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

Clean Makeup Brushes in the Dishwasher

You shouldn't do this every time you run your dishwasher, but once a month it wouldn't hurt to throw your cosmetic brushes in the utensil holder and run a normal cycle. You'll be amazed at how sparkly clean they'll be when they come out.

The More You Know

Most cutting boards don’t come with any kind of rubber surface on the bottom to prevent them from sliding on a countertop, but with a couple of rubber bands, you can stabilize your cutting board and keep it from moving around during use.
