When the toilet plunger doesn’t get the job done, you can try your liquid dishwashing soap. About ½ cup and let it sit for a few minutes. Liquid soap often allows the bowl’s content to slide through.
WOOD DENTS
Having wood furniture at home look classy and elevated but this would also mean deep marks and dents will be inevitable. There’s a way to remove those dents without resorting to power tools, all you need is a home iron. Put a little water in the dent, then lay a moist towel over it. Heat up your iron and then move it over the towel in circles, pressing down on it for a few minutes. The heat and water should rehydrate the wood, allowing it to puff up.
DOOR HINGES
When door hinges start to squeak, you can spray some lubricant into the middle of the hinge to quiet them. If it won’t work, try knocking the hinge pin up about halfway with a screwdriver and hammer, and then rubbing some lubricant. Tap it back down and then move the door back and forth, and the noise will be gone.

After a few years of daily use, the minerals in water—not to mention dirt and sloughed-off skin cells—can make any tub look yellowish and old. Here’s the magic mixture, mix up equal amounts of baking soda and cream of tartar with lemon juice until it forms a paste. Put it on the stained parts of the tub.
