•Mice are not particularly fond of cheese – so it is strange that it is the first food people go for when they are baiting their mousetraps. What most people don’t know is that mice prefer peanut butter – how this has been proven I do not know, but the fact that peanut butter is so much cheaper than cheese, makes this tip a very handy and frugal one. So next time you need to bait a mouse trap, don’t bother loading it with cheese, stick on some trusty peanut butter.<\/p>\n
•Despite the major advances in science in recent years, no one seems to have managed to invent a label that can be removed easily without leaving any glue behind. Fortunately, we have peanut butter. Rub some of the tasty spread on the label glue and rub with a cloth – it works brilliantly.<\/p>\n

•Peanut butter is an excellent cleaner for leather furniture. Just rub a small amount on and work it in in a circular motion. Remove with a buffing cloth and there you have it! The caveat to this tip is peanut-butter smelling furniture. To avoid that you might want to mix a little perfume oil in it – but not too much. Also, if you do add the perfume, make sure you don’t mix up your jars or you will end up with a peanut butter and jelly sandwich that tastes like mouth wash.<\/p>\n

Just rub some peanut butter into the gum and you can wipe the whole mess off with a cloth.<\/p>\n
•Don’t you hate it when you’re eating an ice cream cone filled with your favorite flavor and it starts to melt down your hand? Part of it comes from the top, but part of it also comes from that tiny whole in the bottom of a sugar cone. To eliminate half of the problem, plug the bottom on the cone with a dollop of peanut butter.
