When something goes wrong around the house, the first thing that probably comes to mind is to call a professional. Unfortunately, calling in the experts can be extremely costly and may not fit into a tight budget. Even a service call for something small can be expensive, so we procrastinate and hold off fixing those little thing until we wake up one day and there are a ton of little issues going on in our home. It can certainly be overwhelming but it’s not necessary to allow home repairs to be the cause of unneeded stress, anxiety or an empty bank account. There are many tips and tricks to taking care of minor home repair isssues and each one is easy and will definitely save some cash!
Sqeaky Door Hinges
Spray a bit of silicone spray directly on to the hinges while moving the door back and forth. This allows the lubricant to work through the hinge. Petroleum Jelly also does the trick!
Stubborn Sliding Windows
Whether you have metal, wood or plastic window tracks in your home, silicone spray will help them move along with ease. Simply spray a bit on a rag and wipe the tracks thoroughly.
Hard To Remove Lightbulb
Cut a two-foot piece of duct tape and wrap it in a loose loop around the lightbulb (sticky side in.) Press the excess tape on either side together so that it forms two handles. Turn counter-clockwise and voila!
Broken Lightbulb
Round the end of the potato with a knife, jam it into the socket and turn. It should come out easily and with not cuts or scrapes to your fingers.
