|
|
So, as yummy as food is for eating, it can also be great for many other things as well. Here are a bunch of cleaning suggestions for some food items.
Suggestions from Linda Cobb in the June 20-26 TV Guide...
Vodka: "Removes mold and mildew from caulking in your shower and gets rid of residue at the bottom of flower vases"
Molasses: "Great for getting grass stains off of shoes"
Tang: "Put some in your toilet and let sit for 20 minutes, then swish and flush, your bowl will sparkle"
Nonstick cooking spray: "Coat the grille of your car before going on a long trip; when you get back, just hose off the bugs"
Olive oil: "Mix one cup with 1/4 cup white vinegar to make 'the best furniture polish you can find'"
Ketchup: "It takes tarnish off copper" |

Gee, the only items I've got on that list are vodka & olive oil! :lol:
I sometimes use fresh lemon to remove the garlic smell from from my hands.
Here are some I've heard about but have never tried;
Raw meat placed on a fresh bruise. Enzymes in the meat are supposdly good to prevent serious discoloration. (Sorry, vegetarians. A tofu steak won't work!)
Soaking fish with strong odors(sardines, mackerel, etc) in milk to remove the smell before preparing.
My brother says he uses vodka to clean his skis. |

You think they would actually delete fine examples like honey or melted chocolate? Why that would be almost Freudian!!! :twisted: |

I can only think that, for optimum pleasure, the mouth is the only orifice in which a strawberry could be placed... :? |
