5 Easy Home Organization and Upkeep Tricks that Everyone Should Know!

1. Luminous Light Switch

Finding your light switch in the dark can be tricky, especially for kids! Instead of searching around, add a dab of glow-in-the-dark paint. This can be found at your local hardware or paint store. They may have glow-in-the-dark stickers or light covers that work just as well! 

2. Keep Pictures Level

A pinch of sticky-tack (that sticky stuff used to hang posters) prevents picture frames from tilting without harming walls. People notice details!

3. Suck Out Drain Clogs

A way to unclog your bathtub drain is to use a wet-dry vacuum. If you need to increase suction, seal around the nozzle with a wet rag. OneContact’s light plumbing services can handle all your clogged drains so that you spend less time dealing with the mess and more time getting back to what you enjoy the most. 

4. Stir-Stick Paint Organizer

A creative way to organize all your paint cans is to display your stir sticks with your paint can! Drill a hole in your stir stick and let it hang above the pain can. With both the color formula and a dried paint sample in view, you don’t have to pull down every can to find the right one for touch-ups. 

5. Bread Tabs for Labeling Cords

Have you ever been unsure which cord goes with which electronic device in your power strip? Save yourself the time and energy following the cord by simply labeling them. Plastic bread tabs are great for labeling cords that are already plugged in. They’re also sturdy and have enough space to write and can easily slip on. You’ll definitely be able to identify your power cords.
