1. Reuse Citrus Peels for Natural Air Fresheners
Did you know that citrus peels (like lemon or orange) can work wonders as a natural air freshener? Instead of tossing them away, you can use them to naturally freshen up your home. Simply place the peels in a pot of boiling water on the stove or toss them into your garbage disposal to freshen up the kitchen. Not only does this trick save you money on artificial air fresheners, but it also fills your home with a refreshing, natural citrus scent.
Bonus: Citrus peels contain natural oils that act as a gentle disinfectant, making them perfect for cleaning surfaces, too!
2. Coffee Grounds as a Natural Deodorizer
Here’s a game-changing trick—coffee grounds are excellent at absorbing odors! If you’ve ever experienced unpleasant smells in your fridge, shoes, or car, you’ll be happy to know that coffee grounds can help neutralize them. Simply place a small bowl of fresh coffee grounds in the area where odors are lingering, and they’ll absorb the smells.
Not only do you get the bonus of a coffee-scented room, but you’re also repurposing something that would otherwise be thrown away!
3. Fixing Scratched Furniture with Walnuts
Have a wooden table or chair with scratches that are bugging you? You might not have to sand and refinish it completely—walnuts can actually work wonders for minor scratches. Rub the inside of a walnut on the scratch, and the oils will fill in the imperfection, blending the scratch with the surrounding wood. This simple trick is a fast and cheap way to restore the appearance of your furniture!
4. Use Baking Soda to Keep Your Fridge Fresh
We’ve all been there: a lingering food smell in the fridge that just won’t go away. Instead of constantly scrubbing or trying to mask the odor, place an open box of baking soda in the fridge. Baking soda absorbs odors and helps keep the air inside your refrigerator fresh. This easy trick can save you a lot of hassle, and it’s so inexpensive!
5. A Spoon for Perfectly Peeled Ginger
Peeling ginger can be a tricky task with its knobby, uneven surface, but here’s a surprising hack: instead of using a knife or a vegetable peeler, use a spoon to scrape the skin off! The spoon’s edge is perfect for getting into the crevices without wasting any of the ginger itself. It’s quick, easy, and you won’t lose any of the flavorful root. Trust me, once you try this, you’ll wonder why you didn’t know sooner!
6. Freeze Your Herbs in Olive Oil
Do you love fresh herbs, but often find that they go bad before you get a chance to use them? Here’s a tip that will change your cooking game: freeze herbs in olive oil! Simply chop your favorite herbs, place them in ice cube trays, and cover them with olive oil. Then, freeze them. The next time you need fresh herbs for a dish, just pop an herb cube into your pan! It’s an easy way to preserve the taste of summer herbs year-round.
7. Use a Lint Roller to Clean Lampshades
Ever notice that your lampshades attract dust and pet hair like magnets? Instead of trying to wipe them down, simply use a lint roller! The sticky sheets quickly pick up dust, hair, and debris, leaving your lampshades looking fresh. It’s a fast, effective, and gentle way to clean delicate fabrics!
