October 31, 2019

As it’s always a wise idea to hunt for new home and garden tips which will help your garden and home look as good as possible, simply continue reading to discover a handy guide to maintaining your home and garden.

6 Useful home and garden tips:

Repurpose your coffee bag ties to keep your cables tied up neatly:

If the cables in your home such as your laptops’s charger and your extension cords constantly get twisted, it’s a great idea to repurpose your coffee bag ties in order to keep your cables neatly tied up. This is also a great tip to securely store cables, which you don’t use on a regular basis.

Paint your light switches with a glow in the dark paint:

If you have trouble finding your light switches in the dark, it’s a great idea to use a small paint brush to paint the end of your light switches with a clear paint, which glows in the dark. It’s a particularly great idea to paint your bedroom light switch with an inexpensive neon paint, as it’s frustrating trying to turn your bedroom light on, if you wake up in the middle of the night. Especially if your bedroom features blackout curtains, which will cause your room to appear pitch black in the middle of the night.

Place rubber mesh underneath your dining chairs’ pillows:

If you have decorative pillows on your dining chairs, in order to ensure that your guests are comfortable when you’re enjoying social meals, you may struggle with keeping your pillows in place. As they may have a tendency to slip and slide out of place. One simple trick to remember in order to ensure that your pillows stay in place, is to place rubber mesh underneath each pillow, so that your pillows will stick to your dining chairs.

Cover your skin in body lotion before you start painting your walls or the exterior of your house:

In order to avoid getting paint on your face, arms and legs, you can’t go wrong opting to lather your exposed body parts with a thick body lotion, before you get to work. As paint will be unlikely to stick to your body lotion, so you’ll be able to paint your walls or your house, without getting covered in paint.

Only use compost in your garden which has been cured for six months:

Whatever you do, never make the mistake of pouring compost into your garden which has been cured for less months. The reason being that compost which hasn’t been cured properly will have a high acidity level, which will promptly kill your grass, flowers, fruit trees or vegetable plants. So if you enjoy the results of using compost in your garden, ensure that your compost has been cured for six months, before using it in your garden.

Keep in mind that perennial flowers require three full years to mature:

If you’re tempted to pull out your perennial flowers before they’ve had a chance to bloom, keep in mind that perennial flowers actually require three full years in order to mature and bloom.

So if you’d love to be able to maintain your home and garden with less effort, it’s well worth experimenting with trying out a few of the 6 home and garden tips which are listed above.
