Calm down! I'm talking about baby powder. Here are some uses for the white stuff that might surprise you. It's not just for baby's bottoms anymore.
-Stop ants at a picnic. Sprinkle some on the blanket. The powder is too dense for the creatures to struggle through.
-Untangle your necklace knots. Sprinkle the chain with the powder and start unraveling the tangles.
-Stay cool on HOT summer nights. Sprinkle some on your sheets before you turn in. The powder will soak up the moisture caused by night time perspiration.
-Prevent bloodstains on carpet/couch. All you have to do is pour a handful of powder into a bowl, and add enough water to make a paste. Apply to the effected area using a clean cloth. Allow to dry about 30 minutes, and then vacuum.
-No grease stains on my clothing. Got a blob of grease on your shirt or lap from that juicy burger. What do you do? Blot gently with a napkin, then sprinkle the spot with a layer of baby powder (about 1/4 cup). Let sit for about 3 hours before brushing off. The starch in the baby powder will draw out the oil from the fabric's fibers. This also removes grease from walls.
Ciao!
