Unusual Uses for Everyday Items
October 5, 2012 | Repair, Re-use & Recycle | 21 comments
We’ve all got these items kicking around our homes and if you’re getting really sick and tired of only getting to use them for their original purpose then here’s your chance to go on and really shake it up.
Coffee Grounds
Can be spread over flower beds and will act as a natural fertiliser
Put dry grounds into a cleaned out margarine container and poke holes in the lid. Place in the fridge and the grounds will act as an odour absorber
Keep grounds near your kitchen sink. You can use them as a natural cleaner to get rid of garlic, onion and fishy smells from your hands
Cream of Tartar
This can be used to clean your coffee pot. Fill the coffee pot with water and add about 2 or 3 tsps of cream of tartar. Let it brew, then let the water cool and scrub the pot with a plastic scrub brush or any other non-abrasive tool then rinse well
Fabric Softener Sheets
Can be used to freshen the inside of shoes. Or stick them under the seats in your car to keep it smelling fresh
Packing Peanuts
Spray with perfume and place in a bowl out of sight and they will act to freshen the room
Stuff the peanuts into an old pillow case to use as soft bedding for your pets
Sprinkle peanuts into bottom of potted plants to help with drainage
Ice Cube Tray
Use as an organiser in a drawer for earrings, cuff links, or other small nick-nacks
Shower Caps
Use as shoe covers when travelling to protect them. Also can be used to separate make up or toothpaste etc. from the rest of your luggage
Toothpaste
Clean chrome taps and fixtures
Eliminate cleaning odours from your hands
Polish silver
Soothe skin by putting on any bites or irritated areas
Vinegar
Eliminate odour by placing some into a bowl in a freshly painted room
Relieves itching from insect bites
For shiny hair rinse freshly washed hair with a solution of 1 tbsp of vinegar with 1 cup of water to get rid of any excess soap
Yoghurt and Margarine Containers
Clean and use to store odds and ends in the house
