1. Organize your dishwasher, pots and pans, and cabinet
- Use a mug tree to organize your pots and pans.
- Put lids of pots and pans in the bottom rack to save room.
- Use a wine rack to organize your dishes.
- Put your cleaning products in a shower caddy so you don’t have to go on a hunt for it when you need it the most!
2. Remove stubborn marks from your walls
A pencil eraser is often the easiest way to get rid of sharpie marks. If you’ve used a marker to decorate your walls, simply rub over the area with a pencil eraser and watch as the ink fades away. A dry cleaning sponge also works well for this purpose.
You can also use water and baking soda for scrubbing off unwanted markings. Add about 2 cups of baking soda to 1 cup hot water in a spray bottle and shake it up until all of the ingredients are dissolved; then spray your walls before using a sponge or cloth to rub them clean. Vinegar and water makes another great cleaning solution that works well on both oil-based paint (such as latex) and acrylic paints (such as poster paints). Mix equal parts vinegar and warm water in a spray bottle, shake it up, then spritz onto any unwanted spots on your wall—let it sit for 15 minutes before wiping off with damp paper towels or rags!
3. Re-purpose an old kitchen utensil holder to store stationery in
You can re-purpose an old kitchen utensil holder to store stationery in your office or workspace. This is a very easy hack, and it’s great for anyone who likes to keep their things organized.
To make this useful kitchen tool storage, simply remove the utensils and add small containers to the slots of your old utensil holder! These can be used to store rulers, pencils, pens and highlighters. Now you have a space that is both stylish and practical!
4. Use a candle to clean up wax spills or melted crayons!
If you have a wax spill or melted crayon on your floor, try using a candle to clean it up! The best part is that this solution can be used indoors or outdoors. First, place the candle in the freezer and let it sit for a few hours until the wax is frozen solid. Once frozen, simply break off chunks of wax with your hand and wipe them up with paper towels or rags. You can also use a hair dryer to melt down any remaining drips or splatters from your flooring surface before wiping them up as well.
5. Organize your cords with binder clips
The binder clip is the best tool for keeping your cords organized. You can use a binder clip to bundle up all the power cords in your home, and they’ll be much easier to find when you need them later on. This trick works best if you have a lot of different electronics (like charging stations), but it can also help keep other small cables together too.
You might want to use bigger clips for more cords and smaller clips for fewer or more delicate cables that need some extra attention.
6. Make your own bed tray
A bed tray is a great way to save space and avoid unnecessary clutter. It’s also perfect for when you need a snack or beverage that is too heavy to lift up from the floor. A bed tray can be made out of almost anything, though it’s best if it has some kind of non-slip surface. If you’re extra-resourceful, try making your own custom tray out of materials at home!
Here are a few ideas:
- Use an old cutting board as the base for your tray. Lay down some plastic wrap or wax paper on top of it so that food doesn’t spill into your sheets or mattress after eating. If you don’t have an old cutting board lying around, use any other firm but light material with sides (such as cardboard) and cover it with clear plastic cling wrap before putting down whatever you want to eat on top—this will keep crumbs contained within their designated zone while still allowing them access to the rest of your room when needed!
- Cut holes into a wooden box using tin snips (if possible). This will allow easy access without having to lift up anything heavy off the ground every time someone wants something small like salt/pepper packets without having them get back up again because they have such inconveniently placed themselves on their side so they could enjoy reading while laying down comfortably next time around.”
7. Make your own mini fire pit
- Use a terracotta plant pot and a metal bowl that fits inside the pot.
- Pack sand into the pot to fill it.
- Place the metal bowl on top of the sand.
- Light small amounts of wax and place them in the bowl. This will create a portable mini-fire pit that you can take with you wherever you go!
8. Store ribbons inside a tissue box
>Ribbons, string, and other small items can be stored in a tissue box so that you have easy access to them. You can also use a spool for storage or toilet paper roll if you want something that is more portable.
9. Store necklaces in a hanger!
If you’re short on space, this hack is for you.
- Take the hook off your closet or dresser hanger and place it at the top of your necklaces. You can use a regular hook or one that has been bent at an angle to hang more than one necklace at once.
- Place your necklaces around the hook and hang them up in any order you like!
- This method makes it easy to see what kind of jewelry pieces are in your collection without having to dig through drawers or boxes, plus it keeps things from getting tangled together by creating some space between each piece so they can move around freely when moved around on their own accord (or by someone else).
10. Create a magnetic pocket for the fridge to hold notes, pencils and memos
- Cut the pocket out of an old pair of jeans.
- Attach a magnet strip or Velcro to the back.
- Hang it on your fridge!
