17 Genius Uses For Everyday Items You Probably Never Knew About

You probably have lots of things in your house that you use for one thing, and one thing only. Get ready, though, because these everyday items are about to make your life a whole lot easier.Most of us take a lot of things for granted until we really need them, especially when it comes to small, everyday items. Whether it's a rubber band or a plastic grocery store bag, we all tend to have certain items lying around our house at all times, and all of them usually only serve one purpose—either that, or it's an item that's considered trash once its main use is done.However, there are plenty of ways you could be using the random things you probably have in your house at this very moment, and we promise that they'll make your life so much easier. 1. Scrub your cutting board with salt and lemon to remove gross food stains. This will also help your cutting board last longer. 2. Keep nail polish from sticking to your skin while painting them by putting vaseline around your fingers. 3. Hang onto Pringles lids to keep your yogurt or beer fresh. 4. Kool-Aid is effective in removing lyme deposits in a dishwasher, and in cleaning brass. Make sure you use the lemonade flavor since it has the citric acid needed to clean! 5. Use binder clips to seal opened food packages. 6. Remove the residue from your coffee grinder by pulverizing rice inside it. 7. Reuse old socks on your Swiffer instead of buying expensive refills. 8. Rub mayonnaise or cooking oil on an unwanted sticker to help remove it from any surface. Use just a small amount and let sit for 5 to 10 minutes. Then, the sticker should come right off! 9. Use a slice of bread to pick up broken shards of glass. 10. Cut an onion in half and use it to clean your grill. Just make sure the grill is hot, or the cleaning won’t work. (Use caution!) 11. Cheap hairspray works well to remove ink from fabric. 12. De-fog bathroom mirrors and car windows with shaving cream. Apply shaving cream to the entire glass surface. Then, wipe the glass with a dry paper towel until it’s clear. 13. Use eggshells to clean the hard-to-reach insides of glasses and vases. Crush up some dry egg shells and pour them into the bottle with water. Then give it a shake, and your bottle will look crystal clear! 14. Use a vegetable peeler to thinly slice a block of cheese. 15. Remove grease stains from furniture with cornmeal. Put one or two spoonfuls of cornmeal on the stain and let sit for 15 to 20 minutes. The meal should absorb the stain without a trace! 16. Scrub your shoes with toothpaste to clean them. Work the toothpaste into the shoes and let sit for 10 minutes, then wipe it off with water. (Make sure you’re using white toothpaste instead of gel!) 17. Deodorize your fridge with coffee grounds. Use a mason jar covered with a coffee filter for the best results!
