If you apply a small amount of nail polish to any tears on window screens, it will seal the damaged area within a couple of minutes.

5. Hide nail holes with crayons

Those nail holes hurt your eyes when you take the decorations off. If you don't want to laboriously repaint the holes, you can use a matching crayon to make them disappear. Rub the crayon over the hole as if you were coloring it. As the crayon fills the holes, the wall will become smooth again.

6. Fix squeaky doors with cooking spray

You can eliminate the squeaking noise caused by an aging door by spraying a little cooking spray on the hinge. You will no longer hear squeaks when the door is used again.
