Making a house into a home is no easy (or cheap!) task. There's an awful lot of work to get done, so why not do it the best way possible? These life hacks will make getting your house in shape for summer extremely simple...
Toilet Kool-Aid
Worried about a leaky toilet? Of course, it seems like it's the worst-case scenario! Ease your mind by putting some Kool-Aid or other colored dye in the water. Just keep yourself from flushing for about 30 minutes, and if colored water shows up in the toilet bowl, there’s a leak!
Stop Squeaks
Stop a squeaky floor with just a little bit of baby powder! Rub it in on the areas that give a little more noise than other parts of the house. Use a makeup brush to get in between the tiny cracks. Sweep up any excess and you've got a totally soundless floor!
