Oversized beach towels don’t just have to be for summer fun, they can help redecorate a home. Solid-colored towels are large enough to tuck into sofas to give them a new look and protect your furniture. The best part? If the towel gets a stain or the family dog sheds all over it, you can just untuck it and wash it clean.

Empty your junk drawer of those little condiment packets of lemon juice and sugar and pour them right into your hands. Scrub away; the sugar exfoliates dead skin and the lemon juice disinfects germs. This is a great thing to do when traveling on a plane to keep your hands clean, soft and germ-free.

An easy way to update a torn or dirty lampshade is to simply cover the outside of it with cork contact sheets. Genuine cork sheets are available at any home improvement store and have an adhesive backing on them. Just cut the sheets of cork to the size of the lampshade and peel and stick onto the shade.
