Nifty, unintended uses for everyday products?

[ Edited ]

 

mine ~

 

quick picker-upper ~ I wrap a wide masking tape strip

around my hand, sticky-side out.

 

I use Aveeno Baby Shampoo and Wash with oatmeal extract

in the hand-soap dispenser in winter.

 

I pat my hair with fabric-softener sheets in the winter to

keep the static at bay.

 

I use ammonia on mosquitoe bites/I am a banquet when

it comes to those little buggers.

 

 

YOURS?

I use old toothbrushes to clean the corners and grout lines in my shower.

I use a lint roller to get dust off my lampshades.

Baby oil takes off stubborn waterproof mascara AND keeps your delicate eye area moisturized.

I use hairspray to get out stubborn stains, especially ink stains

If perfume starts to change, I use it as an air freshener. Just a few squirts makes rooms and fabric smell very nice, so even if I can't use it, at least I don't have to toss it away.

I use a sturdy plate stand as an easel for my iPad.

I love the smell of Philosophy Falling in Love.  I have the large pumps of the shampoo and conditioner on my bathroom sink.  When I need a hand lotion, I get a pump of the conditioner......it works great and my hands smell great too!

@2blondei love that idea and do you use the shampoo to wash your hands?

@dex  You know, I hadn't thought of that yet, but I think I will try it later today!  Heart
