They say you can't take it with you.

You may recall from a previous post that I have an OVER-abundance of shampoo. I am addicted to "buying" it- simply because I get it for FA-REE.
I have all different types and brands of shampoo. From .77 a bottle to $9.99 a bottle. Oily hair, dry hair, red hair, blonde hair. I could open a health and beauty store in my bathroom, if I was so inclined.
In fact, if this blogging gig doesn't work out for me, I just might.
Well, having more shampoo than I could use in a lifetime left me with the dilemma of what to do with it. Over the years I have devised ways to put shampoo to use. Besides washing my hair, look what I have come up with!
Until we meet again,

- My mom taught me this one- if you have a zipper that won't budge, put a little drop of shampoo on a Q-tip and run it up and down the zipper. The shampoo lubricates the zipper teeth, and the zipper will unstick!
- Wash your car! Shampoo is cheaper than car wash, and was MADE to remove grease! The kids will LOVE it! Make car washing a family activity- we do! Pick a nice sunny day, and use 1/4 cup of shampoo, fill the bucket with water and wash away! Make sure to 'accidentally' spray your kids with the hose! (Note: My husband, in his never-ending quest for corner cutting, schedules family car wash approximately two hours before bedtime- he figures if he covers the kids with shampoo and hoses them down; bath time is complete for the day!)
- Bring your leather shoes and purses back to life by rubbing a little bit of shampoo on worn areas, and then buffing it off with a clean washcloth!
- A washcloth dipped in hot sudsy shampoo water and wrung almost dry is the perfect way to clean dust off your live and not-so-alive houseplants.
- Ok, so my daughter chews gum. My son finds it once she discards it. Three months ago, he put it in his hair. Last week, he put in Mr. FluffyTail's fur. Guess what? Shampoo took it out! (My husband wanted to shave the cat, I wouldn't let him!) Just put some shampoo on the gum, and gently pull it off the fur. Then rinse, repeat, and follow with your favorite styling gel!
- My Husband uses shampoo instead of WD-40. (He also uses scotch tape instead of glue and nails, so don't quote me on this use!) He swears shampoo will lubricate nuts and bolts and stop creaking doors just as well as the WD.
- Johnson and Johnson No More Tears baby shampoo is THE best eye make-up remover there is. No comparison. A drop on a cotton ball and your make-up will be gone- without your eyes watering!
- This one I learned by accident. My daughter HATES taking Band-Aids off- we usually have to sneak in and remove them while she is sleeping. Once she had a Care Bear Band-Aid on her forehead following a scrape. She wouldn't let me take it off. While in the bath, the shampoo ran down her face, and the Band-Aid SLID off! So now I use a drop of shampoo, rub the Band-Aid, and they slide off every time
- Instead of buying bubble bath for my kids, I squirt kids shampoo under the running faucet. Not only does it make HUGE foamy bubbles, it CLEANS the tub when I rinse it out!
- If you are like me, you have hairspray on your mirror, door, door knobs, and wall behind where you stand to spray it on! Guess what?? Shampoo was MADE to remove hair products!! A little shampoo on a wet sponge and the hairspray film will be gone!
- I no longer buy detergent marketed for my unmentionables. A drop or two of shampoo works just as well!
- Shampoo can be used instead of shaving cream- it will not dry like soap ( I sound like a commercial) and it will NOT clog your razor!
