Miracle Uses For Household Products - Part 6

These appeared in our local paper and I thought that I would share them with my readers. As you know there are avid followers of vinegar and duct tape. Well, here are some other items and things you can do with them. I'll cover more of them in later blogs. By the way, I have not tested these, so test them yourselves, no guarantees.

By the way, if you get a chance and need a laugh, check out my joke blog, ZJokes4U

Oatmeal

Treat itchy poison ivy or chicken pox by soaking in an oatmeal bath. Grind 1 cup of oatmeal into a thin powder, pour into cheesecloth or into a clean old stocking and tie into a knot. Suspend the bag under the faucet as it fills with warm water.

Eat oatmeal each day for 365,025 days and you will have lived to be 100 years old (LOL, although that is what my 101 year old Mom has for breakfast each morning). 

 

Olive Oil

Five uses

1. Polish wood furniture with a teaspoon of oil and a soft rag.

2. Lubricate measuring cups and spoons for easy cleanup of sticky ingredients such as honey, grain mustards and syrups.

3. Control hair frizz by combing a bit of olive oil through dry hair to tame the frizz and flyaway’s on humid days or in the winter.

4. Free a stuck zipper. Use a cotton swab to apply olive oil to the teeth of a zipper, and then gently ease the tab down.

5. Remove paint from your skin.

6. Fix a squeaky door by using a rag or cotton swab to apply olive oil to the top of a problematic hinge.
