12 Everyday Problems Resolved With Pro Tips I Can Bet You Didn't Know

#1 Keep Your Boots in Shape

Glass bottles can be very useful for preserving the shape of your boots and keeping them looking new.

#2 Problem: Eating an ice cream cone

Don't you just hate when the ice cream melts its way through your cone and into your hand?

Solution: Marshmallows

Marshmallows are the perfect solution. Put marshmallows at the bottom to prevent your ice cream cone from dripping (and also prevent sadness) ;)

#3 Problem: Keeping flies out of your business

Having a picnic or barbecue or any outdoor activity which includes food can be really problematic because of the flies that it would it attract.

Solution: Cloves in Cut Lemons

Instead of wasting time on swatting them (or trying to), put cloves in cut lemons and set them around your picnic. That will keep those critters away.

#4 Removing Crayon Marks

Instead of wasting time and energy using soap, scrub your walls with mayonnaise. The grease will dissolve the crayon.

#5 Removing Scuff Marks From Your Floor

Rubbing a tennis ball on your floors is the easiest solution for removing unsightly scuffs.

#6 Peeling a Banana

Instead of tearing your banana open from the stem, flip it over and pinch the other end to easily separate and unpeel it.

Bonus: Now you can use the stem as a handle!

#7 Propping up your iPhone

Fold an old cassette case backwards so it props itself up on a table, to make an iPhone stand.

#8 Organizing ornaments

Use egg cartons to store your Christmas ornaments.

#9 Problem: Sorting papers

It becomes sort of tiresome to lick your finger and flip the page after every two that you read (it may have the same effect as this GIF image).

Solution: Rubber bands

Instead of licking your fingers, tie rubber bands around them for quick page-flipping.

#10 Problem: Smelly Room and Expensive Air Fresheners

You room may become smelly more often than seldom. Which compels you to buy and use expensive air fresheners which don't even last long.

Solution: Coffee Grounds

Sprinkle coffee grounds on newspaper and put that in your fireplace instead of using expensive air fresheners.

#11 Storing cords

To keep them from getting tangled up, wrap each cord neatly on its own toilet paper tube.

#12 Ironing your collar

Use a hair straightener to keep those collar tips looking sharp.
