Empty shampoo bottles seem like useless junk until you discover the cleaning magic they can do.
Instead of buying dozens of cleaning product containers, you can turn old containers into multi-functional tools that will make your life easier.
And it's not just about storage - these bottles can do things you wouldn't even imagine.
For example, a cut-off bottle top with a handle would make an ideal scoop for bulk products or cat litter.
And if you make holes in the lid, you will get a dispenser for watering indoor plants - the stream will be thin and even.
But the main hack is to use a bottle for deep cleaning of tight spots.
Pour hot water and soda into it, put a thin nozzle on the neck and, under pressure, treat the cracks between tiles, furniture joints or ventilation grilles.
The dirt will come out instantly, and you will save on expensive sprays.
Another idea: make a mini brush out of a bottle for hard to reach places.
Cut off the bottom, glue an old toothbrush to the neck, and you have a tool for cleaning drain holes or radiator grilles.
And if you fill a bottle with vinegar and put an iron sponge in it, in a day you will have a homemade brush for removing limescale.
Eco-friendly, cheap and effective!
