Tip and Tricks for making life easy 2

SMALL ITEM—RETRIEVAL SYSTEM

Where do all those earring backs, contact lenses, and Scuba Steve accessories go when you drop them? I’ll tell you where: they’re still there, it’s just that you’re just too blind to see them.

When you drop something small and can’t find it, grab your vacuum cleaner and a pair of old tights. Slip the tights over the vacuum nozzle and fix in place with an elastic band. Run the vacuum over the area where you think you dropped your item and, with a bit of luck, the item will be sucked onto the tights where you can pick it off with ease. If you find anything of value that isn’t yours, then remember this: finders keepers, losers weepers.

VELCRO HOLDERS

Are you sick of losing the remote? I have to say that sometimes I find mine buried in the garden. If only there were a way of making sure that it stays put . . .

Velcro is your friend for this hack. Attach some to the back of the remote (use the kind with an adhesive backing, available at all good hardware stores) and its corresponding part to the edge of the coffee table, or wherever you want to keep the remote (not the bathroom). And you don’t have to stop at the remote—go wild and figure out what else needs a more permanent home! (Note: using Velcro to strap your kids down in their seat will be frowned upon the local authorities.)

CRAYON REMOVER

Crayon scribbles on the wall are the bane of any household with young children. But this way of removing them (the scribbles, not the kids) will put your mind at ease.

Take a cloth, spray a little water-displacing lubricant on it (the kind that comes in a bold blue and-yellow can), and apply to the offending area. The crayon marks will magically disappear!
