TIP AND TRICKS FOR MAKING LIFE EASY 9

BREAD ERASER

Question: What do you do if your kids scribble all over your walls (and the hack isn’t suitable, because you don’t want your living room to smell like an auto shop)? Get a slice of white bread (semi-stale works best), remove the crusts, and scrunch the soft center into a ball. Wipe the wall with a soft cloth, then rub your bread ball over the pencil or crayon to erase the offending marks. Yes, you could use an eraser, but scrubbing your walls with a carbohydrate is much more fun.

NONSLIP RUG

You know how it is with kids—they wriggle, they run, they end up facedown on the floor crying their eyes out. No matter how much you supervise their playtime, falling over is a given, but you can do your best to avoid it.

If you have rugs and doormats that are devoid of a grippy underside, don’t splurge on an expensive nonslip mat cut to size—simply apply some lines of acrylic sealant (the kind you use in the bathroom) to the underside of the mat or rug, and it should stay put. If you have to buy the sealant, you’re now set up to re-seal the bathtub and sink when the time comes—you’re a regular DIY expert!

POWER CORD PERFECTION

Every guy has done it. You break out the lawn mower (or the vacuum cleaner), and instead of finding a outlet nearer to the job, you go right ahead and plug it in a few feet from where you got it (maybe you’re just unlucky and don’t have a choice), meaning you have to stretch the full length of the cord to start work. So you’re at risk of yanking the plug out of the wall while getting busy. Save yourself the humiliation of having to go back there and plug it in by installing a cleat near the socket—that way, you can wrap the power cord around an anchor point, making it impossible to unplug.
