The Best Home Repair Hacks from Your Local Repairman

Clean Showerhead

If you have an old showerhead, it's time to ask when the last time you cleaned it was...a while right? The hack for this is easy. Just fill a plastic bucket with vinegar and soak the appliance in it for a few hours or overnight. Once you wash off the vinegar, it should be good as new!

Potato Screwer

If you've misplaced your screwdriver, don't worry, there's a hack for that! Another option is using the pointed tip of a vegetable peeler. It won't be as quick, that's for sure, but it'll work just the same. Make sure to clean it before using it for veggies again though...

  • If you find your fitted sheets slipping off the corners of your bed, look no further than your closet for an easy fix. Just use a pair of elastic suspenders, clipping one end to each corner under the mattress, and your sheet will stay put.
  • If the wine's room temperature, you can ease that cork out by heating the neck of the bottle with a hair dryer. Just make sure you're not doing this with sparkling wine or wine that's been refrigerated or you could break the bottle or cause the cork to forcefully eject.
