Thanks to the Internet, we have a lot of life hacks to help make our lives easier. These creative geniuses have decided to share tips and tricks for how to use household items in a completely new way that can actually change your life! From cleaning up to doing your make up, you’ll save time and money with these life hacks.
Banana Peel
Use a banana peel in place of expensive face cream. The nutrients in a banana peel can help fight acne, moisturize your skin, and ward off wrinkles.
Black Pepper
Over time, the colors in your clothes fade from going through the wash so many times. Keep those colors bright and vibrant by adding some black pepper into your laundry. The pepper will exfoliate your clothes and take away the soap that dulls the colors.
Baking Soda and Vinegar
Wash out your washing machine with baking soda and vinegar and run a regular wash cycle without any clothes in it. This will get rid of any odors you may have.
Copy Machine
Get your nail holes right the first time by photocopying the item you are hanging and taping it up on the wall where you would like it to go. Then, use a drill or hammer to put the nail or screw in the wall. You’ll get it right every time .
Tomato
Use a tomato for a facemask packed with vitamins A, C, E, B6, and K. Simply rub a cut tomato on your skin and wash off in a few minutes.
Frozen Grapes
Nobody likes putting ice in their wine when someone forgot to chill it earlier. Rather than water down your wine with ice cubes, use frozen grapes to chill your wine.
Lemon
Squeeze a lemon into your water each morning to start your day. The lemon juice and nutrients will help keep your skin refreshed, start your metabolism, and provide many vitamins.
Aluminum Foil
Aluminum foil can help reduce pain and cold symptoms. Simply wrap the area in aluminum foil and you will feel your pain alleviate from opened energy pathways. It may look silly, but it works!
Sharpie and Tape
Turn your phone’s flashlight into a black light. Simply cover the flashlight with a piece of clear tape and color the circle in with a blue sharpie. Then put another piece of tape over that and color it with a purple sharpie.
Mouthwash
Make yourself a relaxing footbath with mouthwash containing alcohol, vinegar, and warm water to make your feet smooth and heal dead skin.
Bar of Soap
If you suffer from Restless Leg Syndrome, place a bar of soap in your sheets to counteract the acidification that occurs in the muscles to make you uncomfortable.
Fan and Dryer Sheets
Freshen up a room with fresh scent by placing dryer sheets on a large fan and letting it run for a while.
Sewing Pin
Slice your banana easily by stabbing a pin through the skin and wiggling it around. When you peel the banana, the slices will simply fall out.
Tea Bag
Place a tea bag in your sink with warm water and dirty dishes to help lift off the food that is crusted onto the plates and pans.
Soda Tab
Keep your straw in place when drinking from a can by turning the tab towards you. Place the straw in the hole and it will stay there rather than bopping around.
Milk Carton
Are you stuck with a broom without a dustpan? Use a plastic milk jug to cut out your own dustpan to clean up any messes.
Can Opener
It seems like each year it’s harder to open packages. Rather than getting frustrated with scissors, use a can opener along the edges. It will give a clean cut and make it easier to get to your product.
Clothespin
It can really hurt to hammer your finger instead of a nail. So, to save you from this excruciating pain, use a clothespin to hold the nail in place and spare your fingers.
Beeswax
Canvas shoes are definitely trending right now, especially during the warmer weather. To make these shoes water resistant, rub some beeswax on the outside so you can wear them during those April showers.
Sponge
Keep your vegetables and fruit fresh by placing dish sponges in the drawer in the fridge. They will absorb the moisture before your produce can and keep them crisp.
