Sharpen Your Knives
Having a sharp knife is ideal in the kitchen. You don't want to ruin the perfect cut just because you have a dull knife! If you don't have a knife sharpener handy, a ceramic plate will definitely do the trick. Just the bottom-raised part and give the knife a few good scrapes. It'll be as good as new!
Keep Those Rugs in Place
Oddly enough, rug pads are super expensive. Luckily, there are other ways to make sure your rug isn't rolling around all over the place. All you need to do is attach velcro to the floor and to the rug. Then, stick them together! No more slipping and sliding on your padless rug.
