Cool house secrets that you didn't even know!

Here are some cool house secrets and tricks that can make life at home easier, more practical and sometimes even surprising:

1. Lemons for radiant cleanliness
Use half a lemon to remove limestone spots on taps or in the bath. Simply rub, leave on and rinse.
A lemon in the microwave heats, cleanses it and lets it smell good. Simply place a few lemon slices in a bowl with water and heat for 5 minutes.
2. Save space with hidden storage solutions
Install extendable shelves or hanging drawers among the kitchenettes.
Hidden drawers in stairs offer storage space for small things such as shoes or children's toys.
3. Simple DIY scented solutions
Fill a glass with baking soda, add a few drops of essential oil, and cover it with a breathable fabric. This absorbs smells and yields a pleasant scent.
4. Repairing Crat Cretators Doors
A drop of olive oil or vaseline can work wonders to immobilise creaking hinges.
5. Creating secret hideaways
Old books can serve as hiding place by cutting out the inside pages.
An incorrect socket or light switch plate can be a mini hiding place for small valuables.
