  1. I don’t have a repair hack but I have a cleaning hack..I buy microfiber cloths at the dollar store, and cut them to fit my Swiffer Wet Jet. The stick just as good as the Swiffer Wet Jet Pads

  2. My husband. I call him handy Randy

  3. What good ideas besides practices! I can copy them? I do not have any so good to share, I’m sorry …

  4. I really don’t know any really good hacks, except bluetack comes in handy with so many little things :)

  5. I’m afraid I’m not clever enough to come up with any hacks.

  6. I’m not that ingenious

  7. can’t go wrong with duck tape!

  8. I like the pop tab and have used that for hanging items also.

  9. Add vinegar to wash. Take any mildew smell out of towels

  10. Don’t have any-go by the book :)

  11. To sharpen craft scissors, stack several pieces of aluminium foil together and fold in half and cut them with the scissors. After about 6-8 cuts, your scissors will be so much sharper!

  12. Great Article

  13. I put a sticky note underneath where I am going to drill. I then fold it upwards so that when I drill the dust gathers in the sticky note for easy cleaning.
