New Uses for Old Things

April 3, 2013 by vleeson Leave a Comment

You just never know when something old becomes ‘new’ again! Check out these ideas for new uses for everyday items. 

 

Toothbrush: Use a clean toothbrush to remove stray threads of silk from freshly shucked ears of corn. The bristles will lift them away quickly and efficiently.

 

Colander: At a party, stash ice in a colander set on top of a bucket or a bowl. Water will drain out, and guests will get only the solid stuff.

 

Vegetable oil: Put shine on leather shoes with a bit of vegetable oil. Use a damp cloth to remove any dirt, then run a soft cloth with a drop of oil over the surface to (literally) add polish.

 

A giveaway shower cap: The kind you get in hotels is the perfect wrapper for shoes when traveling, preventing them from dirtying clothes packed in your suitcase.

 

Return address stickers: Brand anything as “yours” with a return address sticker. Use them on such items as books, binders, Tupperware, office supplies, tools, etc.

 

Ketchup squeeze bottle: Make no-mess pancakes with the help of an old, clean ketchup bottle. Pour in batter, then squeeze out precise portions.
