8 Uses for baby powder:
- Diaper Rash: It does the hard work of protecting little bottoms from diaper rash.
- Grease Removal: Use a sponge to rub the powder on a stain until it’s gone.
- Stinky Shoes: Coat the inside of shoes with a thin coat of baby powder to get rid of odor.
- Stop creaks: Shake powder in between wooden floorboards to keep them quiet.
- Get rid of Ants: Sprinkle powder around their hideouts and they’ll be history.
- Give Your Garden a Fighting Chance: The medicated-powder baby powder helps reduce the chance of rot while warding off moles, voles, grubs and other pests. To give your plants a leg up, place 5-6 flower bulbs and about 3 tablespoons baby powder in a sealed plastic bag and give it a few gentle shakes.
- Spruce up Your ‘Do: A little baby powder on your roots will sap up any grease hanging onto your strands. Just be sure to brush it out well, especially if you have dark hair.
- Dog Dry-Bath: Give your dog a dry-shampoo bath with baby powder. Rub one or two handfuls of baby powder into their coat and let sit for a few minutes before thoroughly brushing it out. Just like it does with your hair, the baby powder will grab up any grease and have your dog smelling baby fresh.
