10 Of The Most Genius Home Life Hacks That Will Amaze You

Whether you're looking to get your house spotless in a hurry or just want to add some extra aesthetic appeal to your space, there's an easy way to tackle all those tasks while saving yourself time along the way.

This clever hacks and tips will make your life much easier. They will help you to do your everyday tasks without a big effort.

1) REMOVE SMALL SCRATCHES ON FURNITURE WITH TOOTHPASTE

We all end up with small scratches in the finishes of our furniture from time to time. However, before you go spending hundreds of dollars to get your couch refinished, try using some toothpaste to get those marks out. Using a pea-sized amount of non-gel paste, rub the scratch in a circular motion until it buffs out, and then clean the remainder with a damp towel.

2) REMOVE CANDLE WAX FROM FURNITURE WITH ICE CUBES

3) AND GET IT OUT OF THE CARPET WITH A STEAM IRON

Spilled some hot wax on your shaggy carpet? No problem! Just put a paper bag over the wax and lightly go over the area with a steam iron. The steam will help lift the wax from the carpet and cause it to cling to the bag instead.

4) USE VINEGAR TO GET ODORS OUT OF YOUR MICROWAVE

If your microwave is smelling less than fresh, there's a simple way to get it clean and odor-free without using harsh chemicals. Just place a bowl of vinegar in the microwave for around five minutes and simply wipe it afterwards

5) USE TOWEL - WRAPPED TONGS TO CLEAN YOUR BLINDS

Having a hard time getting all the dust off your blinds? All it takes is a few items you already have in your home to get them squeaky clean. Simply wrap dish towels around either side of a pair of tongs, secure them with rubber bands, and you've got your very own DIY duster.

6) CLEAN YOUR BLENDER WITH DISH SOAP

Anyone who's ever attempted to clean a blender knows just how perilous doing so can be. After all, you're essentially sticking your hand into a pitcher of knives and hoping for the best. Thankfully, there's a safer and simpler way to clean your blender after you make a smoothie or shake. Add a little dish soap to your machine, pour in two cups of warm water, and blend until that grime is a thing of the past.

7) USE A MAGNETIC RACK TO KEEP SPICES TIDY

If you're like most people, your spice cabinet could probably use some serious reorganization. Fortunately, a magnetic spice rack can kill two birds with one stone by both making your spices more organized and giving you something to put on your fridge other than bills and grocery lists. It's decorative and it's functional—what could be better?

8) USE STICK-ON LED LIGHTS TO ILLUMINATE DARK CABINETS

If you're dealing with a darker-than-ideal kitchen, you can use some LED lights to brighten things up. Instead of installing pricey under-cabinet lighting, a few stick-on LEDs can help illuminate your counter tops and cabinets at virtually no cost.

9) HANG A PAINTING ON HINGES TO CONCEAL AN UNSIGHTLY ALARM SYSTEM

While alarm systems can give you peace of mind, they're not always pleasant to look at. And if you want to make your alarms blend seamlessly into your existing décor, all it takes is a piece of art and some hinges. Use two hinges to attach your painting to the wall near your alarm panel and you've got an easy way to cover it while keeping it accessible.

10) MAKE YOUR HOUSE SMELL FRESH BY WARMING A VANILLA BEAN IN WATER ON THE STOVE

Air fresheners may smell great, but what they're doing to your lungs isn't so terrific. Fortunately, there's a simple alternative: By simmering a vanilla bean in two cups of water on the stove (and adding some cloves of cinnamon if you want a spicier scent), you can perfume the air in your house without putting your health in jeopardy.
