Keep your kitchen and bathroom counters clutter free with these multi-purpose storage baskets. (via – Amazon) 77.) Ironing a shirt with buttons?

If you accidentally sit on gum and get it stuck to your clothes try this trick to get it off. Boil some vinegar and pour it on the gum. Use an old toothbrush to wipe it off. 92.)

You’ll also be able to carry more groceries into your home at once and make fewer trips back to the car. 93.) Get something stuck in your eye? Fill the sink or a large bowl with water. Submerge your face in the water and then open your eyes. The item will fall right out. 94.) Poke a few holes in the lid of a small mason jar. Place some wax melts in the jar and keep it on your car. As your car warms up in the summer heat, the wax will melt and make your car smell amazing. 95.) Easily clean gas stove burners. Place the burners inside a gallon size ziploc bag. Pour in 2 to 3 tablespoons of ammonia and let it sit for 12 hours. The gunk and grime will wipe right off. (via – Pinching Your Pennies) 96.)

Is your house smelling a little funky? Place a tablespoon of vanilla extract in a small oven safe dish and place it in the oven at 300 degrees for one hour. Within a few minutes your whole house will smell amazing. 98.) You can wash a shower curtain liner in the washing machine. Don’t waste your time scrubbing the mildew off your shower curtain. Just toss it in the washing machine with a couple towels and add a small amount of bleach (or vinegar for a more environmentally safe alternative). When it’s done washing hang it back in place to dry, making sure that the bottom edge is inside the tub or shower to catch any drips. 99.) Make a these healthy yogurt drops. This is a great, healthy alternative to ice cream during the summer. (via – 1000LifeHacks) 100.) You can use a bleach pen to clean your grout. Just run the pen along your grout, leave it for 5 minutes and then wipe it off. 101.) Store your lettuce in your salad spinner. After washing your lettuce, use your spinner to remove as much water as possible and then store it in your fridge. The lettuce spinner acts as a crisper and keeps it fresher for longer. I do this every time we purchase lettuce and it’s still been good 2 to 3 weeks later. 102.) Keep your swimming pool cleaner with tennis balls. When your swimming in the pool sweat, lotions, and sunscreen come off in the water. The greasy substance will rise to the surface creating a film across the top of your water. Once everyone is out of the pool toss in 4 or 5 tennis balls. The grease will cling to them as they float around the pool. Toss the tennis balls in the washing machine or dishwasher clean them and reuse again later. If you enjoyed this post, don’t forget to pin it for later.

Put a dab of toothpaste of a damp cloth and scrub it over the mark until it’s no longer visible. 69.) Put your recipe cards in a clear ziploc bag before you start cooking. The ziploc bag will protect the card and keep it clean if anything spills on it. 70.) Make your own headphone buds using earplugs. (via – Diy Relics) 71.)

Perfect for craftsman, builders, and DIYers. (via – Amazon) 74.) To extract a splinter fill a small glass jar about 3/4 of the way full with hot water.

Keep your kitchen and bathroom counters clutter free with these multi-purpose storage baskets. (via – Amazon) 77.) Ironing a shirt with buttons? Sometimes the buttons are too close together and the iron is to large to fit between them. Try using a hair straightener instead. It easily fits between the buttons and will leave your shirt wrinkle free. 78.) If you step in gum spray WD-40 on your shoe. The gum will slide right off. 79.) Use a shower caddy to store and organize baby bottles and pacifiers. (via – Brook McDaniel’s Facebook) 80.) Use shower curtain rings to organize belts.

Place 1 and 1/2 cups milk in the microwave and heat up until it’s hot but not boiling. Add in 4 tablespoons of vinegar and stir for about a minute. The vinegar will cause the milk to clump up. Use a strainer to strain the liquid out. Press your “plastic” into a cookie cutter or other form and then set aside for a couple days until it’s dry. 83.) Does your garbage disposal stink? Chop up a lemon and place the pieces inside an ice cube tray. Fill the tray up with vinegar and freeze. Pop one in the garbage disposal and turn it on anytime you need to clean it.

If you accidentally sit on gum and get it stuck to your clothes try this trick to get it off. Boil some vinegar and pour it on the gum. Use an old toothbrush to wipe it off. 92.)

You’ll also be able to carry more groceries into your home at once and make fewer trips back to the car. 93.) Get something stuck in your eye? Fill the sink or a large bowl with water. Submerge your face in the water and then open your eyes. The item will fall right out. 94.) Poke a few holes in the lid of a small mason jar. Place some wax melts in the jar and keep it on your car. As your car warms up in the summer heat, the wax will melt and make your car smell amazing. 95.) Easily clean gas stove burners. Place the burners inside a gallon size ziploc bag. Pour in 2 to 3 tablespoons of ammonia and let it sit for 12 hours. The gunk and grime will wipe right off. (via – Pinching Your Pennies) 96.) Use the metal ring from a mason jar lid to make perfectly round eggs for breakfast sandwiches. Just place the ring on your pan then crack an egg and place inside the ring. 97.) Is your house smelling a little funky? Place a tablespoon of vanilla extract in a small oven safe dish and place it in the oven at 300 degrees for one hour. Within a few minutes your whole house will smell amazing. 98.) You can wash a shower curtain liner in the washing machine. Don’t waste your time scrubbing the mildew off your shower curtain. Just toss it in the washing machine with a couple towels and add a small amount of bleach (or vinegar for a more environmentally safe alternative). When it’s done washing hang it back in place to dry, making sure that the bottom edge is inside the tub or shower to catch any drips. 99.) Make a these healthy yogurt drops. This is a great, healthy alternative to ice cream during the summer. (via – 1000LifeHacks) 100.) You can use a bleach pen to clean your grout. Just run the pen along your grout, leave it for 5 minutes and then wipe it off. 101.) Store your lettuce in your salad spinner. After washing your lettuce, use your spinner to remove as much water as possible and then store it in your fridge. The lettuce spinner acts as a crisper and keeps it fresher for longer. I do this every time we purchase lettuce and it’s still been good 2 to 3 weeks later. 102.) Keep your swimming pool cleaner with tennis balls. When your swimming in the pool sweat, lotions, and sunscreen come off in the water. The greasy substance will rise to the surface creating a film across the top of your water. Once everyone is out of the pool toss in 4 or 5 tennis balls. The grease will cling to them as they float around the pool. Toss the tennis balls in the washing machine or dishwasher clean them and reuse again later. If you enjoyed this post, don’t forget to pin it for later.
