Wacky Wednesday- Household products
Today I thought I’d take us on a tour around the house!
What can we find that we can use in a different way? It’s all about preserving the environment, let’s do our part!
Bathroom:
Alberto V05- Protect your dog or cat’s paw pads. Rub in a little Alberto VO5 Conditioning Hairdressing before sending your pet outdoors
Clairol Herbal Essences- Wash dishes. If you run out of dishwashing soap, wash your dishes in the kitchen sink with Herbal Essences. It’s perfect for camping since it is biodegradable.
Colgate Toothpaste- Remove crayon from walls. Brush the marks with Colgate on an old toothbrush.
Conair Pro Style 1600- Remove a bumper sticker. Blow it with a Conair Pro Style 1600 set on hot for a few minutes until the adhesive softens, then peel the bumper sticker off.
Nursery:
Baby Magic Baby Powder- Repel ants. Sprinkle Baby Magic Baby Powder in cracks, along a window sill, or under doors where ants enter. Ants will not walk through baby powder.
Huggies Baby wipes- Blot up spilled coffee from a rug or carpet. Huggies Baby Wipes absorb coffee without leaving a stain.
Laundry Room:
Bounce- Repel mosquitoes. Tie a sheet of Bounce through a belt loop when outdoors during mosquito season.
Clorox Bleach- Extend the life of freshly cut flowers. Add one-quarter teaspoon (twenty drops) of Clorox bleach to each quart of water used in your vase.
Downy Fabric Softener- Eliminate static shock on carpets. Mix one capful of Downy Fabric Softener into a spray bottle filled with water, and spray the carpets.
Kitchen:
Wish bone Thousand Island Dressing- Remove white rings and spots from wood furniture. Wipe on Wishbone Thousand Island Dressing, let stand for an hour, and wipe off.
Wesson Corn Oil- Prevent cat hairballs. Add a teaspoon of Wesson Corn Oil to one cat meal daily.
Real Lemon- Eliminate blackheads. Rub ReaLemon over blackheads before going to bed. Wait until morning to wash off the juice with cool water. Repeat for several nights until you see a big improvement in the skin.
McCormick Food Coloring- Make fried chicken golden brown. Add a few drops of yellow McCormick Food Coloring to vegetable oil before frying. The chicken will absorb the food coloring and become a golden brown.
Jif Peanut Butter- Shave. Former senator Barry Goldwater of Arizona once shaved with peanut butter while on a camping trip. (For best results, avoid shaving with Jif Extra Crunchy.)
Liquor Cabinet-
Smirnoff Vodka- Clean lipstick from clothing. Rub the stain with Smirnoff Vodka, then throw into your regular wash.
I think the last one also CAUSES the lipstick on clothing!!
