It doesn’t matter how perfect or beautiful your home is, no matter how much you clean it or how you redesign your home, there are always these niggling issues that appear out of nowhere and become difficult to manage! New cracks on the divider, a smelly house, or water dripping from the faucet in the washroom, are just a few common examples. We all deal with these annoying home issues, but the question is how fast and effectively can we deal with them?
So, to help you out, we have come up with the most effective solutions for the 6 most annoying home issues! Odds are you’re dealing with a few of them, right now!
1. How to make your home smell fresh every day?
A fresh-smelling house is way more inviting and comfortable than a smelly one! To make your house smell fresh, you can either buy a home freshener of your choice or DIY an organic room freshener. To make a DIY freshener try this: Simmer water in a small pan, and put lime peels and cinnamon sticks into it. Let it simmer for some time. You will see that your house is brimming with the sweet smell of the concoction.
2. How to get rid of the squeaking sound of wooden floors?
While hardwood floors are intended to give a strong, noise-free experience once finished, wear and tear and moisture over time can affect the wood segments which causes a squeaking noise when you walk over it. One of the simplest and easiest ways to get rid of the squeaking sound is by sprinkling some talcum powder over the affected region. Work the powder down into the breaks between hardwood boards with the tip of a putty knife or a broom. Once done, walk over the affected area a few times to work the powder down into the joints.
3. How to fix a foggy double-pane window?
There’s no handy solution for this one. It happens when the windows aren’t vacuum-fixed properly in the beginning, and the moisture can’t wick outside. Your best option is to replace the glass, not the whole window.
4. What’s the best way to hang pictures and artwork?
Rules to follow when hanging pictures: Don’t eyeball it. In case you plan to hang numerous pictures, make use of newspaper to make templates of your frames that you can arrange on the divider using painter’s tape. Don’t align pictures to the roof or floor. Instead, draw a faint line a few inches down from the ceiling and utilize that as your beginning point.
5. How to get rid of rust stains from a porcelain sink?
Make use of toothpaste to get rid of those ugly rust stains! Simply cover the stains in toothpaste for 10-15 mins. Now, sprinkle some baking soda onto it, and rub out the stains with the help of a clean and soft cloth.
6. How to fix a running toilet?
The most well-known guilty party here is the rubber flapper, which enables water to spill out of the tank to the bowl when you flush. To get rid of this annoying issue, first, confirm that the flapper is the reason by dropping some food color into the tank. Hold on for a couple of minutes. In case you see the food color seeping into the bowl, go to the nearest hardware store to get another flapper.
