Things You'll Need
Bottle Opener
Onion Bags
Paper Towels
Slice of Bread
Solution:
With all the things that we have going on, wouldn't it be nice to eliminate the little things that can be so frustrating? Here are some easy ways to do just that.
   
1. If you've ever tried to open a box that says, "push here", then you know it almost never works. Try pushing it in with a bottle opener. It will give a nice even push that will pop it right in.
 
2. Does your silverware drop through the bottom of the tray in the dishwasher so you can't roll out the rack? Just line the bottom of the tray with mesh onion bags. They won't allow the silverware to drop through, but will let the water drain out!
 
3. Those onion bags can also come in handy if you're trying to wash tiny items in the dishwasher. They'll hold them in place so that they don't slip through to the bottom.
 
4. If you've ever broken a glass you know it takes forever to get those little shards off the floor. Carefully pick up all of the big pieces and put them in a paper bag. Then use a wet paper towel to wipe up the small shards. They'll get caught in the towel and clean up easily. You can also use a slice of bread.
