Usually you would be using your tennis balls to play some tennis, or maybe throw for your dog to play catch out at the park. But toady you're going to learn of one of the awesome real life hacks that involves using a tennis ball for cleaning purposes. If you do play tennis a lot, then that's perfect, since you'll have a good collection of them in your house already.

You can roll around on them for a while and it can be quite therapeutic.

This list from the Mark Taylor's website features a total of 10 alternative uses for these balls which you can put to use in your own home. For one, you can take an old tennis ball and cut it open to insert a broom stick. Just cut the ball open enough so you can fit the end of the broom into it. Then, you can use it to scrub off any scuff marks that are on your hardwood floors. It should be really good for those scuff marks caused by the soles of shoes and even for some light furniture scuffs. You can also take an old tennis ball and use it as a marker in your garage to show you when you're close to running into something in your garage space. Simply take your tennis ball and attach it to a piece of string, then, hang the string from the ceiling in at the point where it will touch your windshield when you dive in. When the ball touches your window, you know you're in the perfect parking spot in your garage. There are also some cleaning tips involving tennis balls, including using them as dryer balls. They may even speed up the drying process by fluffing up heavier things like a blanket or a duvet.
