1. Coconut oil
Wiping your leather shoes, bags, and furniture with coconut oil helps keep them waterproof. But it is important to remember that this has a short-term effect.
"You can expect your leather item to be waterproof for only 1 to 2 days. Yes, oils repel water, but minimal coconut oil won’t provide waterproof protection for long. Mink oil or waterproof leather wax is better for this purpose." (Independence Brothers)
If you need an easily accessible oil that helps with your leather, then coconut oil is your choice, but bear the above in mind when thinking about your leather goods in the long run.
2. Shaving cream
Shaving cream doesn't just help with shaving; it also helps remove makeup stains from clothing.
It is essential to remember that not all shaving creams help with stain removal; foam shaving cream should be used rather than gel or cream formulas.
The foamy shaving cream helps remove stains from clothing (particularly makeup stains) and oil stains and grease stains from items such as carpets, rugs, and upholstered furniture.
3. Ice Cubes
These blocks of coolness aren't just great during summer.
Ice cubes are an inexpensive ingredient to use on your face for getting rid of puffiness, helping ease acne, calming inflammation, helping with your pores, reducing oiliness, soothing sunburn, brightening skin, and more.
They also help keep your clothes from wrinkling when you pop them into your washing machine cycle, remove stains and odours from clothing, and help keep your washing machine from damaging your delicate clothes.
