1) QUICK DUSTING:
Use your hairdryer to “dust” lampshades and curtains.
2) CLOSETS:
Add hooks on the backs of closet and maybe even bedroom doors to hang up various items. For example, the one on the back of your bedroom door could hold your robe, either just overnight or all the time. You can hang scarves, handbags, and of course clothes, on the other hooks in closets. Or maybe an outfit you wear for certain occasions, such as gardening, cleaning house, or loungewear.
3) TILE FLOORS:
Use toothpaste to remove black scuffs.
4) DISPOSAL:
Run used coffee grounds through the disposal to eliminate odors.
5) COOKING:
Use time while waiting for the water to boil or something to cook a while before it needs stirring or other attention, to clean up—load the dishwasher, wipe counters, empty the trash, scrub the sink, straighten out items in a drawer, etc.
6) SHOWER AND TUB:
Use a squeegee to wipe down the glass and tile after every use. Train the rest of the family to do the same. Only takes a minute. Get one you can hang with a short handle, and have a dedicated hook for it.
7) REMOVE ONION, GARIC, FISH ODERS FROM YOUR HANDS:
If you have a stainless-steel sink, rub your hands over it when finished chopping onions or garlic, or handling fish. If you do not have a stainless-steel sink, there are “stainless steel chef soaps.” To use, handle it just as you would a regular bar of soap to wash your hands. Available at Amazon, of course.
