At Bright Side, we believe that it’s a crime to hide cool household life hacks, so we want to share them with you.

If you’re having trouble threading a needle, use a toothbrush.

Put the thread on the bristles, and place the eye of the needle on the thread. Then press lightly on the needle. The bristles will push the thread into the eye, you can just pick up the resulting loop and drag the thread. If you can’t pick up the thread with your fingers, you can help yourself with another needle or toothpick.

You can take a syringe and bleach, pierce the epicenters of mold on the silicon and inject a bit of bleach. You can also apply bleach to the surface and leave it there for a while. Eventually, the mold spots will disappear. © igorche8 / Pikabu

How to prevent sock from tearing

Buy 2 pairs of the cheapest and thinnest socks, and put 2 of them on each foot. They will be thick enough to warm you and absorb sweat, but the main thing is that they won’t tear because they will rub against each other and not against your shoes.
