I’m sorry I didn’t learn this secret at 50!

At home, we often find ourselves looking for quick and efficient solutions to solve the small inconveniences of everyday life. The amazing thing is that, with a little ingenuity, some of the most common objects we have on hand can become unexpected tools to make our lives easier.

From kitchen utensil tricks to the creative use of everyday products, there are geniuses that we would never have thought of, but once discovered, they make us think: “How could I not think of it before?”

Here are some of those clever tricks that will transform your home routine, making it simpler and more practical.

Everyday secrets and tricks that we must learn

Here’s a list of nifty home hacks that can get you out of trouble using everyday materials:

Make an impromptu brooch:

• If you need an emergency brooch, cut a small piece of wood from a popsicle stick or similar, add a rubber band and you have a clip to hold papers or seal bags.

Hide money in the saw:

• If you want to hide a bill discreetly, screw the bill and place it in the middle of the saw. No one will think of looking for it there.

Curtain Support:

• If your curtain rod support has broken, use the neck of a plastic bottle cut in half. You can fix it to the wall and it will serve perfectly as a temporary support.

Bring the gas up the car with a bottle:

• In case of emergency, place a hose in the car’s tank and use a plastic bottle to generate pressure. By pressing the bottle, the air will push the naphtha upwards.

Protect the wood when using a nail puller:

• When pulling out a nail with a nail puller, place a sponge or small piece of cardboard under the nail picker to avoid damaging or marking the wood.

Quick Repair of a Pantry Handle:

• If the screw on a handle is loose, apply some nail polish to the screw before inserting it again. This will fix it better and prevent it from loosening easily.

Seal hose holder:

• If you have a leaky hose that has come loose from its connection, use a plastic seal to hold it firmly in place. Simply adjust it in the leak area or where the hose joins and it will be securely attached.

Brush organizer with snaps and a little wood:

• If you have multiple brushes and don’t know how to organize them, you can use a small piece of wood and attach several clothes pins in a row. Screw the clasps into the wood and hang the brushes with the bristles facing down. This homemade organizer will keep your brushes in perfect condition.

Using the USB cable and a battery:

• A surprising trick that circulates among ingenious solutions, consisting of these two elements connected to the car door and in case the key’s battery has died. Although it sounds almost unbelievable, this method is based on taking advantage of the minimum charge of a battery to generate enough energy and activate the car’s opening system.

These tricks will help you solve small household problems quickly and efficiently, using materials that you probably already have on hand. It’s an easy and inexpensive way to improvise useful solutions!
