Many things that we've got lying around the house have a lot to offer, more than we give them credit for. In fact, the more we come to learn about their uses, the more we realize that there is no one specific function for household items.
Take WD-40, for instance. While it is usually used to grease an old hinge, this spray makes for a fast and easy solution for many other common problems too (for example, it can be used to restore the color of your old plastic furniture).
Below are some of Ba-bamail's best list of tips and alternative uses for things you've got lying around your house.
Hover over the different pictures, then click on the pop-up image to learn more about each item and their alternative uses.
