HOUSEHOLD HACKS


I love stuff like this ~ simple, inexpensive hacks for dealing with life's messiness! I can't take credit - I don't even know where I got this from originally. Some of these are really good, others I don't think I would try, others still seem totally random but I wanted to share the list with you! ...maybe you'll learn something new that makes you go "Hmmmmm..."

HELPFUL HOUSEHOLD HINTS

  1. Cool Whip will condition your hair in 15 minutes.

  2. Mayonnaise will kill lice. It will also condition your hair.

  3. Elmer’s Glue: paint some on your face, allow it to dry, peel off and see the dead skin and blackheads come off! (Ewww!)

  4. For shiny hair, use brewed Lipton tea.

  5. Sunburn – empty a large jar of Nestea into your bath water. (Ahhhh!)

  6. Minor burn- Colgate or Crest toothpaste.

  7. Burn your tongue? Put sugar on it!

  8. Arthritis – WD40… spray and rub in. Kills insects too! (Ummm, NOPE!)

  9. Bee stings – meat tenderizer

  10. Stinky feet – soak in Jell-O! (sounds like fun anyways).

  11. Athlete’s feet – cornstarch.

  12. Fungus on toenails or fingernails – Vicks vapo rub.

  13. Kool aid to clean dishwasher pipes. Just put in the detergent section and run a cycle. It will also clean a toilet.

  14. Kool Aid can be used as a dye in paint, also Kool Aid in plain yogurt as a finger paint – your kids will love it and it won’t hurt them if they eat it!

  15. Peanut butter will get scratches out of CDs! Wipe off with a coffee filter.

  16. Spray Pam no-stick cooking spray onto a sticking bicycle chain. (True dat!)

  17. Peanut butter will remove ink from the face of dolls.

  18. Heavy dandruff – pour on the vinegar! (Yep!)

  19. To tie-dye a t-shirt: mix a solution of Kool Aid & cold water in a container, tie a rubber band around a section of the t-shirt and soak.

  20. Preserving a newspaper clipping: large bottle of club soda and ½ cup of milk-of- magnesia… soak for 20 minutes and let dry… will last for many years! (WHAT??)

  21. To keep goggles and glasses from fogging, coat with Colgate toothpaste.

  22. Wine stains: pour on the Morton salt and watch it absorb into the salt!

  23. To remove wax: take a brown paper bag/paper towel and iron it over the wax stain. It will absorb into the bag or towel. (It works!)

  24. Remove labels off glassware etc. by rubbing with peanut butter!

  25. Baked-on food: fill container with water, get a Bounce fabric softener and the static from the Bounce sheet will cause the baked-on food to adhere to it. Soak overnight. Also, you can use 2 Efferdent tablets, soak overnight.

  26. Crayon on the wall: apply Colgate toothpaste and brush it. (and we put it in our mouths everyday?!?)

  27. Dirty grout: use Listerine.

  28. Grass stains: Karo Syrup.

  29. Grease Stains: Coca Cola; It will also remove grease stains from the driveway overnight. (Again - and we put it in our bodies!?!)

  30. Fleas in your carpet? 20 Mule Team Borax – sprinkle and let stand for 24 hours.

  31. To keep fresh flowers longer, add a little Clorox or 2 Bayer aspirin – or just use 7-up instead of water!
