3. Remove crayon masterpieces from your TV
or computer screen with WD40 (also works on walls).


4. Stop cut apples browning in your child’s lunch box by securing with a rubber band.

6. Pump up the volume by placing your iPhone / iPod in a bowl.
The concave shape amplifies the music.

7. Re-use a wet-wipes container to store plastic bags.


8. Add this item to your beach bag. Baby powder gets sand off your skin easily.
