Thing to do before bed: hang a hanger on the door handle!

2. Water bottle method as home alarm

If you don’t have a hanger or are looking for a simple alternative, you can use a water bottle as an improvised alarm.

• Material needed: A plastic water bottle.
• Procedure:
  1. Place an empty or half-full water bottle on the doorknob.
  2. If someone tries to open the door from the outside, the movement will cause the bottle to fall to the ground and cause a loud noise.
  3. This noise will serve as a warning sign to put you on alert.

This method is inexpensive, easy to implement, and effective at alerting you to any intrusion attempts.

3. Hangers as drying tools for shoes and pillows

The hangers can also be ingeniously used to dry shoes and pillows efficiently.

• For shoes:
  • Fold a hanger into an inverted triangle shape.
  • Place the shoes on the ends of the hanger.
  • As they are suspended, the shoes will dry faster and prevent the accumulation of bad odors.
• For pillows:
  • Use two hangers and tie them together at the ends.
  • Place the pillow on the hangers.
  • This will allow the pillow to dry evenly and quickly.
