Organizing a home and accomplishing household chores as well as doing even the smallest home improvement project is quite overwhelming. And I bet you would agree with me when I say that, sometimes, these little things can also get into our nerves.

While it is true that in every task that you need to do, there are tools or equipment that you can utilize to complete them, there are also other things that you can do to actually make it a lot easier to get them done. It’s just a matter of being creative and thinking outside the box.

Here are seven home hacks we wished we knew sooner:

Use a Shoe Holder to Organize Little Stuff

Do you have a bunch of small items, like threads and other sewing materials, cleaning supplies, spices, etc. all over your house? If so, why don’t you utilize a shoe holder to organize them? You can sort things out and put them in the compartments. This will absolutely make your life so much easier. Plus, you can just hang the shoe holder on the wall or at the back of the door, and you will be able to free up some space.

Try Some Ice Cubes in the Dryer and Say Goodbye to Wrinkles

Nobody wants to put wrinkly clothes on, but at the same time, ironing is something that most of us hate to do. It’s time-consuming and very tiring too!

If you are washing light fabrics, throwing some ice cubes in the dryer will do the trick. As the ice melts, it will turn into steam, which will then remove the wrinkles.
