, cover your ice cream with a sheet of wax paper before popping it back into the freezer.
Rub them with lemon juice or baking soda to get your hands smelling fresh again.
Yes, the molecules in the steel will bind to the odorous molecules on your hands. Ah, science.
Take the labels off your yarn and fluff up the skeins with your fingers. Put them in a lingerie bag and throw them in the wash; then follow up with a spin in the dryer on medium heat.
Don't you hate it when your favorite candle has burned so low you can't reach the wick without running the risk of burning yourself? Take a piece of spaghetti, light it and use that to light your candle.
Fog-proof your mirror by applying a thin layer of car wax to it. Let it dry and then buff the mirror with a soft cloth.
There's an easy way to disinfect them. Toss them into a mesh laundry bag and put them in the dishwasher. Just be sure to take them out before the drying cycle and let them air dry on a clean towel.
You'd probably tell me I'm dreaming. Not true. To eliminate the need for ironing lighter fabrics, throw a couple of ice cubes into your dryer. As the machine gets hotter, the cubes will melt and create steam, effectively steaming out any wrinkles. You're welcome.
