5 Affordable & Easy Home Hacks
As we’re near getting closer to September (and the weather’s taken a massive turn in that direction too soon), we’re thinking about all of you preparing to move into your new homes. So here are a few hacks to make your home feel like ‘home’:
Spruce up your desk tops

Okay we aren’t all master chefs, and after a while our pans start looking a bit worse for wear as more burnt food accumulates.
Don’t throw out the pan! With a quick fix it will be as good as new.
You will need white vinegar and some baking powder.
First, fill the pan with water and then add a cup of white vinegar. Gas hob on, and bring the vinegar to a boil. Take the pan off the stove and then add 2 tablespoons of baking soda.
Let it sit for a few seconds so the liquid can cool down and then simply wipe away the mixture.
No decent bluetooth speaker?
No worries we have you covered. There are a number of quick hacks to share music with your friends. First is to go for the classic phone in empty cup trick. Volume amplified.

Sort out your bills with HURU
Sometimes in small households people decide to take one bill each, but that always ends in one person paying more/less than others. Others might choose to open a joint bank account, but chasing a housemate for bills becomes passive and honestly just effort.
Don’t waste your time, and save your money by getting HURU to sort out your bills instead.
