20 Times People Leveled Up Basic Things Into Real Gems

A simple mop was upgraded by Thomas W. Stewart into a clamping device that could wring water out of it by using a lever to make people’s lives easier. Nowadays, it’s an essential item for nearly every home. You never know how far your improvements can go, and maybe they can be useful in the future somehow.

We at Bright Side always get inspired by creative people and are sharing 20 things that they could improve based on trivial stuff.
