House cleaning experts know this trick: I always put a rubber band on the drain, and it has saved me more times than I can count ☺️ Here’s why I do it 💖 I’m sharing the secret in the comments ⬇️⬇️
A simple rubber band can become an invaluable helper in cleaning, and I never imagined there’d be so many ways to use it. Let me share this with you ⬇️
Opening Jars
A jar sealed with jam or pickles can be a real headache. Wrapping a rubber band around the lid helps you open it more easily, as it provides a better grip.
Toothbrush Storage
Wrap a rubber band around a glass with toothbrushes so that their handles don’t touch. It’s more hygienic and practical, especially if you have a big family.
Protecting Tools During Storage
Wrapping a small rubber band around your knife’s blade reduces the risk of cuts when you take it out of the cupboard. Very useful if you have kids at home.
Cable Organization
Rubber bands are essential for keeping cables and earphones neatly organized. Just wrap the cable and secure it with a rubber band to avoid tangling.
Securing Lids During Transport
If you’re transporting food in a pot, a few rubber bands around the lid will help keep it in place and prevent any spills.
Preventing Hair in the Drain
I use rubber bands to gather my hair and prevent it from going into the drain.
Preventing a Cutting Board from Sliding
Cutting boards often slip on the table during use. A rubber band keeps it firmly in place.
Clothes Won’t Slip Off the Hanger
Take two rubber bands, wrap them around both sides of the hanger, and your clothes won’t slip!
