What handy little item do you always keep at home and wouldn’t be without ?

One of mine is Vanish bar of stain removing soap, it’s magic, and really does make stains disappear

sad I know...:D ..but I have very high, hard to reach places in my house, and using the telescopic duster gets everything cleaned in minutes rather than having to get dusters and stepladders...
 

I also have and use my gripper for many things.
Use a pair of long handle tongs for reaching things as well.
Have a gadget for releasing the tops of vacuumed jars, and
another for opening bottles. Anything to make life easier!
 
Another thing I find really useful in the house is this magnifying lamp...it's superb, particularly when trying to read the use by date on a little blister foil pill pack!!

I bought it for hubs several years ago, as a Christmas gift when he was working on a project that needed precise work... and now I pop into his home office and use it every time I can't read some tiny print...

.

I have a round rubber gripper thingy that was handed out for free at credit union meeting that is very handy to open jar lids.
 
I like sard wonder soap for stubborn stains
I use vanish powder in the wash when washing whites like sheets and pillow cases and tea towels

Really? I’ve never tried this but the other day I read about this. Yesterday in fact. I’m getting some today.

I bought one of these to do intricate bead work and soldering tiny things. Then I found many uses for it including reading stuff I can’t see and taking off split ends. :lol: I love mine also.

A rolling metal kick stool for climbing and sitting to clean, change lightbulbs, etc...

I've even tossed a large napkin over it and used it as a tea table!

These things are great. I also purchased a great stepping ladder last year that’s been awesome. I use it for so many things .
It doesn’t look as nice with a large napkin tossed over it though. :eek:nthego:
 
I have a couple of the reacher things, like Pappy pictured. One in the living room, and one in the bedroom. I also have one of those gripper things that helps hoep jars and bottles. The thing for helping me put on socks as well. Only thing I still need to get is a good stepstool. I want one with a handle I can hold on to when I step up onto it, due to my issues with balance.
 

I really enjoy my gripper it is really helpful. I also enjoy how easy some things make doing things much easier. I love my back scrubber and

And the most helpful item I have now that my Husband has retired is his advice on how to do things that I have been doing wrong for over 50yrs of marriage,like loading the dishwasher,washing clothes and even the color that our bath towels should be. I really appreciate his orders I mean advice.

An old tuna can..with the rim removed so the sharp edge is exposed...

Holes punched in it..

Makes the best chopper you could have when it comes to cabbage for slaw.

Yea I have an electric chopper..... but that can just does it for me.
