The shampoo will help the zipper to slide easily.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: 12pt;\">&#8211; Buff your shoes. In a pinch, you can revitalize leather shoes and purses by using a small amount of shampoo on a clean cloth. Rub into worn areas as you would shoe polish, and give it a buff. This also offers some protection from salt stains.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: 12pt;\">&#8211; Shampoo works well on laundry stains-treat the stain with a few drops of shampoo, rub them in, let soak, and then launder as usual.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: 12pt;\">&#8211; Worse than a wound is often the removal of a bandage. Let a few drops of shampoo soak through the adhesive part and the bandage should peel off without pain and sticking.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: 12pt;\">&#8211; In a pinch, shampoo can be used as a substitute for bubble bath.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: 12pt;\">&#8211; Shampoo (conditioner, too) works as a great substitute shaving cream. Lather up, shave away. Shampoo is much more nourishing\/less drying than soap, which is what many women use on their legs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: 12pt;\">&#8211; Harsh soap can dry out hands, but sometimes you need something strong for extra grime-next time, try using shampoo as a hand cleanser. It tackles messes with out drying out your skin. You can also just put it in your liquid soap dispenser for everyday use.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: 12pt;\">&#8211; Shampoo works well to remove body oil and gunk from combs and hairbrushes; comb out any loose hair and swish the comb\/brush in some warm water and shampoo. Let it soak for a few minutes, then rinse well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: 12pt;\">&#8211; You can clean houseplant leaves using a few drops of shampoo in a bowl of water; dip a towel in the solution, wring it out, and wipe away dust.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: 12pt;\">&#8211; For a quick touch up cleanse of tub, shower or sink, use some shampoo as a liquid cleaner. It rinses clean and makes chrome shine as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: 12pt;\">&#8211; To clean paint brushes use a few drops of shampoo and massage it through the bristles, then rinse well. (Never use extra hot water when washing paint brushes, it loosens the glue resulting in bristle loss!)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: 12pt;\">&#8211; Try shampoo on rug and carpet spills, dab a few drops on with some water and blot with a towel. Repeat until spill is gone.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: 12pt;\">&#8211; A few drops of shampoo rubbed onto the inside surface of a swimming mask (then rinsed) will prevent the mask from fogging up.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: 12pt;\">&#8211; Diluted shampoo can take the place of bubble soap for bubble-blowing wands. Yay.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: 12pt;\">&#8211; Car car-washing suds, add 1\/4 cup shampoo to a pail of warm water and lather up the car as usual.<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: 12pt;\">&#8211; Shampoo mixed with baking soda into a paste can be used to clean chrome on vehicles; rinse thoroughly and buff to shine.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: 12pt;\">&#8211; Loosen stuck nuts and bolts with a drop of shampoo. Let it seep into the threads and the bolt should loosen easily.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: 12pt;\">&#8211; Use shampoo to lubricate squeaky hinges.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8211; For a stuck zipper, put a drop of shampoo on a Q-tip and dab it onto the zipper.
