5 New Uses For Baby Powder
Baby powder can go far beyond bathtime. This product has a host of other uses...mostly in the realm of de-stinking anything that comes to mind. Here are my favorite other uses for baby powder.
Fight Shoe Odor. Although we deny it, we've all had a pair of shoes that have smelled less then fresh. Try a light dusting with baby powder and let them sit overnight. They will be good as new in the morning.
Ant Repellant. If there's a spot where ants like to come in your kitchen, try sprinkling some baby powder around it. The scent and texture cause too much sensory overload for the critters and they will avoid it. Bookmark this tip for summer, since it will also work on picnic blankets.
Stop Sweaty Sheets. One of the few drawbacks of an excellent heating system is that you can be uncomfortable sleeping due to perspiration. Try dusting baby powder between the sheets to absorb moisture. You'll be comfortable all night.
Pet Cleaner. Lets face it; getting your dog or cat to take a bath can be quite the challenge. If you can smell your pets before you see them, sprinkle some baby powder onto a cloth and wipe them down. The powder helps deodorize them and is safe for their skin. (To be even more on the safe side, choose a talc-free powder.)
Rubber Glove Helper. They're not just useful in the hospital. Drop some powder on your dishwashing gloves to keep them from sticking to each other. By coating your hands wih some powder it also makes it much easier to put them on.
Besides, you need to think it through next time before you respond......it's not about baby powder being "palatable" at all. It's about harming your pets.
(palatable: "pleasing to the palate", as regards to taste)
It has also been long since recommended that it be applied very sparingly and carefully to children, for the same reasons.
I have 2 uses for baby powder. One is to apply it in areas (like the midriff bra line) that are prone to chafing or undue sweating, and the second is to apply to my bangs and temples, with a comb, to absorb oil and thus delay washing my hair for one more day, if I'm just too hurried, or to help my temporary hair color not wash out so fast.
ps...I also use cinammon for ants...smells better!
People with Asthma, Emphysema and simple allergies will find additional breathing problems when baby powder is introduced into the air that they breathe.
If you have any doubts as what I am saying, check with a competent Pulmonologist.
