Versatility is the secret of life. Ok, maybe not entirely, but when it comes to running a household, multi-purposing reigns supreme. If a seemingly “uni-purpose” item can have a double identity (think, tongs by day, lemon squeezer by night), imagine the time, money and sanity you’ll save! Plus, you’ll look so darn clever and resourceful next time you’re entertaining.
Do you think that there are limited things around the house that can be repurposed? We’re here to instantly make you think again. There’s more to almost every utensil, scrubber, and more than you think.
Here are ten household items that do double duty as well as Clark Kent does Superman.
10. Kitchen Sponge As A Fabric-Pill Remover
Teeny bits of fuzz and pills happen to be the unlucky articles of clothing in closets and drawers in the world over. Say good riddance with the abrasive scrubbing side of a cellulose sponge.
9. Unglazed Tile As A Pizza Stone
Homemade pizza aficionados rejoice! Forgo the chic branded stone, and opt for an unglazed quarry tile (they look like terracotta pots) from a home hardware store. Bonus: they’re usually the most inexpensive in the store.
8. Dishwashing Gloves As A Pet Hair Remover
It couldn’t be simpler. 1) Put on gloves, 2) Wipe affected area and 3) Vacuum little piles of fur.
7. Ice Cream Scooper As A Cupcake Batter Depositor
Want to make your cupcakes look Pinterest-worthy? Use a trigger release ice cream scooper to make perfectly uniform cupcakes when doling out the batter. The release helps scrape the batter too, making sure none of it goes to waste!
6. Vegetable Peeler As A Slicer/Shaver
Need a pretty chocolate garnish for your dessert? Or some cheese curls to add to your mac and cheese? A vegetable peeler (or Y slicer) will do the trick.
5. Tongs As A Lemon Squeezer And…
Place half a lemon in between the arms of the tongs, and press the arms together to push and squeeze the juice out of the lemon.
…And As A Helping Hand
Can’t reach the top of the shelf? Tongs are handy to grab that hard-to-reach bottle of spice tucked just far enough away to be able to reach comfortably.
4. Dental Floss As A Precision Cutter
Perfect for precisely cutting through cookie dough rolls for a uniform cookie!
