I love finding sites that show you how to take one item intended for a particular use, and use it for something completely unexpected. Here are a couple of my favorites...
Did you know you can use chalk to repel ants from your house? Just draw a chalk-line in front of your doorways and the ants won't cross it.... not sure why, but they say so here in an article that gives unusual uses for chalk.
There are a million uses for WD-40, but did you know it can loosen sticky zippers, lifts splattered grease on stoves and removes lipstick stains from clothes? Check it out here.
What home remedies can you use for sunburn? Baking soda, vinegar or whole milk yogurt. Read about it here.
How about table salt? You can make special yellow-flame pine-cones for your campfires, make clean up for a cracked egg much easier or make a natural pesticide. Just read about it from TipNut here.
Ok, so I could go on and on, but you can find out more for yourself on these sites. Enjoy!
