Life Hacks That Actually Work

Razor Saver

Water and metal don't mix, but for some reason, we insist on leaving our metal razors inside of the shower! After just a week, you may notice some rust forming on the edges of the razorblade. In order to avoid this, fully dry off the blade and put a binder clip over the razors. This will protect the metal and make for a longer-lasting razorblade!

The More You Know

  • You can cut your dusting time in half with one common household item: a dryer sheet. Simply swipe it over your baseboards and its anti-static properties will keep dust from sticking while making your home smell fresh.
  • A wet-dry vacuum slurps clogs out of plugged drains. Even plumbers use this trick sometimes. If you need to increase suction, seal around the nozzle with a wet rag.
  • If you forget to bring that butter up to room temp in advance, it’s OK. You can soften butter quickly. The easiest way is to cut butter into cubes and let it sit on the counter for about 20 minutes.
  • If you find your fitted sheets slipping off the corners of your bed, look no further than your closet for an easy fix. Just use a pair of elastic suspenders, clipping one end to each corner under the mattress, and your sheet will stay put.
