Attach a wide-toothed comb with hot glue to your dustpan in order to brush out all the debris and dust bunnies from your broom. This dollar hack is a copycat of a $25 dustpan I saw at the Home Goods store.

A bed in the process of having the sheets changed.
Changing Sheets an Easier WayWork smarter, not harder. When changing your sheets, begin by tossing your bed cover over to the opposite side, out of the way. Then place your clean fitted sheet and flat sheet on top of your bed, unfolded. Peel off the first corner of the sheets your changing, replace that same corner with the clean sheets, pocket first, then flat over the top.

Homemade peanut butter suet in plastic containers.
Suet for the BirdsIf I get a good sale price on peanut butter, then I can make my own for less or about the same price as store bought. I like to make it because I can add what I want and the birds seem to like it better homemade. I have bought cases of suet they did not care for, so I melted them down and added peanut butter and they loved it.

Baking Soda and Peroxide for Cleaning GroutI have always used baking soda and peroxide in the spray bottle with some warm water and a scrub brush and it works wonders! Spray it and scrub it. It gets the grout very clean, the white will be very very white.

A brand new looking computer keyboard after cleaning.
Cleaning a Keyboard with Isopropyl AlcoholWhen I have guests over, I often get questioned on how I keep my keyboard so new and white. The truth is that my keyboard is NOT always clean. I clean my keyboard bi-weekly with Q-tips and isopropyl alcohol. Try this and your keyboard will be brand new again!

Using a disposable razor to remove lint and pills from your clothing.
Remove Lint From Your ClothesWe all hate the little fuzz balls that end up on our clothes after washing and drying them. They make our clothes look old and grungy. One option many people use to combat this is by using a battery operated fabric shaver. There are a few disadvantages to these.

A spread out paper towel, drying on the counter.
Reuse Paper Towels and NapkinsIn our household, if you opt to use paper towels/napkins to dry your hands after washing then the paper towel/napkin should be used for at least another 2 times.

A plastic bag hanging on a walker with shower curtain hooks.
Shower Hooks To Hang a Bag On a WalkerMy mom was having a hard time using her walker and trying to clean up the house. Using shower hooks, I hooked a bag on there so she could pick things up on her way through the house. Then she can sit down to sort it all out.

A clean section of gutter under a brick wall.
Cleaning Vinyl Siding and GuttersI used Car Wash, purchased from Walmart, to clean the gutters, vinyl siding, heat and air conditioner and the awnings. It cut the dirt quickly and left a nice finish. I really like this product.

A clean grout line on a tiled floor.
Magic Eraser for GroutMy bathroom floor grout needed cleaning. I was very impressed with the job the Magic Erasers did. It was quick and easy. I used the knock-offs and cut them into thirds to use as few as possible. Wet them just to moisten.
