I came across some interesting things today…
Here are 10 alternative uses for soap that you may not have heard of:
Prevent foggy bathroom mirrors: Rub a bar of soap on your bathroom mirror to prevent fogging after a hot shower.
Loosen a stuck zipper: If you have a zipper that won’t budge, rubbing a bar of soap over the zipper teeth can help it slide smoothly.
Drawer freshener: Place an unwrapped bar of soap in your drawers to keep your clothes smelling fresh.
Screw lubricant: Before screwing into wood, coat the threads with soap to make it easier.
Fill nail holes: You can temporarily fill small nail holes in walls with a bar of soap that matches the wall color.
Ease door locks: Drag a key over a dry bar of soap and then insert it into a stiff lock to make it turn more easily.
Squeaky hinges and floorboards: Rub a dry bar of soap on squeaky hinges or floorboards to quiet them down.
Leak detection: Rub a damp bar of soap over areas where you suspect a leak, such as tires or inflatable pools. The soap will bubble at the site of the leak.
Deter pests: Soap can help deter deer and other pests from your garden.
Protect tools from rust: Coat your metal tools with soap to create a moisture barrier that prevents rust.
