Wake the Lakes “Life Hacks for the Week” 6-5-23

Genius, But Simple Life Hacks:

–For extra bag storage, you can connect two zip lock bags by flipping one inside out to make a larger one.
– Put a rubber band around the inside of the pockets of your shorts and never have to worry about your phone or keys bouncing out on a run.
–Use a fork to help hang a painting. Hammer the nail into the wall. Slide a kitchen fork onto the nail so it stands up over the nail, then slide the hanging wire behind the fork handle until it rests on the nail. Remove the fork. Done.
–If you need confetti, do it with leaves. Use a decorative punch hole on different leaves from the yard instead of using paper and it’s fully biodegradable.
–When disassembling items, punch your screws through some cardboard and label the sets. This will help you retain your hardware, remember placement and order of reassembly.
–Lint rollers are not only perfect for removing pet hair from your furniture. Lint rollers are also great for removing dust from fabric lamp shades.
–Have some leftover coffee grounds after your morning cup? Use them to tackle that ring around the tub. Rub some coffee grounds into the grease or soap and it’ll gently buff off any residue. Rinse off the mixture with warm water afterward and voila! A squeaky-clean tub.
–No furniture polish on hand? No problem! Essential oils are great for freshening up wood furniture. You can use lemon essential oil to quickly polish any dark wood and effectively clean stains and spots.
