Practically every household in America has at least one hair dryer somewhere inside of it, especially if a female or person with longer hair lives in the home. The powerful gadgets are a beauty tool staple that make drying and styling hair a lot easier and quicker to do, but that’s not all they’re good for.
Household Hacker, one of the most inventive and ingenious YouTube channels out there, compiled a few of the most useful hair dryer hacks known to man in this video. These eight hacks are truly helpful so be sure to check them out because somewhere down the line at least one of them is guaranteed to come in handy! Without further ado, here is a breakdown of everything you need to know that’s covered in the video.
A common problem around the house are those ugly marks and stain rings that get left behind on furniture by hot or cold glasses. The unsightly stains are caused by moisture trapped in the finish and they can easily be removed by blowing hot air on the spot for a few minutes.
When you need to blow up an air mattress don’t waste your time and energy doing it by mouth or with a vacuum cleaner which likely requires specific attachments (that you’ve likely lost). Grab a plastic bottle, cut it in half, and attach it onto the end of the blow dryer with duct tape. Stick it snugly against the air hole and turn it on the coolest setting, the mattress will inflate quickly and effortlessly.
One of life’s slightly more painful experiences is when it comes time to remove band-aids or any other type of adhesives from our skin. It can feel like you’re ripping your hair and skin off and often a dirty, sticky residue gets left behind. To eliminate the pain and the mess, set a hair dryer to warm and aim it directly at the band-aid for a few minutes. Now when you go to remove, it should peel right off nice and easily.
If you ever need to open a sealed envelope without tearing or ripping it apart, simply blow warm air on the sticky part where it’s closed shut. After a few moments, slowly and gently begin peel up along the edges of the flap until it’s completely open. Now you can add or remove whatever you may need to, and re-seal it, without wasting a perfectly good envelope or package mailer.
Spilling hot, liquid candle wax can be a nightmare, especially if it lands right on a nice rug or the carpet. Cleaning up the hardened mess is near impossible to accomplish, unless you use this trick. Place a couple of paper towels over the wax and blow hot air directly on the spot for a couple of minutes. The paper towels will pick up and absorb the re-melted wax, and you may need to gently press on them to help get it all off.
De-wrinkle clothing without putting it in the dryer or ironing by misting on a little bit of water or Febreze spray. Use hot air to blow out the wrinkles and smooth them out as you go. After about just a minute or two your clothes will be smooth and presentable.
If you ever run into the issue of your glasses not fitting comfortably on your head anymore, use a blow dryer to fix them and get the fit back to being just right. Find out what part of the plastic needs tweaking and blow hot air on it until you’re able to re-mold it into a shape that fits.

THIS Guy Saved His Pennies For 45 Yrs. He Finally Cashes Them In and The Amount Is Unthinkable!
image via – youtube.com
If you see a penny on the ground, do you ever bother to stop and pick it up? Most people never do, they just walk right by and continue on their way. The one cent value is not worth bending over for. Sometimes people may pick up a penny here or a penny there if they think it’s a “lucky” one, but they don’t stop for every stray coin they see. One man, Otha Anders, is one of the rare exceptions in this regard because he’s picked up every penny that he has ever come across for the last 45 years!
When the 77 year old man from Louisiana was asked what motivated him, he said that finding a penny on the ground was akin to a sign from God, reminding him that he should always be thankful. He added that while he strived to pray every day, sometimes he failed to do so and on the days that he would forget, he would often come across a lost penny. After he noticed the connection, Anders always made time to pray and be thankful.
Over the years Anders took his penny saving ways to even greater extremes. He worked at a school and when the children heard he saved pennies they started bringing him ones they had saved or found. He never just took the kids money, however, and instead he’d pay for them in cash and other coin denominations. He would also exchange nickels for pennies with a friend who was saving nickels the same way that he was saving pennies. In addition, he’d never pay for anything with exact change, instead he’d only use nickels, dimes, and quarters. Â
All that penny picking and praying certainly added up and when Anders finally decided to cash in, he had a whole lot of change on his hands. In fact, it took fifteen five-gallon plastic water jugs to contain the half a million pennies he’d collected in the past forty-five years. Since they weighed about 2,800 pounds, he needed a dolly to transport them all and when he walked into Ruston Origin Bank, in Ruston Louisiana, it was quite a scene. People had never seen so many pennies before!Â
The bank broke out all the automatic coin counting machines they had on hand and yet it still took staffers over 5 hours to count it all. When they were finally done, the grand total came out to $5,136! That’s a nice chunk of money and it goes to show just how lucrative pinching pennies can be. Â
Now that he has some extra pocket money Anders plans on putting it towards some upcoming dental work he needs to have done. And if you’re wondering what prompted him to finally cash in after 45 years of saving, it turns out that his homeowner’s insurance would not cover the pennies should they ever get stolen or destroyed in a fire. Something tells me that it would take a lot of hard work, muscle, and time to steal half a million pennies!
Check out the video for more on this story and to hear about some of the other people who have collected change just like Anders did.

At First It Was Odd When He Wrapped Duct Tape Around a Jar Lid But The Reason Is Unexpectedly GENIUS!
image via – youtube.com
It happens to everyone. There comes a time in life when you just cannot seem to open a jar. No matter how hard you try, it just won’t budge. The lid may be stuck or twisted on too tight, and so your hands just slip hopelessly and ineffectively around the top. While the experience isn’t really that jarring, it’s a real pain to have to deal with, especially when you really need that specific jar opened for a recipe or snack.
There are several different ways to get around a stuck lid. Some people bang on one end of the jar or slam it down on a counter top to try and loosen it. Another approach is to run the top under hot water for a short while. Many others, myself included, stick a butter knife under the lid edge to pry it open and break the vacuum seal.
Then there are those who use something, such as duct tape, to really grip the lid good with and that’s the method we are focused on here. This video shows you how to use a small strip of duct tape to quickly and easily open a stuck jar, without hurting yourself!
Simply tear off about a foot long strip of duct tape and place it on the lid so that it wraps around and covers the side of it. Press it firmly into place and then fold the first few inches or so down on the top of the lid. Take the remaining portion of tape and fold it in half, this will make it sturdier for the next step.
Hold the jar securely with one hand while simultaneously pulling the folded duct tape with the other hand. At this point, the lid should loosen and open up. Some jars may be very, very stuck and so your tape may break. If this happens just double the amount of tape you’re using, or triple it in the rare occasion that it becomes necessary.
Watch the video to see exactly how it is done and the next time you run into a stuck jar, break out the duct tape!

The 2 Incredible Benefits of Burning and Vaporizing Bay Leaves In Your House!
image via – youtube.com
Bay leaves are a common staple in many people’s spice collections. The dried green leaves are most commonly used in cooking and many people drop a leaf or two in the pot to simmer along with their food. The heat releases the flavor and adds to the dish, but there are other ways to harness the power and benefits of bay leaves.
One such way is by burning the aromatic herb in order to release the active compounds that are found within the leaves. These properties can help to fight against bacterial infections, detoxify our bodies, improve cardiac and respiratory health, and even slow down the effects of aging. Here’s more on what burning a bay leaf can do for you!
Ease Tension, Anxiety, and Fatigue to Help You Relax- Bay leaves contain compounds such as cineol, pinene, and elemicin that when burned produce a relaxing and energizing effect. These chemicals get released into the air and can be breathed in for the stimulating effects which have been described by many as feeling slightly psychedelic in nature. Here’s how to do it:
Take a dried bay leaf and light one end of it on fire over a metal tray, glass dish, or any other type of fire-proof container. Once it’s lit gently blow out any flames so that it smolders and place it safely on the container. The air will soon fill with smoke, don’t breathe this directly. Rather, aim to breathe in the vapors it produces indirectly, as if it were incense.
Once the leaf has burned itself out and the smoke clears you should be able to feel the calming effects. You will be more relaxed and at ease and your mind will be clearer. At the same time, you will feel more awake and less drowsy, so if you ever feel stressed try burning a bay leaf!
Helps to Clear Respiratory System- Bay leaves are a natural remedy that can help treat clogged, backed up respiratory passages and lungs. It acts naturally to help break up and remove the nasty mucus and phlegm that’s causing all the problems.
Instead of burning the leaves, soak fresh ones in clean water or pick up a small vial of bay leaf oil and use it in a humidifier to create a steamy vapor which you then breathe in. You can also simply boil the treated water on the stove top or rub the oil on your chest area to alleviate respiratory problems, allergies, and asthma.
Helps to Improve Cardiovascular Health- Bay leaves are rich in a caffeic acid which is a natural organic compound that helps strengthen and support the heart’s capillary walls. In addition, caffeic acid also works to eliminate low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL), which is the bad type that no one wants in their cardiovascular system.
Rather than burning or inhaling treated steam, add the bay leaves to your cooking and you’ll take in all the heart healthy benefits by simply eating the delicious food you make!
