Household Items Which Have Savvy Secrets!

Yes, more Savvy Secrets for you!  This time they contain great uses of items that you have in your household.  Again, these were shared with us and we joyfully pass them along!

1.   Do you have a minor burn?  Use toothpaste on it.

2.   You woke up this morning and your eyes were puffy?  Preparation H will do the trick.  Obviously, be ultra careful NOT to get it IN your eyes!

3.   Have a fungus under your nails?  Soak the nail in LIsterene.

4.   Want to preserve a newspaper clipping?  Soak the clipping for 20 minutes in a large bottle of club soda and half a cup of milk of magnesia.  Let it dry and it will last for many years!

5.   Oh golly – got wax on your tablecloth from the candles?  Place a paper towel over the wax stain and iron it.  It will melt the wax onto the paper towel (and OFF of the tablecloth!)

6.   Little hands made a masterpiece on the wall with crayon?  Put toothpaste on it and then brush it.

7.   You have dirty grout in your kitchen or bathroom?  Put Listerene on it.

8.  Your darling canines brought fleas into the house and they are in the carpet?   Sprinkle 20 Mule Team Borax on it and let stand for 24 hours.

Again, we always appreciate hearing from you with Savvy Secrets….it is fun to spread the good!

    Thanks for these ongoing helpful savvy secrets! Reminds me of the old dog-eared volumes of ‘Hints From Heloise’ that helped me all those years ago as a young hostess and as a mom. Have had the candle wax drips on fine dining table wood many times over the years and also use the paper towel trick, but with a hair dryer rather than an iron.
