Lightbulb Multi use products?

I say just about everyone of use does this and don't really think about it. I was just wondering what thinks to you use for something other than what they were meant to be? For example I love dryer sheets. I put them everywhere bottom of trash can, in shoes I hardly wear, trunk of the car. It just makes those places smell a little nicer and keeps them fresh. My husband uses coffee cans. He says you can never have to many coffee cans. I throw some away when he's not looking. So shhhh don't tell him and that will be our dirty little secert.
So what do you use for other things?

Soap is soap to me if I don't have the right kind. I can wash my hands in shampoo. Right now, because I developed skin yeast from being on antibiotics most of December, I'm bathing in baby shampoo. Makes a great body wash.

Used dryer sheets can go on a swiffer. I rarely use dryer sheets though.

epsom salts in the bath help immensely with this. ask your doc about diflucane too.

I fight yeast all the time because of my diabetes. I have found that using antibacterial soap(such as dial, etc) it keeps my skin clean and clear.

Thanks Ladies.

tdrshopping, I'm on diflucane. 4 of them, 1 every 3 days. I have one left.

kendon11, I'm diabetic also. I use to battle the yeast more, but it's been years. They think all the antibiotics in Dec stirred things up.

whenever i am put on antibiotics i request the diflucane because the 2 go hand-in-hand. I stockpile the stuff because an outbreak for me is sooo miserable.
