I have seen some of these but keep reading you will be amazed!! LOL


Some helpful hints and who would think.....

* Budweiser beer conditions the hair

* Pam cooking spray will dry finger nail polish

* Cool whip will condition your hair in 15 min

* Mayonnaise will KILL LICE , it will also condition your hair

* Elmers Glue-paint on your face, allow it to dry, peel off and see
the dead skin and blackheads if any

* Shiny Hair-use brewed Lipton Tea

* Sunburn -empty a large jar of Nestea into your bath water

* Minor burn-Colgate or Crest toothpaste

* Burn your tongue? put sugar on it!

* Arthritis? WD-40 Spray and rub in, kill insect stings too

* Bee stings - meat tenderizer

* Chigger bite - Preparation H

* Puffy eyes - Preparation H

* Paper cut - crazy glue or chap stick (glue is used instead of
sutures at most hospitals)

* Stinky feet - Jello!!

* Athletes feet - cornstarch

* Fungus on toenails or fingernails - Vicks vapor rub

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

* Kool Aid can be used as a dye in paint also

* Kool aid in Dannon plain yogurt as a finger paint, your kids will
love it and it won't hurt them if they eat it!

* Peanut butter - will get scratches out of CD's! Wipe off with a
coffee filter paper

* Sticking bicycle chain - Pam no-stick cooking spray

* Pam will also remove paint, and grease from your hands! Keep a can
in your garage for your hubby

* Peanut butter will remove ink from the face of dolls

* When the doll clothes are hard to put on, sprinkle with corn
starch and watch them slide on

* Heavy dandruff - pour on the vinegar!

* Body paint - Crisco mixed with food coloring. Heat the Crisco in
the microwave, pour into a empty film container and mix with the food
color of your choice!

* Tie Dye T-Shirt - mix a solution of Kool Aid in a container, tie a
rubber band around a section of the t-shirt and soak

* Preserving a newspaper clipping - large bottle of club soda and
1/2 cup of milk of magnesia, soak for 20 min. and let dry, will last for
many years!

* A Slinky will hold toast and CD's!

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

* Stay-Free Maxi Pads- clean window, floors, just stick to the palm
of your hands and work! Can also be used as a knee pad.

* Pampers as an absorbent! Remove stains from the carpet with club
soda, and a pamper to absorb. Wine stains, pour on the Morton salt and
watch it absorb into the salt.

* To remove wax - Take a paper towel and iron it over the wax stain,
it will absorb into the towel.

* Remove labels off glassware etc. rub with peanut butter!

* Baked on food -fill container with water, get a Bounce paper
softener and the static from the Bounce towel will cause the baked on
food to adhere to it. Soak overnight.
Also; you can use 2 Efferdent tablets, soak overnight!

* Crayon on the wall - Colgate toothpaste and brush it!

* Dirty grout - Listerine

* Stains on clothes - Colgate

* Grass stains - Karo Syrup

* Grease Stains- Coca Cola, it will also remove grease stains from
the driveway overnight. We know it will take corrosion from batteries!

* Sweat Stains - Efferdent, or vinegar

* Use a Maxi-Pad in your cap as a sweat band (Of course I think I
would staple this or pin it in.... you wouldn't want this to drop on
the ground)

* Fleas in your carpet? 20 Mule Team Borax- sprinkle and let stand
for 24 hours. Maybe this will work if you get them back again.

* To keep FRESH FLOWERS longer Add a little Clorox, or 2 Bayer
aspirin, or just use 7-up instead of water.

There is no way I'm going to wash the windows with a maxi pad. LOL I've heard that a lot of restaraunts use coke to clean the grills with. Imagine what it must do to your stomache. :eek:

When I worked at Braum's they used pickle juice to clean. Never waste anyhing or they were just scrimping on buying cleaning products.

Why have they come out with orange based cleaning products? Our stomachs have stronger acids in them than these products have.

Autumn--you mean you dont want to strap maxie-pads on your knees and go out gardening with them. You neighbors would love you. LOL Have to think about this one. MMMMM, don't think I would.

I agree! How embarassing! lol. I'm only going to use them what they're intended for!

and as for the glue thing, i've tried it, but it doesn't work that well. I usually use it to clean my hands when i'm doing crafts...even though my hands are washed, when i get glue on my hands and i rub them together to get it off, you wouldn't believe the dirt that comes off. *yuck* eventually it comes out white, so i know my hands are clean. ^_^

These are great thanks!

The only problem with tie dyeing with kool aid is it washes out.

Peanut butter and coffee filters to repair CD scratches?? HMMMMmmmm, kids got a CD all scratched and now it won't work. I'll try this and see if it works!! It's better to try this on a kids cheappy CD than a good one!!
Also, now I have an idea on how to use up Dot's diappys once she's totally potty trained!!(She's doing good!!)

I'm always telling my son not to play with the glue so I don't think I better start rubbing it on my face. LOL He likes to put it on his fingers and let it dry then peel it off. :rolleyes:

I once spilled a 44-oz. soda in the floorboard of my car, and soaked up the whole mess with 1 size med. Fitti diaper. Worked wonderfully. Good tips!

Kool-aid can also dye an orential rug orange but just in one big spot where the kid spilled it. Never gonna come out. Didn't happen to me, thank God.

Cashew nuts can work as a laxative--well it does on my mother.

Autumn--wear the wings of course, more fashionable. the lites won't pad your knees, wear the big bulky ones. LOL :p

:cool: Wear these though, not to be cool but to hide and a very big hat.

Paper cut - crazy glue or chap stick (glue is used instead of
sutures at most hospitals






My son fell and cut his face right above his eye and I took him to the ER and they used glue instead of sutures...they said it would not leave a scar....of course they charged $200 for that glue:rolleyes:


These are some good ideas though...Thanks:D
