Ants Hate This One Trick…

If you’re tired of ants invading your kitchen like an army on a mission, white distilled vinegar is your secret weapon.

Ants rely on pheromone trails to find food, but vinegar disrupts their chemical communication, making your home a confusing mess (for them, not you).

Just pour a line of vinegar around entry points or wipe down surfaces with a 50/50 vinegar-water mix.

Plus your house will smell extra clean (for a little while, at least).

Plunger-Free Plumbing: The Magic Flush Hack

So, you’ve clogged the toilet. No plunger? No problem!

Instead of panicking, heat up some water until it’s hot (but not boiling) and mix in a generous amount of salt.

The heat helps break down waste, while the salt acts like a natural abrasive to dissolve the clog. Let it sit for 5 minutes, then flush.

It’s like giving your toilet a DIY spa treatment—no awkward hardware store runs required!

Revive Your Sharpie In 5 Seconds Flat

Dried-out Sharpie? Before you toss it, bring it back to life with a simple chemistry trick.

Alcohol-based markers dry out when their solvent evaporates, but a little rubbing alcohol can rehydrate the tip.

Pour a small dish of rubbing alcohol, let the marker tip soak for a few minutes, then cap it and leave it for an hour.

Boom—your Sharpie is back in business!
