Lemonade Kool-Aid
Original purpose: Quenching your thirst.
Aha! use: Cleaning lime deposits and iron stains inside the dishwasher. Pour a packet of lemonade Kool-Aid (the only flavor that works) into the detergent cup and run the (empty) dishwasher.
Reward: Citric acid in the mix wipes out stains; you don't have to.

Rubber Bands as Strap Securers
Original purpose: Bundling mail in the postman's bag.
Aha! use: Keeping camisoles and sundresses from slipping off their hangers. For this stop-strap measure, wrap a band (or two if you use skinny ones) around each end of a hanger.
Reward: Garments that stay put instead of sliding to the floor.
Get Organized Using Everyday Items
Tall Vase as Toilet Paper Container
Original purpose: Showing off all those long-stemmed roses from gentleman callers.
Aha! use: Helping toilet paper hide in plain sight.
Reward: Guests don't have to root around for a new roll in your not absolutely, positively tidy vanity, and you always know when you're running low
