COMMON BABY THINGS WITH UNCOMMON USES

COTTON

1.  Summer refresher. Dab cotton balls in your favorite cologne, seal in a plastic bag, and store in a freezer.  When you need a lift on a blistering summer day, remove one of the balls and dab your wrists and neck.

2.  Deodorizer. To eliminate a sour odor in your refrigerator, dampen a handful of cotton with vanilla extract and place it on the middle shelf.

3.  Air refreshner. Saturate a ball with cologne and place in the bag of your vacuum cleaner to sweeten the air.

4.  Stuffing. Use as filler for dolls, toys, pillows, and so forth.

5.  Glove extender. Push bits of cotton into the fingertips of rubber gloves so that your nail's don't poke through.
