That you use to clean things/use for other purposes than that intened.
1) Peanut butter! Works great on sticker residue (hadn't tryed it on left over sticky from pump sites)
2)Tooth paste! We use this to shine up our sliver on our saddles and ponies harness. Great abrasive for making things shiney!
3) Duct tape I'm sorry greatest thing ever created!!!
4) 3M vet wrap! Great for taping down sites, Works just as good as duct tape only easier on skin! Waterproof and holds great!

My husband swear by WD40. I use it to get road tar off my white car.
One of my favorite movies is My Big Fat Greek Wedding. Does Windex really work like that?

Lysol lemon scent in my carpet cleaner. I like the green apple better but can't find it anymore.
Scrubbing bubbles (generic brand) gets 99% of anything off. Works great on floors
GoJo in my DH's laundry (mechanic and gets really greasey) it also gets the gas smell out that or coca cola.

Or permanent marker can be removed off most stuff (even a lot of clothing types) with a lot of hairspray, best if it's spray, not spritz.

The only thing I have of the previously mentioned is Peanut Butter, and permanent markers!
I use Shaklee H2 for everything from floors, to dishes, to bathrooms, to carpets, for car wash, washing clothes, insect bites, etc, you name it, most "likely" it'll work!

How about toothbrushes - they're great for cleaning round taps.

I'll go with toothbrush too. Great for cleaning the little pieces in the aquarium filter.
Also, I always have a stash of razor blades even though I use electric and disposables. Last time I used them were on my aquarium, my algea eater died and it took a couple of weeks to replace him. By then a small film of green algea formed and got progressively worst because it was stuck on and the new guy couldn't suck it off well. After a year, DW was going to throw it out, I was like heck! So I did a search and somebody mentioned razor blades... HEY, I HAVE THOSE!!! Worked like a charm!
Look how clear it is now!

Vinegar and baking soda work great for cleaners around the house (cleaning windows, counter tops etc) and cost way less than some of the other cleaners on the market.
I also love scented candles to make the house smell great!

When I was in college, we were to cheap to go buy spackle at the end of the year to fill in holes from push pins, so we used Crest toothpaste:D
