Everyday objects are the things lying all around you. Toothbrushes, duct tape, and marshmallows. In this case, we’re going to show you how these objects you probably already have in your house have second purposes that you will be thrilled to hear about.
Toilet Seltzer
Need to clean the toilet in a jiffy? Alka-Seltzer works as good for cleaning it as it does for getting rid of that holiday heartburn. Try it out before the in-laws’ visit.
They Won’t Get Drunk
You’ve heard about sugar water being a flower’s favorite drink, but have you ever heard of vodka in its place? Turns out, flowers love vodka! Who knew they were so refined?
Keep Away
A magnetic strip will forever be one of the handiest tools you can have around. Hang one on your wall to collect bobby pins and more!
Christmas Has Never Been Easier
Those sealed packages seem impossible to open without fifteen minutes and a whole lot of hassle. But you can now put that can opener to good use and crack it open in no time.
Since You Don’t Use Them
You may have a package of shower caps lying around to protect your weave or for Great Aunt Linda. Turns out, they are pretty useful otherwise. Try protecting your bike seat from dust and rain!
Marshmello?
I think you’re confused. Before Marshmello was so popular, people assumed you meant marshmallows when you mentioned the name. Bring them back by eating them when you have a sore throat. Soft, moisturizing, and tasty.
Eggcellent
Egg cartons are free and can be used for just about any small object. The greatest of these are Christmas ornaments. You need somewhere to store them all year!
Cut the Cheese
If you have unwaxed, unflavored floss, then you are in luck. Use it to cut soft cheeses. Or even sharp cheddar if it’s really strong floss! Use flavored if you want minty cheese.
Another Shower Cap Save
Let’s face it, the plastic wrap does little to no good on a watermelon and there are not really many more choices. Except for the shower cap! Another point for that product!
Not for Cheerios
Cereal containers make perfect storage units, but they also make perfect tiny trash cans. Like in the car, for example! Never let another fry or straw wrapper fall.
Shiny Chucks and Me
There are a few ways to clean white shoes. Bleach, whitening toothpaste, and even 409. But the best of these is micellar water. You may have some of this face cleaner around already!
Anti-Bacterial Too
Ink gets around. It bleeds and wreaks havoc on clothing. One of the best ways to remove it is with just a little Purel or hand sanitizer. Use a toothbrush to work in into the cloth and then throw it into the wash.
Again with the Remover
Again, before you wash anything stained with makeup, dab a bit of micellar water on it first. The stain will be much more likely to come out this way.
Buy No More
Ice packs are something you are going to need, especially if you have kids. Save on money and freeze a few wet sponges and stick them in baggies. Works for reducing swelling and in lunch boxes.
