Each person, at least once, was faced with minor domestic troubles that spoil the mood. Anything can happen.
“It's okay, you can go and buy the necessary thing,” many will think. But not everyone has the opportunity to "go and buy."
Lack of time or money - there can be many reasons. It is important at this moment not to get confused and come up with how to fix the situation.
Remember your parents, and better grandparents. They did not even dream about many small things available now. They came up with different “things” that made their life easier.
Now, of course, the times are completely different. Shelves in stores delight with a variety of conceivable and inconceivable devices. Still, it's easier to take advantage of what is at hand.
We present to your attention 10 funny life hacks for home. They will help you out more than once in difficult times.
10. Fast drying
When you need to quickly dry a thing, many use an iron. Nice way, only long and tiring. Good for express drying trousers or skirts.
But what if you need to dry the tights? Or even socks? Do not laugh. If you always wash your clothes on time, you can skip this tip. But poor students or bachelors who are not in a hurry to do the laundry, it will be very useful.
It will help out before an important event or date, when it turns out that clean socks are over last week.
Instead of a nozzle on the hair dryer, pull a sock on it, turn on the hair dryer. A couple of minutes, socks are dry. Another question is where to find a hairdryer, but, in extreme cases, you can always ask your neighbors for it. Just don’t tell them why you need it.
9. Iron without iron
If the iron breaks, or it never happened at all, and you have an important meeting, do not despair. Surely in the kitchen you have at least one stainless steel pan. Boil water in it, drain it, and then start ironing.
The heated bottom of the pan will do fine with creases. Just make sure it is clean. And then you will have to not only iron, but also wash your shirt or dress again. Instead of a pan, you can take a mug.
If a thing is delicate and you are afraid to ruin it, then use the following method. Hang the dress or shirt on the shoulders in the bathroom, turn on the hot water, it is better to use a shower. After 20 minutes, under the influence of steam, the folds will disappear.
True, get ready for the fact that you will get a rather big bill for the use of hot water.
8. Cool the laptop
If you often use a laptop a lot, you are probably faced with the fact that it is very hot.
Of course, this problem needs to be solved: check which part heats up most, clean the cooler, apply new thermal grease. If you do not understand laptops at all, at least do not block the ventilation openings.
You can buy a cooling pad, you can use ordinary forks. Put the forks on the table and the laptop on them.
This will open the ventilation holes. Never put it on a soft surface: sofa, bed. If you want to lie down and watch a movie, you can use the egg rack. Just put a laptop on it.
However, do not rely on the fact that the plugs and grille will be able to permanently solve the problem of overheating. Use this method in conjunction with the rest.
7. Save the flowers from the cat
If your cat again encroached on the "holy of holies" - flowers, do not worry. Do not think that you will see flowering plants on your windowsill only through its corpse.
Try sticking a toothpick around the perimeter of the pot, it will become harder for the animal to get close to the plant. A few injections, and the cat will forever lose interest in the flower.
This method is suitable if the cat likes to dig the ground. If your cat’s toothpicks aren’t scared (there are such individuals), buy a special net and pull on top of the pot. If the animal is trying to eat flowers, buy him herbs.
Many pet stores sell seeds or pots of grown grass. Perhaps then the cat will stop spoiling your plants.
6. Dry things
If you don’t have a clothes dryer, you can easily replace it with chairs. Yes, of course, this method will not be a discovery for anyone, only we recommend that you do not put them as usual, but put the back up. In this position, you can hang on a chair a lot more clothes.
Arrange for washing in the evening, place an improvised dryer near the battery, hang things on it, and collect in the morning. It's comfortable. In addition, in the morning you will need chairs, you will have to clean up dried clothes. Many housewives have things hanging on the dryer for several days, all of them "hands do not reach."
5. Watering system
You are going on vacation and racking your brains again: “Who should I ask to water the flowers?” If relatives and friends live far away, but you are not familiar with neighbors, there is a solution.
Make all your plants on the floor, in the center put a large container of water (bucket, basin). From a bucket into each pot, pull a ribbon of fabric, it is better to use cotton, old sheets will do. Plants will take as much moisture as they need.
A regular plastic bottle is also suitable for this purpose. Make a few holes in the lid, pour water and turn it over, fix it. Water will gradually flow out of the bottle, providing moisture to your plant.
4. When the heck is broken ...
If the latch breaks in the toilet or bathroom, then it’s better to fix it. If this is not possible, take chopsticks, they will replace the latch. This method is suitable if you invited guests, but the heck was never repaired.
Residents of dormitories or communal apartments in which nobody wants to do repairs will appreciate it. Such a heck looks, of course, not quite aesthetically pleasing, but the door holds remarkably.
3. We use a tablet in the bathroom
This device is for those who like to soak in the bathroom. Just so boring. Newspapers and magazines get wet and cost money.
Your phone and tablet can seriously suffer after such water procedures, if you do not use the simplest invention.
Take a clothes hanger with latches, put the tablet in a tight bag, and then fasten it. Include a movie or a selection of clips. Even while washing you can watch the video.
This method will definitely appeal to busy people who cannot take a moment to watch a new movie.
2. Unusual use of scoop
To pour water from the tap into a bucket or other container, just put it in the bathroom. If the bathroom is busy and you need to get water urgently, you can use the scoop.
Bring the scoop to the tap, turn on the water. Water will drain down the handle into the tank. Suitable for manic cleaners who do not want to put a bucket in the bathroom, as well as those who have a shower.
1. Sponge for dishes will not be lost
If you have chaos in the kitchen and you are constantly looking for missing things, make a sponge tool. You do not have to look for her all over the house anymore.
Those with small children living in the apartment will appreciate it. After all, these “helpers” are happy to help mom, take a sponge for dishes, and then wipe her the floor, themselves, the cat, the toilet. In general, they use it as a universal remedy.
