You’ll be amazed with all the helpful ways you can use this fresh-smelling powder around your home.<\/p>\n
#1. Pet cleaner: <\/strong>Get your pet clean using baby powder as a dry shampoo, which will leave him smelling nice and fresh without having to toss him in the tub.<\/p>\n #2. Cool sheets: <\/strong>On hot summer nights, sprinkle baby powder over the sheets to keep them nice and cool. And the powder will absorb any sweat, making for a refreshing night’s sleep.<\/p>\n #3. Absorb grease: <\/strong>The next time you dribble some grease on your favorite shirt or edge of the carpet, sprinkle with baby powder. It absorbs the oil and refreshes the fabric.<\/p>\n #4. Refresh books:<\/strong> Give old books new life by sprinkling them with baby powder. It absorbs the moisture, getting rid of any mold, and leaves books fresh.<\/p>\n #5. Plump lashes:<\/strong> Dust baby powder over eyelashes before applying mascara for a fuller look.<\/p>\n #6. Chafe-free:<\/strong> Give your inner thighs a dusting of baby powder before your next big run to prevent chafing.<\/p>\n #7. Smell-buster:<\/strong> When your shoes aren’t smelling their best, fill with baby powder and let set overnight. Dump out and enjoy like-new shoes.<\/p>\n #8. No more squeaks:<\/strong> If you’ve got a wood floor that squeaks, sprinkle with baby powder, and then sweep into gaps. No more squeaks!<\/p>\n #9. Repel ants:<\/strong> Ants don’t care for the scent of baby powder, so sprinkling a line around doors or windows will keep them from busting into your home. It works the same when having a picnic.<\/p>\n #10. Reduce waxing pain:<\/strong> Dust legs with baby powder before waxing. It creates a layer that helps protect against the burn.<\/p>\n #11. Face fix:<\/strong> Instead of paying for expensive finishing powder, dust a touch of baby powder over your face to set makeup.<\/p>\n #12. Stay fresh:<\/strong> Use baby powder instead of deodorant.
