There are chores that we perform every day without thinking about them, and there are objects we use in the same way without asking ourselves if we could perhaps use them in some other way. It's not wrong: it just doesn't occur to everyone to think a bit outside the box about everyday things. Nor can it be said that it always comes to mind to look for the solution to some small daily inconvenience.

It is in these cases that the ideas that come from the internet can give us a hand: there are brilliant tips (life hacks) that have been around for years, or others that have come out more recently that perhaps have yet to reach the people who could most benefit from them. We detail some of these brilliant tips below:

Tired of pulling up the garbage bag that constantly slips into the garbage pail? Secure it using some document clips.

Alternatively, you can use adhesive hooks mounted upside down on the outer side of the pail to secure the handles of the bags. Or even a rubber band around the top edge, with the top of the bag secured around the lip of the pail.

To prevent the noisy vibrations of the washing machine or dryer when they are operating,  and also to prevent objects from falling into the space between the appliances and the wall, use some pool noodles to seal off the gaps.

When you can't open the lid of a jar, a little bit of strong tape (like duct tape) is a great ally.

No more stress to screw a hook into the wall: the tab from a soda can solves this problem.

When it's too hot and there's no air conditioner available, just attach filled, ice-cold water bottles to your regular fan and you'll feel the difference.

To remove water stains from the taps, you can use wax paper for food (or also try this with parchment paper).

If you have not finished a painting project and you have to resume again shortly, you do not have to clean the brush: you can put it in a plastic bag (better if hermetically sealed) and pop it in the fridge.

A box of tissues can become a convenient dispenser for recycled plastic bags.

If your kids have scribbled with crayons on the wall, you can use a little water and baking soda to erase all the marks.
