Change the way you cook and clean with these 6 handy hacks!

We all love finding new ways to make our lives easier, don't we? Especially when those ways can help us save time, energy, and money. After all, we all know how frustrating it can be when we're trying to get something done around the house, and it just seems like nothing is going our way.
That's why we're excited to share these 6 life-changing hacks with all our wonderful members today!
Some days, no matter how hard we try, there always seems to be another mess or disaster waiting for us just around the corner.
But one crafty woman from Melbourne seems to have everything figured out! Jackie Hagart, who runs the popular social media account ‘My Friend Jackie’s House’ on TikTok, has shared seven ‘hacks’ to make our home lives trouble-free.
The first hack she shared was to use the hole in a slotted spoon to measure pasta.
‘The hole in a slotted spoon is exactly one serving of spaghetti,’ she said. We didn’t know that!
Jackie’s second tip was to pour old packing beans into the sink and soak them in water. She shared that these are made from corn starch, so they’re safe for the environment, and are easily dissolvable.
Next, she explained that most toilets have a release button, so the lid and seat can be removed for ‘easy cleaning’.
For her fourth tip, Jackie said to look at the coloured tag on a loaf of bread to check which day it was made. If the tag is red, for example, it means that the bread was made on a Saturday.

Her next tip revolved around ceiling fans (heh, pardon the pun!). She said that ceiling fans have a ‘Summer’ and ‘Winter’ setting, which changes the direction of their airflow.
Experts explained that the 'Summer' setting will turn the blade anti-clockwise which will direct the breeze downwards, and the 'Winter' setting will rotate the fan clockwise. This pulls the air up toward the roof.

Lastly, Jackie revealed that iPhones have a built-in measuring app, which allows its users to measure the distances and dimensions of objects. Who knew?!
However, this feature is only available on the following devices:
Her followers took to the comments section to thank her for her ‘hacks’.
‘Absolutely mind-blown!’ Said one woman.
Someone else commented: ‘Packing beans, just wow…Can’t wait for my next delivery of something.’
While another said that the measuring app ‘changed’ their life.
