16 Elite Life Hacks You’ll Use Every Single Day

[0:00]These practical life hacks my grandpa never told anyone else. One, when glass breaks, you can put a garbage bag over the dustpan. Sweep the glass shards into it, and then use a potato to clean up the remaining bits on the floor. Once done, just throw away the garbage bag. It's a safer way to clean up. Two, don't throw away broken slippers. You can stuff a balloon inside the shoe, thread it through the sole and secure the balloon on top. This way, you can easily repair your slippers and save money. Three, cleaning a griddle is a pain. Just put a few ice cubes in it and heat it up. The stains will come off effortlessly. Four, cut off the toothbrush head, heat the handle, and then stick the toothbrush head back on. Once it's set, it's perfect for cleaning dust from grooves and small crevices. Five, opening used paint cans is tricky. Simply cut a plastic bottle, fit it over the paint can, heat it to shrink, and then twist open the cap whenever you need it. So much easier. Six, lost a bottle cap? Don't worry. Just stuff a balloon into the bottle and fit the balloon's neck over the bottle opening. It seals really well. Seven, snails are delicious, but dealing with them can be a hassle. My grandpa taught me that with just a strainer, you can easily handle them quickly. Eight, don't throw away those garment bags. Fold them in half, cut a small hole, and then put your clothes inside. You've got yourself a dust cover for your clothes. Nine, you can never seem to clean pork intestines properly. Just put the intestines over a funnel, then pour water inside. This way, the intestines can be cleaned very thoroughly. Ten, if a can doesn't have a handle, you can use a piece of string. Tie it around the can, and it becomes a simple handle. Eleven, pouring soy sauce directly waste too much. First, remove the pull ring from the bottle. Then flip it around so you can control the amount when pouring. Twelve, a threading trick my grandma taught me. Place the thread on a piece of paper, and you can thread the needle quickly. This method is very efficient. Thirteen, towels get dirty after long use. Just add toothpaste, laundry detergent, baking soda, white vinegar, and warm water. Soak for five minutes, and the towel will look like new. Fourteen, here's how to properly wash shoes. Put a plastic bottle inside the shoes, so cleaning them becomes much easier. Everyone, give it a try. Fifteen, don't throw away unused bottles yet. Just find a wooden board and fix the bottles onto it. Then you won't need to buy a shoe rack. Sixteen, springs always fall off. Grandpa used a string to hook the spring, then wrapped it clockwise around a screwdriver and easily secured the spring.
