We all have used it at least once in our lives, but usually
for only one purpose. Did you know that
it can also be a very useful tool around the house as well? No longer is shaving cream used only for
shaving, here is a list of 10 different uses of the shaving cream wonder.
1. Carpet Stain Remover
No matter where you are in life, something
is always bound to fall on that beautiful carpet of yours. Although it may
happen once in a blue moon for most of you, when you have small kids like we
do, it becomes a daily occurrence. Carpet cleaner can become expensive so that
is why we use shaving cream. Just pour
it on the stained area and wait a few minutes to let it foam up and soak in.
Then wipe it out with a damp cloth and wa-la you have a clean carpet once
again!
2. Mirror and window cleaner
When it comes to daily chores what better
way to get the kids involved then to have a little fun in the process? Just
spray on the shaving cream and let them play around until the entire surface is
covered in shaving cream and then wipe off and now you have a streak free mirror
or window. –added plus, it also works as
a defogger.
3. Squeaky door stopper
Do you have that one door in the house that
lets everyone know what you are up to? Well shaving cream can put a stop to it.
Just spray a little dab on the hinges and you are good to go. No more need for
oil.
4. Waterless hand washing
How many of us, especially with young kids
are found stuck at the park or sports meet wanting to wash our hands but don’t
have a sink in site, well just pull out a can of shaving cream, pump some onto
your hands, rub it around and wipe off with a towel and your hands are as good
as new. Since shaving cream is basically just a really thick soap it cleans and
disinfects.
5. Table cleaner
This one is our favorite thing to do with
our kids and they have no idea they are helping us clean! Just pour some
shaving cream on the table and let them have at it. If your kids are like mine
they can spend hours playing in the shaving cream. When they are all done, then
wipe away with a damp cloth. Your table will be back to sparkling.
6. Chrome Polish
I hate water marks on chrome, don’t you?
Simply rub the shaving cream on your faucet, sink, fridge, or even oven handle
and wipe off with a damp cloth and the problem is solved.
7. Sneaker Cleaner
Scuff marks on your favorite pair of
sneakers, rub them down with shaving cream and they wipe right off.
8. Easter Egg dye
Ever forget to buy the dye for the Easter
eggs, we sure did just this last year, so we pulled out our shaving cream and
put a few drops of food coloring in and rolled the eggs around in it. Let them
sit for 15 minutes then rub the shaving cream off and you have dyed Easter
eggs.
9. Bath paint
While you have the dye out why now put some
shaving cream in small containers like an egg carton and mix in different colors.
It makes a great bath paint set and cleans your bathtub while the kids are
playing.
10. Fun in the Sun
Yes shaving cream is a great cleaner, but
it is also a great way to get the kids outside and in this beautiful sunshine.
Shaving cream fights are a great way to let loose and have a little fun,
especially when money is tight!
Not too shabby for a $2 can! Have your tired
any of these? How did they work for you?
