Default Neat Tricks About Life

As we meet people and have new experiences, we find out new ways to do things that we wouldn't have figured out otherwise.

I'm talking about the little things that make life easier if you know how to fix the problem.

Here are my two.

Hiccups - Take a deep breath and then hold your nose with your fingers and don't exhale for as long as you can. They'll be gone in 20-45 seconds.

Screw Ironing - Say you have a dress shirt that just has a few wrinkles in it or jeans that are kinda messed up because you didn't hang them correctly. Soak a towel in water and stick the clothes in a dryer with the towel and the humidity created from the towel water will fix most of the wrinkles.

warm water or cold water? This sounds great, as I usually waste a lot of time ironing. Sometimes I've hung clothes up in the shower and turned it on hot water and let them just steam out- works well if you need to "iron" multiple clothes at once. Can you do this towel trick with multiple articles of clothing? Also, how wet should it be...totally soaked or just damp?

It doesn't matter, yes, and damp.

I've heard that you can clean paint brushes by putting them in the freezer.
