My house always has some sort of problem to deal with (and pay for). There’s usually a scratched piece of furniture, a little hidden dust, an always-damp bath mat, or some other little issue. I mean, who’s even heard of a house without a few things that constantly need to be fixed or tweaked? And some home mishaps can be pretty pricey. But you can actually fix these 40 expensive problems around your house for surprisingly cheap.
This list will help us all out, and first, we need to work on those scratched-up tables. There’s a marker and wax stick kit on the list for a unique but permanent fix. But we all know nicks and scuffs don’t only happen to wood tables. They’re usually all over the house. Think about baseboards, doorway trim, even wood floors, and your pantry door. This budget-friendly touch-up kit is perfect for those spots too.
Also, on the list, you’ll find a dusting set because that hidden dust on our ceiling fans isn’t helping anyone’s allergies. We could all also benefit from the waterproof bamboo bath mat because there’s definitely mold and mildew living in our bath mats. So, let’s all just get an affordable but air-flow-friendly mat and stop thinking about it.
