The way you maintain your tools will determine how they will serve you in the future, and if you want to make sure that they don’t rust, we strongly advise you keep them in a plastic container filled with rice. The rice will absorb moisture which will prevent your tools from rusting, keeping them in excellent condition over time.
If your tools have already rusted and you want to restore them to their previous condition, just fill a glass that is the size of the tool with coke. Let the tools sit in it for 24 hours. After a day you can pull the tools out of the glass and see how new they look!
The only annoying thing about washing dishes is not having a place to put your sponge when it's done. To solve this problem, prepare a sponge dish using a liquid soap, shampoo, or conditioner bottle: Cut the bottom of the bottle and remove it, then cut two straight lines down the bottle. Cut from one line around the bottle to the next so that one strip of plastic is left. Cut a circle at the bottom of the strip, and now you can place it on your kitchen faucet where the wet sponge will drain directly into the sink.
In this brilliant trick, you can use any kind of remote control, whether it's the TV remote or the air conditioner remote. All you have to do is leave one working battery in, and the other you can replace with a metal clip. This temporary solution can make your life much easier until you get the chance to buy new batteries.
