Easy Way to Disinfect Legos

Children’s toys are a breeding ground for germs. A dishwasher makes quick work of disinfecting toys that are washable, like Legos. To quickly clean Legos:

1. Drop the Legos in a laundry bag to keep them contained.
2. Run your dishwasher as usual.
3. But, remove the Legos before the drying cycle, letting them air dry completely on a towel.
4. This method also works well for other treasures like seashells, dish brushes, rags and sponges.

Renew Your Furniture in Minutes

My son plastered all of the furniture in his room with stickers from skate shops, arenas and gumball machines. Once he moved out, I wanted to use his furniture in the new guest room, without the stickers. I peeled off all the stickers using a putty knife in combination with hair dryer, to soften the adhesive. Some are harder to remove than others, but I had them all off in a couple hours. – Steve Winter

Painters tape shelf hanging template

Take the guesswork out of hanging picture frames, shelves and other items with “keyhole” hangers. To begin:

Stick a piece of masking tape over the keyholes, and then trace over the keyholes with a pencil, making a template.

Making sure it’s level, stick the template on the wall where you want the shelf.

Drill your anchor holes or screws into the template and remove it.
