1. Drinking two glasses of Gatorade can relieve headache pain almost
immediately -- without the unpleasant side effects caused by traditional pain relievers."
2. Did you know that Colgate toothpaste makes an excellent salve for burns?
3. Before you head to the drugstore for a high-priced inhaler filled with
mysterious chemicals, try chewing on a couple of curiously strong Altoids
peppermints.. They'll clear up your stuffed nose.
4. Cure urinary tract infections with Alka-Seltzer. Just dissolve two
tablets in a glass of water and drink it at the onset of the symptoms.
Alka-Seltzer begins eliminating urinary tract infections almost instantly --
even though the product has never been advertised for this use.
5. Cleaning liquid that doubles as bug killer... If menacing bees, wasps,
hornets, or yellow jackets get in your home and you can't find the
insecticide, try a spray of Formula 409. Insects drop to the ground
instantly.
6. Smart splinter remover... just pour a drop of Elmers Glue all over the
splinter, let dry, and peel the dried glue off the skin. The splinter sticks
to the dried glue.
7. Balm for broken blisters... To disinfect a broken blister, dab on a few
drops of Listerine... a powerful antiseptic.
8. Kills fleas instantly. Dawn dish washing liquid does the trick. Add a
few drops to your dog's bath and shampoo the animal thoroughly. Rinse well
to avoid skin irritations. Goodbye fleas.
9. Rainy day cure for dog odor... Next time your dog comes in from the rain
simply wipe down the animal with Bounce or any dryer sheet, instantly
making your dog smell springtime fresh.
10. Eliminate ear mites... All it takes is a few drops of Wesson corn oil in
your cat's ear. Massage it in, then clean with a cotton ball. Repeat daily
for 3 days. The oil soothes the cat's skin, smothers the mites, and
accelerates healing.
11. Vaseline cure for hair balls..... To prevent troublesome hair balls,
apply a dollop of Vaseline petroleum jelly to your cat's nose. The cat will
lick off the jelly, lubricating any hair in its stomach so it can pass
easily through the digestive system.
12. Quaker Oats for fast pain relief.... It's not for breakfast anymore! Mix
2 cups of Quaker Oats and 1 cup of water in a bowl and warm in the microwave
for 1 minute, cool slightly, and apply the mixture to your hands for
soothing relief from arthritis pain.
13. Use baby wipes to clean just about everything. I can't imagine ever not having them around. They get crayon, ink, pencil, chocolate, syrup off the wall, child, table, wood floor, tile floor, clothing (if caught immediately), and just about anywhere else your budding artist leaves their mark.
14. Shower Cleaning Tip: Better than scrubbing with cleanser -- I've been using All laundry detergent with color-safe bleach (because I ran out of cleanser *s*). I use it just like cleanser, but it takes off the soap scum a hundred times better.
