        This I've not heard before :shock: . But I do use rubber bands to tie up the closet so that my kids can't access the junk food. Helps to remove ants from the table top too.

                      Hi,


                      Have been taught to remove oil stains by dabbing baby powder on the stain first b4 washing.

                      Happy washing. :lol:

                      why baby powder :?

                      Guess you can use other talcum powder too but we only have baby powder at home. šŸ˜„
