\"7You might want to take another look at some common items in your home \u2013 they may have a crazy or unusual use that you\u2019ve never thought of before!<\/p>\n

Here are seven common items with uses that may surprise you!<\/h3>\n

1. Lemons<\/strong><\/p>\n

*\u00a0Deodorizing:\u00a0Rubbing half a lemon or a lemon slice under your arms is said to kill bacteria that causes body odor.<\/p>\n

And if you toss the used peel into the disposal, it will refresh your disposal and eliminate sink odors.<\/p>\n

*\u00a0Spider repellent:\u00a0Squeeze a few drops of lemon juice onto a cloth or the brush attachment of your vacuum, and then dust cobwebs with it.<\/p>\n

Spiders dislike the lemony scent and should shun the corners, decreasing your cobweb problem.<\/p>\n

2. Coca-Cola<\/strong><\/p>\n

*\u00a0Defroster:\u00a0Pour Coca-Cola over an ice-covered windshield to de-ice.<\/p>\n

*\u00a0Rust remover:\u00a0If a bolt, screw or nail is too rusty to turn or remove, pour Coke over it and allow it to soak for a few minutes and try again.<\/p>\n

*\u00a0Stain remover:\u00a0You can remove blood and\/or grease stains from clothing by pouring on some Coke.<\/p>\n

*\u00a0Grease and oil remover:\u00a0Pour Coca-Cola over oil stains on concrete; soak for a few minutes and clean with a hose.<\/p>\n

3. Chalk<\/strong><\/p>\n

*\u00a0Stain remover:\u00a0Get rid of oily stains by rubbing with chalk prior to washing. Chalk absorbs the oil.<\/p>\n

*\u00a0Ant repellent:\u00a0Draw a line of chalk across and around the places where the ants are getting into your house. They won\u2019t cross the chalk line because it dries them up.<\/p>\n

*\u00a0Moisture absorber<\/a>:\u00a0Drop a piece of chalk in with your silver items, and it will absorb the moisture and prevent tarnish.<\/p>\n

4. Salt<\/strong><\/p>\n

*\u00a0Frost prevention:\u00a0Rub your windows on the inside with salt water. Allow to dry to prevent frost.<\/p>\n

*\u00a0Keep down the fizz and foam:\u00a0Sprinkle salt over the fizzy foam on top of a soft drink to bring it down.<\/p>\n

*\u00a0Water spot removal:\u00a0Sprinkle a little salt on water spots on wood, and rub with a little olive or almond oil.<\/p>\n

*\u00a0Scrubber:\u00a0Use salt and baking soda to scrub out porcelain or metal sinks.<\/p>\n

5. Plastic Cups<\/strong><\/p>\n

*\u00a0Seed starter:\u00a0Use a nail to poke holes in the bottom of plastic cups, fill with dirt, and plant seeds.<\/p>\n

*\u00a0Sifter:\u00a0use a small nail to poke holes in the bottom of the cup, and use to sift fine sugar or cocoa powder over desserts.<\/p>\n

6. Coffee Filters<\/strong><\/p>\n

*\u00a0Flowerpot liner:\u00a0Put a coffee filter on the bottom of a flowerpot to cover the hole and prevent dirt from falling out.<\/p>\n

*\u00a0Window shiner:\u00a0Use a coffee filter to polish the inside of your car windows to remove smudges and streaks. Use on mirrors, too.<\/p>\n

*\u00a0Porcelain protector:\u00a0Place a coffee filter between plates and bowls in your cupboard to prevent scratches and nicks.<\/p>\n

7. Cornstarch<\/strong><\/p>\n

*\u00a0Body powder:\u00a0Use cornstarch on your feet or other sweaty areas to cool and prevent chafing.<\/p>\n

*\u00a0Lubricant:\u00a0Use cornstarch inside rubber boots and gloves to facilitate removal.<\/p>\n
