Use a Pool Noodle to Fill Your Mop Bucket

If you don’t have a water hose at home, here’s a simple way to easily fill up your mop bucket. Use a pool noodle as a water hose, attach to your faucet, and you’ll make sure things are splatter-free.

Use Plastic Wrap when Measuring

Instead of directly filling the measuring cup with peanut butter, try lining your measuring cup with a thin layer of plastic wrap so things stay clean and sticky-free. It also works well with condensed milk, cream, honey, and any other sticky ingredients.

Command Hooks for the Kitchen

If you want a great way to create counter space for your kitchen (especially if you don’t have a lot), then try using command hooks. All you have to do is attach to the wall above the counter, then hang a basket or wrack from them. Then you can store mason jars with your cooking utensils in them, spices, dish soap, etc.

Drawer Dividers To Keep Your Dresser Organized

For an easy organized drawer (especially for all your small clothing pieces), consider using a snap-off divider that’s made from cardboard or felt. It’s so easy to make and will keep your things clutter-free and easy to find.

Hang Multiple Pieces of Clothing using Soda Tabs

This tip is super smart and a major space saver. You just need some soda tabs and you can easily double your closet space. Just loop the tabs onto a hanger and hang the second hangers through the tab’s holes.

Disposable Hair Traps

If you’re someone who has long hair (or you have a family member who does), then you definitely need these disposable hair traps. This trick will save you some serious cleaning and unclogging time.

Clean Your Keyboard with Sticky Notes

If your keyboard keys are looking a bit dusty and dirty, all you need is a sticky note to start cleaning. Press the sticky side in between your keys to pick up dust and crumbs and wipe off with a clean cloth after.

Differentiate Your Keys

Keep your keys easily identifiable by simply painting the ends with different colored nail polish so you know exactly which one goes to what.

Dripless Popsicles

If you bought some popsicles, try putting a cupcake liner under your popsicle to create a drip catcher. You’ll find it super helpful, especially if you have kids.

Pegboard Kitchen Organizer

This pegboard organizer is such a great addition to your kitchen. It keeps your utensil, pans, and pots organized and in place. Plus, it’s a functional decorative piece that’s perfect for making your kitchen look great.

You just need some small cans, paint colors that pop, washer, bolt, and nuts.

Clean Your Toilet Bowl… with Kool-Aid

Skip the expensive store-bought toilet bowl products and opt for a chemical free cleaner. You just have to empty a Lemonade Kool-Aid packet into the toilet bowl, give it a nice scrub, and flush after.
