It's In The Petroleum.....

mycoupons | 01 November, 2007 07:04

Vaseline is almost found in nearly every medicine chest, glove compartment, purse, and emergency kit.  Over the years it was mainly used for cuts and scrapes to protect from bacteria getting in the wound, but now the use for this incredible product found in your grocery stores is much more. From shining shoes,  for instant makeup to applying to squeaky doors, petroleum jelly has some unusual uses.

 Here are some handy dandy tips for using petroleum jelly around your home!

* How many times have you used Super Glue to find the next time,  the cap stuck?  Try this! Apply a thick coating of petroleum jelly inside the cap threads to keep it from gluing itself shut. This will work on any cap or lid that may stick.

 *No Tear baths for babies and kids:  Dab a bit of petroleum jelly to the eyebrows of young kids before bath time. This creates a "water-resistant barrier" against soap bubbles, especially if you are out of tear-free shampoo formulas.

 *Squeaky Doors?  No problem,  just apply a coating of petroleum jelly on the hinge pin.

*Add Power to That Plunger:  Apply petroleum jelly about 2 tbsp. around the plunger's outer rim. Doing this creates a tighter seal and enhances the de-clogging performance of the plunger

 *Polishing Nails a problem? Put a little petroleum jelly on the skin around your nails before putting on the nail polish.  By doing this, mistakes  can be wiped off when your nails are dry and it softens cuticles at the same time

*Keep Those Garbage Can Lids from freezing: In the winter sometimes rubber garbage can lids can freeze to the can.  Just apply a thin coat of petroleum jelly to  keep it from sticking.

*Keep your locks from freezing: Apply some petroleum jelly on the shaft of the key and insert it into the lock. Work the key and lock 4 or 5 times to lubricate the tumblers. This is also a good for keys and locks that just don't seem to work smoothly together.

Take 2 Aspirin and Call Me In The Morning....

mycoupons | 11 October, 2007 06:00

Aspirin is known as an excellent pain reliever.  You take it for headaches,  toothaches,  muscle aches,  or a fever.  Some take low dose aspirin as part of their heart regimen.    Well aspirin can soothe more than your normal aches and pains,  it also soothes many things around your house as well.

Here's a few handy dandy aspirin uses:

Sweat Stains?  No problem!  Sweat stains from white tee shirts be gone with just using 2 aspirins in a 1/2 cup of warm water,  let dissolve.  Then apply to the area of fabric where the perspiration stain is.   Let sit for a couple of hours before washing.

Ouch! Dang Mosquito!   Soothe the mosquito bite by wetting the skin and rubbing an aspirin over the bite spot.

Shoulders Look Like Snowy Mountain?   Get rid of that dandruff problem by keeping it in check.  Just use 2 aspirins crushed to fine powder,  then add it to the normal amount of shampoo you use when you wash your hair.  Leave mixture on your hair for about 2 minutes.   Rinse well and wash again with plain shampoo.

Pimple Problem?  No worry!   Crush 1 aspirin and add a little water to make a paste.   Apply paste to pimple and wait a about 3 minutes,  then rinse off.   The pimple will become less red and lessen in size since the aspirin is an astringent.

Want To Make Your Fresh Flower Bouquets Last Longer?   Just simply drop an aspirin tablet (not coated) into the water in a vase before placing your cut flowers in it.

Hair Gone Green or Yellow?   If your hair goes yellow or green from the chlorine in a swimming pool,  simply dissolve 8 aspirin tablets in a glass of water and rub the liquid into your hair.   Leave in solution in hair for about 10 min.,  then rinse out and shampoo.
