DID YOU KNOW...? NEW WAYS TO USE OLD PRODUCTS


1.  You can use steel wool to:

 

  • Fill a screw hole that has become too big for the screw.  Stuff the hole with steel wool and re-insert the screw.
  • Make an instant pincushion.  Stuff an old sock with steel wool and tie tightly for a pincushion that will keep pins and needles rust free.
  • Repel kitchen pests, by placing steel wool around the pipes under the sink.

 

2.  You can use nail polish remover to:

 

  • Remove sticker residue from glass objects.
  • Un-stick your fingers after a superglue mishap.
  • Remove marker and ink from appliances, glass, and stainless steel.

 

3.  You can use olive oil to:

 

  • Revitalize leather shoes and baseball gloves.
  • Clean greasy hands.
  • Repel moles in the yard.  Soak a cloth in olive oil and stuff it into the mole hole.  Moles hate olive oil!

 

4.  You can use cola to:

 

  • Remove grease stains from the garage floor.
  • Clear a sluggish drain.
  • Loosen a bolt that is rusted on.
  • Remove stubborn stains from the toilet.  Pour in the cola and wait one hour before scrubbing.
