    1. Cut a hole out of a sponge if your soap is leaving scum on your tiles.

    You'll also be able to use up the leftover nub so that no soap goes to waste! Cut a large sponge in half and round out the edges. Trace the shape of the bar of soap on the top of the sponge and cut it out. When the soap is down to its last unusable nub, let it suds up the sponge and use the sponge as a loofah. Learn more here.

    2. Rub wax paper all over your curtain rod if the curtain rings keep screeching.

    The wax will help the curtain glide more smoothly. You can also try this trick out on the metal rod in your closet if its hard to flick through your clothes. Learn more here.

    3. Hang a spice rack to hold onto your nail polish collection to feel like you have your own nail salon at home.

    4. Add a few drops of essential oils to the inside of your toilet paper roll if your bathroom is a bit more, ahem, odorous than you'd prefer.

    To make the skirt, cut the fabric into three panels and use fabric glue to add hems and pleats. Stick the velcro along the end of the sink and the edge of each panel to hang. Hide your plunger and cleaning supplies behind the curtain if you want them nearby, but don't want ruining the hotel spa vibe you were going for. Learn more here.

    17. Decant your shower products into labeled matching bottles, if you're sick of looking at all the clutter.

    18. Hang everyone's initials over their hooks if someone keeps taking your towel.

    19. Rub coconut oil on your faucet and handles to polish them and prevent water stains.

    Let the oil sit for a minute and then buff it off with a microfiber towel. Coconut oil is also great for scrubbing away shower scum, but be careful to not overdo it — you don't want too much oil dripping down the drain as it can accumulate and solidify, forming a blockage. Learn more here.

    20. Hang a curved curtain rod if your shower is a bit cramped.
