CORN STARCH & BABY POWDER USES
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.also to keep your feet from sweating in high heels,,
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.)and add to the bottom of the litter box for a fresher smell...
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.
Under bra to keep from chaffing from moisture (perspiration)
Hands if you have sweaty palms just dust your hands with powder
Older Wood floors to keep from squeakings pour alittle between cracks
sweep the rest around into spaces.
You can also use it as a dry shampoo. Sprinkle in, brush out. Then there's no need to wash your hair everyday.
If you have musty smelling books, you can stick the book into a suitably sized ziplock bag and generously add some baby powder. Shake the bag a little, then set it aside for a few days. When you finally remove the book, it is easy enough to brush off the powder.
