Spring Cleaning Hacks You'll Wish You'd Found Out Years Ago

Dishwasher Rack Doubles as Storage

If your old dishwasher is ready to go, save the rolling rack and use it as under-bed storage. You can organize the mess you've neglected under beds, sofas, or even in closets. Dishwashers don't have to be useful only in the kitchen.

The More You Know

In a pinch for labels? Just reach for the rubber bands. Wrap ’em around your mason jars and you’ll never mistake salt for sugar again.
If you've accidentally dripped candle wax onto your carpet, there is hope yet. First, put a paper bag down over the wax, then lightly go over the affected area with a steam iron. The steam will help lift the wax from the carpet and allow it to cling to the bag instead.
Want to dry out flowers quickly and easily? Just use the clips on a pants hanger to hold the stems of your flowers so they're hanging bulb down, and leave them in a cool, dry place to dehydrate.
Pour pure aloe vera juice (available at most drugstores) into an ice tray, and then freeze it for an always ready-to-apply salve for sunburns.
