Hiding at the very back of most bathroom cupboards is a little tub of petroleum jelly that has been ignored for years. But who knew that it actually had so many great uses? I’ve compiled here 20 great tips for PJ and here they are!”¨”¨
1. Clean Hands. Slather a little petroleum jelly on your hands before you begin any chore. It will keep stains, paint, dirt and any grease from sticking to you. When you’re done, just wipe it off with a tissue or towel.”¨”¨
2. Shoe Shiner. Rub some petroleum jelly onto your old shoes, boots or purse to have them looking new and shiny again!ӬӬ
