Life Hacks That Actually Work

The trick is that the oil in the walnut gets absorbed by the natural wood which helps remove the damaged spots. It's pretty neat!

The More You Know

  • Next time you have a sore neck or back, don’t reach for an electric heating pad. Instead, fill a sock with uncooked rice, tie the end and microwave it for two or three minutes.
  • Every homeowner should have a flexible-shaft pick-up tool for grabbing stuff out of hard-to reach spots. They're also great for yanking clogs out of drains!
  • Run your wrists under cold water or rub an ice cube on your pulse points to cool down all over quickly when you get overheated.
  • Tossed onto a hot grill, fresh onions are great for more than a savory kebab. The pungent bulb can also help clean the grill itself.
