Household tips


I make no claims that these really work but if you are desparate, they can't hurt. Use at your own discretion.

1. Beer conditions the hair. Pour on hair after shampooing and rinse out...unless you want every man that likes beer following you around....then don't rinse it out.
2. Cooking spray will dry finger nail polish
3. Whipped topping will condition your hair in 15 minutes
4. Mayonnaise will kill lice and/or condition your hair
5. White kids glue will remove dead skin & blackheads. Wipe on your face, let dry and peel off.
6. Spike your hair with tooth paste
7. For shiny hair, use brewed tea
8. For sunburn, empty a large jar of instant tea into your bath water
9. Toothpaste helps minor burns
10. Burn your tongue with coffee or tea? Sprinkle sugar on it.
11. Meat tendorizer takes the bite out of bee stings
12. Cornstarch helps athelete's feet
13. Creamy peanut butter for scratched CD's?? Don't know about that one, but if it's already scratched, what the heck....
14. Non stick cooking spray limbers sticking bicycle chains & makes aluminum windows slide easier.
15. Vinegar helps control dandruff
16. To make body paint, heat solid cooking shortening in the micro until it melts, pour into a container and mix with food coloring. Let cool before using. I have not tried this one so don't know if the food coloring will stain the skin. You could also try cake frosting.
17. A few new uses for maxi pads....stick to the palm of your hand and clean windows & floors. Spray with furniture polish and do your dusting. You can even use them as knee pads or a sweat band in a hat!!
18. Remove carpet stains with club soda. Blot with towel to remove liquid.
19. Wine spilled on carpet will soak into salt if you catch it quick enough.
20. Cheap hairspray removes grease from carpet. Spray, rub lightly and dab up.
21. Labels on glassware come off if you rub them with peanut butter.
