Do you want to extend the battery life of your smartphone as much as possible? Since phones have an integrated rechargeable battery that can only be recharged a few thousand times, the more efficient you are, the better you can extend the lifespan of the battery. One simple way is to use the Wi-Fi connection as much as possible. The reason is simple: A Wi-Fi connection uses less power to access data than a cellular network. Another simple tip is to adjust the brightness of the screen. Just go into your phone's settings and dim the brightness level, or use the auto brightness setting. It will automatically adjust the screen's brightness to wherever you are, whether it's outside in the bright sun or inside in a dark room.

Hydrogen peroxide is one of the safest sanitizers to use when you have cuts and scrapes because when it interacts with a wound, it reacts by oxidizing germs and bacteria on contact. During the process, it turns into a simple compound of oxygen and water and is completely natural. But did you know hydrogen peroxide can be used for more than just a first-aid tool? Try disinfecting cutting boards with it (with a little white vinegar) to completely sanitize it. Or spray some hydrogen peroxide on the outside of fruits and vegetables; just mist the fruit and let it sit for a few minutes, then rinse with water.

Homes that have hard water are usually victim to showerheads and sink faucets that have white, caked-on mineral deposits that make for ineffective or sporadic water flow when using them. Instead of replacing them with new fixtures, try this inexpensive and eco-friendly way to clean them instead. Fill a freezer bag halfway with white vinegar, and immerse the fixture in the bag; use a rubber band to secure it in place, and leave it alone for at least two hours. The white vinegar will naturally break up the mineral deposits and leave it sparkling clean.
