Another goodie form Grandparents
Almost
every kitchen has a bottle of this gold-green elixir that can dress a salad or
sauté vegetables, imparting heart-healthy fat in every teaspoon. But olive oil
(regular or light, save expensive extra-virgin for flavoring food) can also
help make dirty work a little easier:
Remove
paint:
Forget the harsh chemicals. To remove paint from your skin, just use olive oil
and a little granulated sugar or salt. The paint will come off and your skin
will be exfoliated and moisturized, too.
Take
it outside!:
Olive oil can help you do your yard work. Spritz it onto lawn mower blades in
the summer to help keep grass from sticking, and onto snow shovels in the
winter so that snow will slide off the shovel more easily. You can use it on
other garden tools like hoes and rakes, too.
Polish
leather shoes:
No need to use that nasty-smelling chemical stuff. A little olive oil and a
soft cloth will keep your shoes looking great.
Get
gum out of hair:
Apply the olive oil to the gum and the surrounding hair; work it through gently
and let it sit for a few minutes. Work a comb through the strands until the gum
is gone, then wash with shampoo.
