Does pet hair seem permanently trapped in your carpets where no amount of vacuuming can free it? While a vacuum can do a great job at suctioning up dirt, the weight of the vac can actually compress the fur more deeply into the fibers of the carpet. To free trapped pet hair, head to the shower and grab a squeegee. Running the squeegee across the rug creates static electricity that can draw up the pet fur. As it comes up, it’ll clump and make collection easy, leaving you with a truly clean rug.

If your car is leaking fluids like motor oil, it’s important to get it repaired by your mechanic as soon as possible. It can be hard to tell if your car actually has a leak, so try this trick: On a clean, dry floor, place newspaper underneath and around the car overnight. Check the newspaper the next day to see if there are any wet or oily marks. Keep in mind that small drops here and there may be the damp garage environment or air conditioning condensation rather than leaks from the car. But any significant markings are reason enough to have the car checked by an auto shop.

Calcium and lime deposit stains on the insides of coffeepots and tea kettles are among the most stubborn things to clean. Getting a sponge or scrubby brush inside can be next to impossible, so try this nontoxic solution instead. Simply fill the pot with equal parts very hot water and vinegar, and let it sit overnight. The mild acid in the vinegar will break down the deposits. Thoroughly rinse it out the next morning and your coffeepot or tea kettle will look as good as new.
