Home Hacks Everyone Can Use
Every home has its quirks, but a few smart hacks can make daily life smoother, and even a little fun. Take pool noodles, for example. Slice one and place it on walls or doors to prevent dents or slip a piece over a shelf in garage to stop or soften when opening the car door. Foam never looked so useful! Magnetic strips aren’t just for knives either. Stick one in the garage for screwdrivers, wrenches, or scissors, or inside a closet for small metal items like keys or clips. Everything stays visible, and digging through junk drawers becomes a thing of the past.
Binder clips are surprisingly versatile tools. They can help keep cords untangled, hold stacks of papers together, and even clip gloves and hats in a closet. A tiny metal clip can have a big organizational impact.
Zip ties are also very useful for tasks like hanging sign riders and organizing computer wires. Velcro works wonders too; my favorite ...you can attach it to the TV remotes, so they stick to the coffee table or inside a drawer. This way, everything stays in place, no more searching and nothing gets lost.
Let’s not overlook the magic of WD-40. A quick spray can silence a squeaky hinge, make turning a key in door locks easier, remove sticker residue from glass or metal, and help loosen a stubborn zipper on a jacket or bag. It’s one of those versatile products that every household depends on like a little blue-and-yellow superhero.
Finally, there’s the infamous toothpaste trick. Some people swear a dab of white toothpaste can hide tiny nail holes. I’m not advising you to do it, but it is definitely done! It’s one of those cheeky hacks people admit only when they’re among friends, and it always gets a laugh.
Small hacks like these don’t just make your home run smoother—they make life easier, smarter, and a whole lot more fun. What are some of your favorite home hacks?
