Over 2 billion disposable razors are thrown away every year, with just about none of them recycled. The largest manufacturer of razors, Gillette, wants to change that by taking back razors (any brand) for recycling. Simply register on their website, collect razors in a box and send them in to be recycled. And if you’re a member of their subscription service, you can use their shipping boxes to send back razors (again, of any brand) to be recycled. The old razors are separated by material and recycled into new products.

Most of us are familiar with the old trick about applying hairspray to remove an ink stain. While this hack actually worked in the past, it probably won’t when you try it today, because many modern hairspray products use less alcohol than those in years past, or are alcohol-free. So when your ballpoint pen creates a stain, what household item can you use instead? Reach for rubbing alcohol. Simply saturate the stain and let it sit for about 15 minutes; the stain will magically disappear. Use an eye dropper for targeting smaller stains!

Is the forecast calling for a hot, dry, sunshine-filled day? Use the opportunity to harness the natural deodorizing properties of sunlight and give your hard-to-clean items a freshening up! Sunlight contains ultraviolet light, which can destroy the DNA of odor-causing bacteria. Letting things like pillows, blankets, towels and even clothes lie out in the sun for a few hours can help clean them. The key thing is to make sure it’s a very dry day. Humidity in the air can actually worsen the problem, as bacteria loves a moist environment.
