Sometimes chores just take too much time. And it often happens because we don’t know effective life hacks. Have you ever tried to remove a marker with hair styling products, for example? Or did you know that you just need to cool a pillowcase down to sleep comfortably during warm nights? We’ll tell you about these hacks and many other things in this article.

At Bright Side, we always want to make our lives easier and spend as little time as possible on chores so that we have enough time for more important things. If you share these views, don’t forget to save this article for later in case you have an emergency situation.

Freeze the wax you want to remove.

The process of removing wax from furniture or fabric can damage their surfaces. Next time, put an ice cube or a plastic bag filled with ice on the wax drop for a few minutes. When the wax freezes and becomes hard, you can easily remove it in one motion.

Vinegar removes odors from microwaves.

A trash bag almost never stays properly put inside the bin. It often crumples and falls down, while its edges can become dirty from coming into contact with wet garbage. To prevent this from happening, just glue hooks to the outer walls of the waste basket, to which you can easily attach the bag handles.

Hair styling products help to remove permanent marker from any surface.

If you or your children stain the table with a marker, take any hair styling product, like a mousse or spray, cover the stained area with it, and wipe it clean with a napkin or cotton round.

Attach the edge of a dust pan to the floor with duct tape to collect even smaller debris.

This trick can be useful for those who love iced coffee, or when the shelf life of the milk is just around the corner. Additionally, frozen cream, as well as frozen broth or oil with herbs, can be used for cooking.
