Hack Your Life

STRESS LESS

Banish the sinking feeling you’ve left the hair straightener on at home with new Smart Power plugs. Check that it’s off—or actually turn it off—from your smartphone or tablet. To find out more about setting up, go to telstra.com.au/smart-home

CLEAN START

Eliminate grease stains by rubbing with white chalk prior to washing. A mixture of lemon juice and water pre-wash banishes sweat stains while a mixture of white vinegar and water makes grass stains vanish. Treat foundation stains with shaving cream.

SELL WELL

Selling something online and want the photo to rock like it was taken by a professional? Try placing it in a clean white bathtub, which makes for the perfect seamless background.

CLEAN IT

Post-its are for more than notes. Run the sticky side between the rows on a keyboard to grab dust and stray lunch crumbs.

EASY HOME DELIVERY

Waiting for a special delivery but can’t be at home during that annoying three-hour window? Telstra Smart Home’s Outdoor HD Cameras and Lockwood Smart Door Locks let you see who’s at the door when you’re not there (internet connection required) and allow you to remotely let them in.
