You can’t survive in the spring and summer without being able to keep your windows open. So, there had to be a hack that showed you how to make cleaning your window screens simpler.

Remove Hard Water Stains
Depending on where you live you’ll notice that the hardness of the water can affect more than just your shower or bathtub. From your hair to your clothes – hard water can be quite a pain. Another thing that is affected by hard water can be your toilet. I know, talking about the toilet isn’t pleasant. The truth is, even if you are cleaning your toilet in a traditional way you can still get these hideous hard water stains, especially if your toilet isn’t used that often. By using a pumice stone (they sell them with handles too) you can scrub the hard water stains away. Don’t worry, your toilet won’t be scratched in the process, but it will be sparkling clean!
