Everyday Hacks began in 2015 as a personal blog by Sarah Chen, a minimalist enthusiast and environmental advocate who was searching for simpler, more sustainable ways to manage her household. Frustrated by expensive commercial products that often underperformed and created environmental waste, she began experimenting with traditional methods learned from her grandmother and adapting them to modern contexts.
What started as personal documentation quickly gained attention when Sarah's natural cleaning solution post went viral, generating over 500,000 views in a single week. The overwhelming response revealed a widespread hunger for practical, economical, and environmentally conscious household solutions that actually worked. Readers began contributing their own tested methods, and a community naturally formed around the shared values of simplicity, effectiveness, and sustainability.
By 2018, Everyday Hacks had grown from a solo project to a team of twelve dedicated researchers, testers, and content creators with diverse backgrounds in chemistry, environmental science, culinary arts, and traditional crafts. The team established a rigorous testing methodology to ensure that every recommended hack met strict criteria for effectiveness, accessibility, affordability, and environmental impact.
Today, our community includes over 2 million monthly visitors from 142 countries, all sharing the common goal of simplifying daily life through intelligent solutions rather than unnecessary consumption. We remain committed to our founding principles: solutions should be accessible to everyone regardless of budget, environmentally responsible, and genuinely effective at improving everyday life.
