Preventing thread tangles

To stop thread from knotting while embroidering, just run it through a dryer sheet while sewing. This procedure will eliminate thread tangles.

Cleaning the BBQ grill

Place a large sheet of aluminum foil over the grill while the coals are still red-hot. The foil will reduce food particles to a fine ash. Later, ball up the foil and use it to scrub away any burnt-on residues.

Noisy door

To silence a squeaky hinge, spray a small amount of shaving cream onto a toothbrush and rub into the hinge’s cracks and gaps. The ingredients in the cream will lubricate the metal and stop the noise.

Protect fingers from a hammer

To keep your fingers safe while nailing walls, grab a clothespin and clip it onto the nail. Hold the pin and work pain free.

Fix for scorched fabric

If you accidentally scorched the fabric that you were ironing, just grab a rag big enough to cover the stain and soak it in hydrogen peroxide. Place the rag over the mark and iron on a medium heat until it disappears.

Prevent static in hair

To keep your hair free of static and perfectly in place, just blow dry your brush before using it. The heat will soften the bristles, reducing the static that results from a very rigid brush.
