I am an absolute fiend for cool, lifehack articles like this one at Fabulessly Frugal. Not only do you save money by getting creative and reusing items, but sometimes, you learn new tricks that help you out. The article has all kinds of alternative uses for baby powder. Yes, it keeps your baby’s booty dry and rash free- but it can also get grease out of clothing (and hair), and repair water damaged books. Here’s a few more:
–Sprinkle some baby powder over sand-covered kids (and adults) to soak up excess moisture and make the sand incredibly easy to brush off.
–To fight shoe odor, lightly dust the inside of your shoes with powder and let them sit overnight.
–For squeaky floorboards, sprinkle some baby powder between the boards and sweep into the cracks.
–Dust a tangled necklace chain with baby powder to make it easier to untangle.
