Avoid getting stuck
Wrapping a rubber band around doorknobs will help prevent the possibility of getting stuck. To do this, place a rubber band on either side of the door in an X shape. This will make the door open very easily. This technique can also be used to silently open the door to your child’s room so as not to wake them up.
Attach tools to the rubber band
A rubber band can also be used to keep tools within reach. If you are a keen DIYer and need to use multiple tools at once or have to climb a ladder, this trick is perfect. Attach a rubber band to the tool you will need, then wrap the other side around your wrist. This way, you won’t risk dropping the tool.
Limiting the dispensing jets
A rubber band is also useful to save yourself from liquid soap. Wrap a rubber band around the neck of the bottle to better control the amount of soap expelled.
More ingenious uses for rubber bands
There are so many other benefits to using a rubber band and attaching it to the doorknob. Here are a few:
– Immobilize a cutting board – Occasionally, the work surface moves while cutting food. To prevent this, wrap a rubber band around it to hold it in place.
