We know most of the world had progressed to wooden flooring, however, some are still suck in the 1980s. If you have wall-to-wall carpeting, you are familiar with the problem of carpet dents. You know, when you move the furniture and the dents in the carpet just won’t go away.
If you have guests coming over and you want everything to look nice, you can put some ice cubes in the dents. After the ice has melted completely, the dent will be gone, but you have to make sure that you wipe off the excess water and fluff out the carpet. Take into account that this may take up to 12 hours to work completely.
Desk Organizers Can Be Used in Other Parts of Your Home
Despite your best efforts, pantries can quickly become cluttered and messy. There is no easier thing than outing all items you have no idea where to place in the pantry. Open bags and boxes of food become mixed with various spices, and soon you can’t find anything, or even worse — have everything topple when you reach for something.
Old and unused desk organizers can actually solve this problem. You can use them to organize some of the smaller items inside your pantry. If you have the room and a little technical skill, you can even attach them to your wall, freeing up more shelf space to accommodate larger items.
Hiding Your Router
These days it is hard to live without Wi-Fi, making a router a must-have item in every home. Could you imagine having to connect to the internet as we did back in 1995 when the landline had to be disconnected so you could go online? Ok, back to lifesaving hacks.
Unfortunately, most routers are not as appealing to the eye as they are functional. If you can’t stand that eyesore anymore, you can hide it with some innovative decorating ideas. You can place your router in a pretty box and cut out a hole for the cords. Or you could make yourself look smarter by building a fake bookcase to store it upright.
Command Hooks Are Also Good for the Holidays
If you are a fan of DIY, you probably already have your share of home hacks and know that Command hooks are the greatest. Whoever invented these never thought they would go such a long way. These small, sticky friends can help hang almost anything on the wall without drilling holes or leaving a trace.
You may not have considered using these hooks for hanging holiday wreaths and other decorations on the front door. All you have to do is place the hook on the inside of your door upside down, use a string and your decoration can hang on the other side.
Your Boots Will Stay Upright With Pool Noodles
As soon as the first leaves fall, women can’t wait to pull out their beloved winter boots, but in warmer weather, they are typically put away for the season, and their storage conditions are less than ideal. Instead of being placed aside, maintaining their tallness and glam, they slowly loos their life at the bottom of the shoe drawer.
If the tall part is left flopping all summer, creases can spoil the footwear’s nice lines. In order to keep your boots standing tall all year long, just put pool noodles inside them. Simply cut the noodles into the appropriate length and place them into the boots.
