Submitted by Noncook, Dianne on 3/21/03 Some helpful hints and who would think.....
- Budweiser® beer conditions the hair.
- Cool Whip® will condition your hair in 15 minutes.
- Mayonnaise will kill lice. It will also condition your hair.
- Paint Elmer's Glue® on your face; allow it to dry; peel it off and see the dead skin and blackheads, if any, disappear.
- For shiny hair use brewed Lipton® Tea.
- To relieve sunburn pain, empty a large jar of Nestea® into your bath water
- To relieve the pain of a minor burn, use Colgate® or Crest® toothpaste.
- If you burn your tongue, put sugar on it.
- Rub in WD-40® Spray to relieve arthritis pain. It will releive insect stings too.
- Put meat tenderizer on bee stings.
- Use Preparation H® on chigger bites and puffy eyes.
- Put Crazy Glue® or Chap Stick® on paper cuts. (Glue is often used instead of sutures at most hospitals.)
- Foot problems? Use Jell-O® to abolish foot odor, cornstarch for athlete's foot and Vicks® Vapor Rub for toenail (or fingernail) fungus.
- Use Kool-Aid® to clean dishwasher pipes. Put it in the detergent section and run a cycle. To tie-dye a T-shirt, mix a solution of Kool Aid® in a container, tie a rubber band around a section of the t-shirt and soak. Kool Aid® will also clean a toilet, it can be used to dye paint, and it can be used in Dannon® plain yogurt to make finger paint. Your kids will love it and they won't be hurt if they eat it.
- Peanut butter will get scratches out of CD's. Wipe it off with a paper coffee filter. Peanut butter will remove ink from the face of dolls, and rub it on new glassware, etc. to remove the sticky labels.
- Pam® cooking spray will dry finger nail polish. Use Pam® if you have a sticking bicycle chain. It will also remove paint and grease from your hands. Keep a can in your garage as well as your pantry.
- When doll clothes are hard to put on, sprinkle them with corn starch and watch them slide on.
- If you have heavy dandruff, pour on the vinegar.
- To make body paint, use Crisco® mixed with food coloring. Heat the Crisco® in the microwave, pour into an empty film container and mix with the food color of your choice.
- To preserve a newspaper clipping, use a large bottle of club soda and 1/2 cup of
milk of magnesia; soak the clipping for 20 minutes and then let dry. The clipping will last for many years. - A Slinky will hold toast and CD's.
- To remove wine stains, pour on Morton® salt and watch the wine get absorbed into the salt.
- To remove wax, iron a paper towel over the wax stain. The wax will be absorbed into the towel.
- To remove baked-on food, fill the pan with water and add a Bounce ® water-softener sheet. Soak overnight. The static from the sheet will cause the baked-on food to adhere to it. (2 Efferdent® tablets will work as well.)
- To remove crayon marks from the wall, brush Colgate® tootpaste on it. It will also rmove stains from clothes. Coat it on goggles and glasses to keep them from fogging.
- To clean dirty grout, use Listerine.®
- To remove grass stains, use Karo® Syrup.
- To remove grease stains, use Coca Cola®. It will also remove grease stains from
the driveway when left on overnight, and It will remove corrosion from batteries. - To get rid of fleas in your carpet, use 20-Mule Team Borax® Sprinkle it on the carpet and let it stand for 24 hours.
- To keep flowers fresh longer, add a little Clorox®, or 2 Bayer® aspirin tablets. You may also use 7-Up® instead of water.
- You don't have to squeeze a loaf of bread in the super market to determine which is freshest. Fresh bread is delivered to the stores five days a week. Each day has a different color twist-tie. They are: Monday - blue, Tuesday - green, Thursday - red, Friday - white, and Saturday - yellow. So if you are shopping on Thursday, you would look for a red twist-tie, not a white one, which is Friday's color, indicating that the loaf is almost a week old. To make it very easy to remember, the colors go alphabetically by color: blue - green - red - white -yellow; Monday through Saturday. I thought this was interesting, so I looked in the grocery store and the bread wrappers do have differently colored twist-ties, and even the ones with the plastic clips have different colors. You learn something new everyday! Enjoy fresh bread when you buy bread with the right color twist-tie on the day you are shopping.
