52 tiny annoying problems, solved! (Because when you can't control the big stuff, start small)
Stuffed-up sievesAlways use a dishwasher. If one isn't available, soak in the sink first, to loosen particles, then take a dish brush or nail brush to it. Rinse under a fast hot MacKenzie, TV presenter and author Coffee that clogsCoffee brewed with a French press leaves behind a slurry of grounds and water, and usually too much liquid for the kitchen bin. But coffee grounds can clog up plumbing and create major problems, which I learned the hard way. I now place a single paper towel over the sink waste and filter the grounds until they are dry enough for the Wilks, Fairbanks, Alaska Dodgy dishwashersIf your dishwasher is not working well, it could be down to a simple blockage: something small enough to pass through the filter, but large enough to clog the spray arm holes from the inside. In my experience it's either lemon pips or pine nuts. The two spray arms (some posh dishwashers have three) are easy to remove; shake over the sink, the pine nuts will dislodge and your dishwasher will clean like new again. Tim Dowling, Saturday columnist Too much TupperwareEveryone has way too many plastic storage containers, and half don't have a lid, are stained or bubbled. Scale it back. Unfortunately, Tupperware isn't accepted by local household recycling services but you can try TerraCycle, donate to charity or repurpose, such as into tubs for planting seeds. If you still have quite a few, use a CD rack for the Macdonald, professional organiser, Norwich Glasses half-full or emptyI get annoyed with half-full glasses of water around the house, especially as we're on a meter. I make myself feel better by pouring them into a little watering can, for when I need to do the plants. Also, keep a bottle of water in the fridge so you don't have to run the mixer tap to get cold water after using Osborne, Guardian money & consumer editor Wobbly tablesI find it annoying when tables wobble. Despite all of our modern technology, we have not fixed this. My solution is to carry with me a small wooden Haji-Michael, Austria Manky clothsI hate wiping up crumbs with a damp cloth – that is gross. So I have a small dustpan and brush used only for the kitchen side and tables. I can't live without it. I even run it through the dishwasher to freshen it Cozens, Essex Preserving paintbrushesTo get the paint out of the paintbrush ferrule (where the bristles are fixed, and buildup ruins the brush), I use a cat comb. Brushes last longer and stay Howard, Aix-en-Provence, France The wonder tapeI have recently discovered the novelty of double-sided nano tape. It has lots of uses, including tacking random things to the wall, from pictures and shower gel to a bread knife or small scissors. It can stop mats slipping. It could hold things down on boats, perhaps. I like thinking of ways to use it Wilson, Norwich Sticky label marksStubborn stickers? Warm with a hairdryer for a few seconds to soften the glue, then peel off Glenn, Warwickshire Lazy curtainsIf you have those corded curtain tracks, you'll find they become sluggish over time – because you haven't lubricated them since they were installed. Never use WD-40. Just take an old clean rag, liberally saturate with cheap furniture polish, then wipe the track with it, leave to dry – and you'll find they Holding, London Kids' tat gone wildKids attract endlessly annoying knick-knacks, so I've bought two clear over-door hangers for my daughter, which are meant for shoes, and put them inside her wardrobe door so they don't make her room look messy. Also good is to have a box for each person in the house, kept in their bedroom, and when they leave random bits lying around, put them in there. Abi M Recycling runneth overIt is possible to fold most empty soft plastic packaging into a triangle shape with little effort. This saves space and prevents any remnants leaking out. I do it all the time – if I'm out, it means I can take my rubbish home without making a mess in my bag/ Williams, Berlin You v onionsPutting a teaspoon in your mouth seems to help with onion tears. But best of all is wearing contact lenses – not possible for everyone but a bonus if you use them. Georgina Hayden, Feast columnist Half-edible asparagusI used to get frustrated with asparagus – one end takes longer to cook than the other. Perfectly cooked tips result in raw stalks; tender stalks yield mushy tips. The solution was both lazy and stupidly obvious: I leave on the rubber band the spears come bundled with, so they can stand upright, shoulder deep, in the simmering water for a few minutes; long enough to cook the stalks. Then I reach in with scissors and snip the band, so they fall over and the tips cook. If your asparagus doesn't come with a rubber band – or if you want to avoid microplastics – tie with butcher's string to get the same result. After I invented this, it occurred to me that maybe everyone already does this – maybe that's what the rubber band is for. Still, it's changed my life for the better. TD Mango messStand it upright and cut into two cheeks, using the stone as a guide. Then do the hedgehog trick, scoring the flesh in a crisscross section. When you flip it inside out, there are chunks of mango to cut off. GH Unopenable jarsSome people say pierce the lid with a knife but I think that is a recipe for disaster. If you tap the edge of the lid on a hard worktop to release the air pressure, it opens straight away. GH No ice cube tray, no problemFreezing fruit is a way of keeping drinks super cold in the summer and looks pretty. Just put grapes in the freezer, on a baking sheet. When they have frozen, put them in a tub so you don't waste so much space. Or, as a friend's mum used to, freeze slices of lemon and lime for gin and tonics. GH Garlicky fingersI love garlic but the smell on my hands after peeling and chopping it was a big put-off. A transformational life hack was discovering rubbing and washing your hands with stainless steel after cutting garlic almost completely removes the smell. You can even buy a bar of stainless steel that looks like soap and does the Sonam, India Leftover bits and piecesI have a sandwich bag in my fridge of all the odds and ends of cheese; they keep for ages. I would always freeze feta, though, as it doesn't last long. Likewise, keep any last little bits of carrot, onion or other veg in a bag and next time you are making a ragu or soup, chuck them in. If you buy a pot of cream for a recipe and use only a small amount, freeze the rest in an ice cube tray. Do the same with wine. GH Eggshell everywhereI always crack eggs on a worktop or chopping board. Just a tap to break the shell will make sure it doesn't go everywhere. If you do it on the edge of a bowl or pan, you push shards of eggshell into the egg. Likewise if you use a knife you are more likely to get tiny bits of shell in your food. If you do get shell in the egg and try to use your fingers to pick out any fragments, it is absolutely impossible. If you use the rest of the shell, you will get it every time. GH Eggs that are hard to peelI've found that placing the eggs directly into already boiling water, then transferring them immediately to cold water once they are cooked makes peeling much easier. I presume the thermal shock facilitates the separation of egg from shell. I really cannot bear to see people starting the eggs in a pan of cold Magand, Strasbourg Wasted honeyI find it really frustrating when measuring honey for a recipe, because you will always end up leaving honey on the tablespoon, so it's not an accurate measure. But if you brush the spoon with a little bit of oil first, the honey will glide straight off. GH The faff of peeling gingerPeel root ginger with a teaspoon. It's unbeatable for getting into all the nooks and crannies. Anonymous Lost toolsFor some reason, most of the tools available are designed in earthy colours, so the minute you drop your trowel on the ground it becomes impossible to find, especially if you wander away and come back. I have taken to putting a ring of neon tape round the handle, so it is immediately obvious where a tool Ratinon, Saturday gardening columnist Squirrels obsessed with your bulbsThis is deeply annoying. You plant all these bulbs, they cost lots of money, and then the squirrels dig them out. Some people try the cayenne pepper trick – putting it all over the soil after you have planted bulbs – but it is arduous and not very kind to the squirrels. The main way to get rid of them is with chicken wire over the pots. But an easy hack is to get the clear plastic lid of a storage crate and whack it on top with heavy stones. Put that on your pots and squirrels can't get into it but the sunshine Vincent, Saturday gardening columnist Very muddy bootsThe mud these last few winters has been so infuriating that my partner has made a welly puller. It is a plank of wood with a triangle cut out of it that you can put your heel into, mounted on a smaller piece of wood at a 30 degree angle off the ground. You have to use it properly or it gets covered in mud and doesn't save your socks from getting covered, too. Take your first boot off using the toe of the second boot, then use the welly puller to take off that one. If you are not particularly handy with wood and nails, put a trug with a few inches of water in it at the back door. Stand in it and swish the mud off. CR Forgotten things on your to-do listI'm a big fan of the principle of 'universal capture', which is productivity geek speak for always having ready access to somewhere you can scribble something down when you think of it, in a way that you'll then see it later, so as to take action on it if necessary. The unfortunately named Braintoss lets me email a note to myself with two clicks, rather than going through my email app, and as I know I'll check my email, I'm sure to encounter the reminder. Whenever I travel, I carry a plastic pouch that closes with a zip, so I can throw receipts, random papers, bits of currency, etc in there. All of this is really just a way of respecting the fact that the human brain is far too limited to serve as a useful repository for endless task Burkeman, author of Meditations for Mortals InterruptionsOne idea I've found useful for dealing with irritating interruptions when you're trying to concentrate is: be careful not to define more things than necessary as 'interruptions'. If you're the kind of person who tries to schedule your whole day very strictly, you're pretty much asking to feel annoyed when reality collides with your rigid plan. If you have autonomy over your schedule, a better idea is to try to safeguard three or four hours at most for total focus – this is, it turns out, the maximum countless authors, scientists and artists have managed in an uninterrupted fashion anyway. If I'm working at home on a day when it's not my turn for school pickup, and my son bursts in to tell me excitedly about something he's done, it's a shame if I feel annoyed by the intrusion rather than delighted by the serendipitous interaction, solely because I've defined that period as time for deep focus. OB A stranger at the doorI discovered this by accident, but unsolicited door-knockers are eager to conclude their business and go away if you open the door while holding some kind of large electric gardening implement. I just happened to be carrying a hedge trimmer when the bell rang, but a chainsaw would be even better. You could leave it on a hook by the door. TD Random keys in the kitchen drawerYou know that box of old keys you see every day and don't have a clue what they're for? Take time to go through them, trying them out in various places. Soon you will know they are of no use to you. Chuck the lot. I did that a few years ago and all was fine. Aggie M Paperwork mountainsWe have a 'deal with them once' rule. As soon as it comes through the letterbox, any junk gets put straight in the recycling, rather than put away or allowed to clutter up surfaces, because that means you end up dealing with it at least twice, picking it up and moving it around. Instead, open your mail when it comes in, get rid of the envelope straight away, then have a paperwork system, so you've got sections for action required, pending or needs putting away, and teach everyone to follow suit. Abi M Foundation smudgesYou have done your makeup; now you want to put on a pale top without getting a tidemark on the neck. Simple: turn it around, put it over your head back to front, then scooch it round the right way before you put your arms in the sleeves. A tiny bit of foundation at your nape is way less visible than under your Cartner-Morley, Guardian fashion editor Tangly washingTo avoid this, put cords in a tote bag, tie it and wash. For hoodie strings, tie them in a bow around the neck, then put the whole thing in the tote bag to Ferrier, Guardian fashion & lifestyle editor Crumpled clothes on arrivalEver made pinwheel pastries? That's the trick here, but with clothes. Lay tops on top of each other, fold sleeves diagonally across, then – as carefully and tightly as if rolling pastry – roll together, from neck down, so you end up with a swiss roll of fabric. Do the same with trousers or dresses. Place in your case and fill the gaps with PJs, denim shorts, socks, things that don't have crease issues. It takes longer than chucking everything in but works like a charm and saves space. JCM Odd socksI solved this by throwing out all my socks and buying only black ones. They end up not matching anyway because they fade at different rates, have different size bands at the top, etc, but it's better than it could Lucy Cosslett, Guardian columnist Shoes that rubThey felt fine in the changing room but now you've got a blister coming on? With leather shoes, you can fix this with a hairdryer. (Check they are leather: most 'vegan leather' is plastic, which will melt.) Dampen the leather with a wet cloth, then point a hairdryer at the problem area until you feel the leather warm and soften. Put on thick socks and go for a walk. JCM People 'borrowing' your tightsIf more than one person in your house wears tights, they never end up in your possession. The only way round this is by enforcing rigid brand allegiance, so you know if they're from M&S, they're definitely Williams, Guardian columnist Mascara splodgesIf you splodge mascara on your face, don't panic! Wait a minute or two for it to dry, then brush away using a clean spoolie or an eyebrow pencil's brush. It will easily come off without disturbing your Crush, makeup artist, London That last tiny bit of nail polishCut old tights into small pieces and use to remove nail polish. The nylon's slightly abrasive quality makes the polish come off faster than with a cotton Fortunato, New York Crinkled clothingI never iron clothes. I just shake them really well when I take them out of the machine, hang out, then fold neatly. If an item needs ironing, I won't buy it. Abi M Tangled jewelleryIf you want to wear multiple necklaces but avoid tangling, you need a magnetic clasp – attach each necklace to its own connector and voilà.Chloe Mac Donnell, Guardian deputy fashion & lifestyle editor Stinky foam slippersFreeze them, wash on a gentle cycle, then Setili, Georgia, US Bobbles on tightsWrap parcel tape round your hand and go over the garment as you would with a lint roller. Aggie M Frizzy hairSleeping on a satin pillowcase stops you getting so hot: it repels sweat and keeps moisture in your hair. Also, a microfibre towel is gentler on your hair's cuticles. Michelle Druy, hairdresser, Surrey The unavoidable running blistersSooner or later, if you are running you will get a big bastard blister on your heel, and there is no point using anything other than one of those expensive padded blister plasters. Normal plasters won't get you home without pain, or let you run again next Daoust, Guardian Fit for ever columnist HiccupsI have a guaranteed cure. 1 Take a deep breath and pinch your nose. 2 With nose pinched, try to expel air through it, to the point where your ears almost pop. 3 Maintaining the ears-about-to-pop sensation, sip and swallow cool water from a glass or cup. This technique has never let me down. I believe it works by forcing your brain to concentrate on other small motor actions, thereby forgetting about the Daniel, Shanghai Stubbed toesWhen someone has a minor injury, such as stubbing their toe, give them a full minute to themselves so they can enter, then exit, their 'bubble of pain'. This is what we do in our family and I swear it helps get rid of pain much faster. We don't ask, 'What happened?' or, 'Are you OK?' until the injured person speaks first. A hand on their shoulder or a respectful bowing of the head to the Gods of Minor Pain is sufficient at this time.

Prevent Stubborn Water Spots on Your Dishes with These Fast Fixes
If you've ever unloaded your dishwasher only to find cloudy streaks and speckled spots on your supposedly clean glassware, you've suffered from water spots. Water spots are a common nuisance in many households. They dull the shine of glassware, leave film on plates, and make dishes look dirty—even when they're not. Fortunately, you can implement immediate and long-term strategies to eliminate these streaky marks for Schrader is the chief marketing officer at Cottage Care in Colorado. Murray Clark is the owner of Murray Clean in Massachusetts. own MaidThis Cleaning in Utah and are members of the Thumbtack Pro Advisory 6 Things You Should Be Doing to Help Your Dishwasher Clean Better Water spots are mineral deposits left behind when hard water evaporates. Hard water is rich in dissolved minerals, mainly calcium and magnesium. When dishes air-dry, especially in a dishwasher or on a drying rack, the water evaporates, and these minerals remain on the surface, forming those unsightly white or grayish specks. The severity of water spots varies depending on your local water hardness. In areas with especially hard water from the tap, a water filter may help. Older dishwashers that are not optimized for modern detergent and rinse aid formulations can also show streaks and stains. You can take easy actions to prevent or remove water spots. 'The best way to avoid water stains is to dry the dishes immediately after washing,' says Scott Schrader of Cottage Care in Colorado. He says towel drying or using a rinse aid in the dishwasher can keep water from sitting on surfaces long enough to evaporate and deposit minerals. This easy fix limits the amount of time moisture spends on dishware, reducing the opportunity for spotting. Hand-drying dishes right after they've been washed—whether by hand or machine—can make a visible difference. Murray Clark, owner of Murray Clean in Massachusetts, says to try paper towels or microfiber cloths to avoid spots. Microfiber cloths are particularly effective because they're highly absorbent and don't leave lint behind. They also have an electrostatic charge, which helps pull in any lingering dust or debris clinging to the dish surface. Another quick and highly effective fix? Rinse aid. Jen and Brian Boyle, owners of Maid This Cleaning and members of the Thumbtack Pro Advisory Board, explain that 'the rinse aid is released in the final cycle of the drying and allows water to run off the dishes, thus promoting better drying and less chance of water spots.' Many dishwashers come with a compartment for rinse aid, and using it regularly is one of the easiest ways to reduce spotting. Keep things natural with distilled white vinegar. Add a cup of vinegar to the bottom of your dishwasher before running a cycle to break down mineral buildup and leave dishes sparkling clean. For hand-washed dishes, use a diluted vinegar rinse as a final step. The acid in vinegar dissolves mineral deposits and provides a streak-free shine on glassware and plates. For spot treatment or periodic use, vinegar is a chemical-free cautious not to overuse vinegar in the dishwasher, as the acid can degrade certain rubber components, like gaskets and your dishes are still spotting despite using a rinse aid, it might be time to review your dishwasher settings. Selecting a longer drying cycle or a higher-temperature rinse can evaporate water more cleanly. Do not overload your dishwasher. When dishes are crammed tightly together, water cannot circulate effectively, leading to improper rinsing and more chances for water spotting. Ensure dishes have enough space between them and that larger items like pans or trays don't block the path of the spray arms. Don't underestimate the importance of keeping your dishwasher clean. Mineral buildup can clog spray arms, coat heating elements, and reduce the effectiveness of rinse cycles. Once a month, run an empty cycle with a cup of white vinegar or a dishwasher cleaner to flush out hard water deposits and grease. You should also check and clean the filter regularly, as trapped food particles can interfere with water flow and cleanliness. For households with persistently hard water, no amount of rinsing or towel drying can completely eliminate water spots. In these stubborn cases, the most effective solution is to install a water softener. Water softeners remove calcium and magnesium ions from your home's water supply and replace them with sodium or potassium ions. The result is 'soft' water that doesn't leave mineral residue behind. While the upfront expense can be costly, the long-term benefits go beyond dishware—soft water is also gentler on appliances, skin, clothing, and plumbing.

6 essential home appliances to buy: from washing machines to air fryers
Whether you're on the hunt for a new vacuum cleaner or replacing the dishwasher, you're likely to end up poring over online reviews, thumbing through specialist magazines or quizzing your most in-the-know friends and family. And rightly so. Doing your research before making a larger electrical purchase makes total sense — who wants to waste money on things that don't last? Consulting the consumer guide Which? is another go-to. Every year Which? tests more than 3,500 products across 140 categories, stamping 650 of these as its crème de la crème recommendations with a Best Buy or Eco Buy accolade. Now a new category has entered the fray: Just Buy This. This is a single recommendation from the Which? testing team of products that tick all the most important boxes, ie, something that should suit most people most of the time. It's aimed at anyone who doesn't have time to research the products they need to buy (or, hard to believe, just doesn't take any pleasure in reading about different washing machine models) and would rather take an expert's word for it. And there's nothing to stop others from just using the recommendation as a starting point to compare their options. 'Unless you know exactly what you are looking for, researching the best fridge freezer, air fryer or coffee machine can seem like a lot of faff,' says Natalie Hitchins, the head of home products and services at Which?. 'Our Just Buy This recommendation takes the hassle out of finding what you want by putting you in the hands of our experts to narrow it down to one great pick that won't break the bank.' There's one catch: you can only see these recommendations if you are a Which? subscriber. However, Times readers have been given an exclusive sneak peek of six domestic appliances from the Just Buy This list. 1. The washing machine JOSEPH O'BRIEN Bosch Series 4 Which? rating: 79/100 This user-friendly Bosch model makes laundry day feel less like a chore, according to Rebecca Jakeman, Which? senior researcher. 'It may be on the slow side but the washing results — especially on the synthetics cycle — are more than worth waiting for. Unless anyone in your household is an exceptionally messy eater or just can't resist stomping through a muddy puddle, you should find all of the items are spotlessly clean at the end of the cycle. The powerful spin function is great at removing excess water to reduce drying time, too, which is a welcome bonus.' £579, • The best British-made homeware for 2025 2. The fridge freezer LG 60/40 Frost Free Fridge Freezer Which? rating: 76/100 'You might wonder why I wouldn't recommend our top-scoring fridge freezer, but this good all-rounder should suit many people,' says Jakeman, who rates how quietly the South Korean manufacturer's model runs, the accuracy of its thermostat ('it even stays stable in heat') as well as the speed at which food is chilled and frozen. 'It also uses less energy than expected for its size which is handy when we're all feeling the financial squeeze. It's not completely perfect as the veg drawer can dry food out and the fridge is a little hard to clean in places, but these are small gripes and it's still a great Best Buy and Eco Buy choice.' £449 (reduced from £599), 3. The kettle LOGIK L17PKB23 Jug Kettle Which? rating: 78/100 Fran Roberts-Thornton, a senior Which? researcher, picks a pocket-friendly Logik kettle as her Just Buy This option for your kitchen countertop. Though not the quietest of models, it has several positives, says Roberts-Thornton: 'It's quick to boil, has a low minimum fill and is cheaper than many. We tested the black version, but this isn't a Henry Ford situation — it comes in green or blue, too.' £14.99 (reduced from £24.99), • The 9 best kettles for speed, quiet — and good looks 4. The iron Philips 7000 Series Steam Iron Which? rating: 85/100 Ironing is one of Roberts-Thornton's favourite chores so naturally she recommends the highest-scoring steam iron on test, which earns the full five stars for ironing performance, resistance to limescale, cleaning efficiency, soleplate scratch resistance and time to start steaming. 'Three stars for handling, due to a slippery handle — it was the lowest it got in any of our tests. This iron breezes through creases and is durable enough to withstand accidental brushes with zips and buttons,' she adds. £54.99, 5. The air fryer Tower T17102 Vortx Vizion 11 litre Which? rating: 71/100 A dual-zone air fryer that is neither the best nor the cheapest model tested but hits the sweet spot of performance and price, according to Roberts-Thornton. 'As an oven-style model, it comes with two cooking racks, cooking baskets and drip trays. Chicken, chips and baguettes were golden in good time. If you're new to air-frying, ten preset programs make it a doddle to use. Like most dual air fryers, it's bulky and not the most energy efficient, plus it's a bit of a chore to clean.' £110, 6. The coffee pod machine Nescafé Dolce Gusto DeLonghi Piccolo XS Which? rating: 77/100 Pod machines are a smaller and usually cheaper alternative than bean-to-cup machines, which Roberts-Thornton considers best suited to occasional rather than dedicated coffee drinkers as the cost of pods can add up. 'This DeLonghi is a great little model as it's quick, energy efficient and simple to use. Most importantly, it makes tasty espressos and well-balanced cappuccinos.' There are negatives, however: 'You're tied to the Dolce Gusto-compatible range of pods — other brands won't work — but there's plenty of choice, including hot chocolate and tea.' £35 (reduced from £55),
