Our household goods and furniture are subject to a lot of wear and tear. Kids’ feet, animals, accidents, spills, and more. You name it. When you stop to take a look around, you can start noticing a lot of scratches here and there. But before you start panicking and splurge on a new living room, you can simply go to your bathroom.
Toothpaste can take care of a lot of scratches. You can just rub it on those unsightly marks until they smooth out. Put just a dollop of toothpaste on the scratch and slowly buff it out in a circular motion. Clean up the rest with a damp towel.
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.
Get Rid of Sticky Residue With Oil
It's great to reuse old jars and bottles. Those things can be really useful, but what happens when you re-label them? Or at least scrape off the last one, and all that old sticky residue is still there from the last label? Just use cooking oil, it's as easy as...pie.
Rub some oil on the stickiness with some cotton and just watch how easily it comes off when you wipe it. Now you can repurpose old jars and stick whatever you want on them, or just leaves them clean and use them as decorative pieces on your window sill. It's great in front of the light.
Patch up Windowscreen Holes with Nail Polish
Be aware that this is for smaller holes and cracks. If you have a massive hole in your window screen, you might need to replace it, but for minor ones, you can just use clear nail polish. Just paint the crack with some transparent nail polish; it will be as good as new in no time, just like you do with runny nylon stockings.
Who would have thought you could use the same hack for your beauty stocking and fixing your glass window? I guess there is a huge science lesson behind it, and we feel kind of lost for not paying more attention back in school.
