6 Everyday Items Many Of Us Misuse

We rarely read manuals on how to get the best out of things we use every day.


Listed below are 6 hidden features of everyday items you probably didn’t know its use.

1. Holes At The Side Of Your Converse Sneakers

They’re there for ventilation. Most people assume they are extra loopholes for a tighter fit using shoelaces.

2. Extra Fabric Samples With Buttons On Clothes

They are sample materials to help you test different detergents to know which one works best for that material. You don’t want to use a detergent that will fade the colours of your clothes.

3. Hole On The Tip Of A Measuring Tape

It’s to help you secure the tape to a nail or screw for accurate measurement.

4. Zigzag On Bobby Pin

I’ve personally used this the wrong way. The zigzag side of the bobby pin is the bottom which helps hold the hair in place.

5. Holes On Rulers

For ease of hanging.

6. Blue Side Of An Eraser

It’s for cleaning stronger and thicker papers.
