8. Clean jeans. Freezing jeans makes your favorite pants feel crisp and new again. To do this, fold the jeans and place them inside a Ziploc bag. Seal and place the bag in the freezer. Keep the jeans frozen for a full week. They’ll feel good as new.

9. Clean a shower head. Fill a Ziploc bag with white vinegar and put the shower head inside the bag. Close the bag with a rubber band and let it sit overnight. The next day, the shower head will be unclogged and free of lime deposits.

10. Organize cords. Sort your cords, wires, and other electronics by placing them in labeled plastic bags. It may seem like a lot of work at the beginning, but you’ll be much happier knowing exactly what fits where.

11. Sort medications. If you take several medications, you know how difficult it can be to make sure you take the right meds at the right time. Sort your medications using small plastic bags when going on vacation. However, you may benefit from adopting this method in your daily life. If you are a caretaker, you may want to go the extra step of labeling the baggies with the time, date, medication name, and dosage.
