3. Stripped screw → rubber band between screwdriver and head
4. Small drywall hole → toothpaste fills; paint over
5. Slow drain → baking soda + vinegar + hot water
6. Wet-stain on wood → mayonnaise or toothpaste, rub gently
7. Stuck window → candle wax on the rails
8. Scuff on wall → magic eraser
9. Stuck zipper → rub graphite from a pencil
10. Smelly garbage disposal → grind lemon peels + ice
