Helpful Household Hacks

By Morgan Saylor

There are dozens of horribly annoying things that can happen around your house that require special attention – doors that stick, hinges that squeak, and so on. Houselogic’s Elizabeth Lilly has curated a long list of DIY hacks for helping deal with some of these nuisances.

  • Zip Tie vs Shower gunk – connecting three or four zip ties and notching them every half inch, and then feeding said zip tie chain into the drain to remove all that lovely hair that tends to collect and clog your drain.
  • Vinegar Your Showerhead – Sediment can build-up on your showerhead over time. This can be defeated by submerging it in white vinegar overnight (Lilly suggests putting the vinegar in a plastic bag and wrapping a rubber band around the showerhead to hold it in place).
  • Squeaking Hinges – Grease or olive oil work as well as commercial lubricants, so lube it up!
  • Hair Dryer Linoleum Fix – If you fumbled and tore a hole in your linoleum floor, all is not lost – Using warm air from a hair dryer to stretch material and reattach it to the subfloor as the glue melts is a possibility with some tears!
