Use a pair of rubber gloves to easily remove pet hair from furniture! The trick is to wet the gloves a little and it acts like a magnet to the hair. Then all you have to do is simply rinse the gloves to get it off.

Daily Task #34 Tuesday February 3rd 2015.
Each day I am going to be posting a daily task for getting the home neat and tidy, clean and decluttered and of course -ORGANISED!
Each task will take between 5 and 15 minutes with the occasional one lasting up to an hour. But it's really up to you how long you want to take doing each task.
Daily Task #34 Tuesday February 3rd 2015.
TODAY'S TASK
Wipe down the kitchen tiles.
(Tip: I like to use a toothbrush to get in the gaps.)

Clothes Organising
Here's a fab idea for organising clothes in your wardrobe...
Colour coded hangers. You can either get different colour hangers or simply transform some wooden ones with funky paint.
I've organised my wardrobe into FOUR MAIN sections:
🌸 Spring
☀️ Summer
🍂 Autumn
❄️ Winter
After some experimentation with painting wooden hangers I've decided to go with:
Pastel PINK for 🌸 Spring
Lemon YELLOW for ☀️ Summer
Burnt ORANGE for 🍂 Autumn
Powder BLUE for ❄️ Winter
Don't forget to put each section together in the wardrobe!
Organising your clothes.
Here's a great idea for organising clothes...
You can either find some fancy boxes or simply use some cardboard boxes, add your own labels and bits of string and Volià!
Great for separating different clothes that disappear in the back of the wardrobe or bottom of the drawer. It's a perfectly neat and compact solution...no clutter in sight. There's no end of possibilities!

Chips and Dip -Clever Serving Idea.
A great tip for entertaining - add a wine glass to a serving bowl before adding the crisps, then fill the wine glass with your dip. It not only looks cool but saves space and is practical!
(Not just for entertaining! Very practical if it's just you or for cosy nights in as two!)

Clever Book Shelf
Here's a fab idea for a bookshelf.
It saves your place and stores your books, it would be easy to make with a little MDF or timber and some nice paint.
Filling Nail Holes
Here is a great tip for filling nail holes. Just take a bar of soap and rub over the hole until the soap fills the cavity. This is great for anyone renting, especially for white painted walls. It's an easy way to get your deposit/ bond back!

Stylish Under-Bed Storage
Take some old drawers, paint them up, add some funky handles and some wheels -instant under-bed storage that pulls out! (Kitchen drawers are good for this project!)
Handy D.I.Y
Here's a great idea for when you are doing a D.I.Y project.
Take a muffin tin and fill each of the sections with the different screws and nails etc. that you'll be using. You can place it on the top of the step ladder or next to you where you're working, saving you going back down the ladder to get another pesky screw.

How to stop a pan over-boiling.
Pretty neat trick that actually works! It has to be a wooden spoon, in practice metal and plastic ones don't work.
