The problem here is that you know you won’t be using the shampoo but you feel terrible throwing it out. So, what do you do? Read this and make all that shampoo work for you!
- Car wash. It lathers up nicely and makes your hair shiny, so why wouldn’t it do the same for your car? Save money, get a good workout, and let the kids have some fun washing the car.
- Unstick a zipper. Use a Q-tip to dab some shampoo on a stuck zipper and get it moving.
- Moisturize your feet. Rub shampoo on your feet, cover with cotton socks, and leave overnight. In the morning your feet will feel soft and silky.
- Revitalize leather. Rub a little shampoo with a clean cloth on leather shoes and handbags to shine and protect from salt stains.
- Pets. Use shampoo to get your pet clean and fresh.
- Clean the tub and faucet. It rinses away with water and will get the chrome nice and shiny. Don’t use too much, though, or you’ll have a hard time rinsing it away.
- Hand laundry. Add a few drops to your water for hand washing delicates and sweaters.
- Remove laundry stains. Rub shampoo on the stain, let it soak, then wash as usual.
- Clean brushes. Shampoo is a great cleaner for hair and makeup brushes.
- Body scrub. Mix in some sugar and use as a gentle, moisturizing body scrub.
Don’t you love it when one product can be used in so many ways? And much cheaper than buying so many different things, too! What are your favorite ways to use shampoo?
