Attach Rubber Bands to Slippery Knife Handles for Extra Grip

When it comes to cutting things, I’m all thumbs. Others in my house break out in a cold sweat when they see me pick up the butcher knife. I recently discovered that if you attach rubber bands to slippery knife handles for extra grip, you may just save your loved ones from having to drive you to the emergency room. Perhaps it’s not that dramatic for you, but using elastics on knife handles will make all the difference in your chopping endeavors. Use caution with any of the bonus hacks shown in this video, we cringed during several, including when they demonstrate that you should cut away from yourself by first showing someone cutting towards their hand – Yikes!

Floor Cleaning Hack, Forget the Mop Bucket!

forget the mop bucket

Forget the mop bucket! This is a great 10 minute floor cleaning hack, especially for dried up spills. Be sure to sweep the floor first. Find an empty spray bottle, fill it with a solution of your favorite floor cleaner (I love Murphy Oil Soap myself) and water. Read directions on floor cleaner bottle for proper measurements. Saturate entire floor with spray and let sit for 5 minutes in order to loosen up the dirt. Go over with a clean damp mop. I like to rinse the mop out once after this in the sink then go over the floor one more time to remove any soap residue…and it gets the floor extra clean!
