Tipful Tuesday - New Uses for Car Wax

Car Wax Shines, Protects, and Does a Whole Lot More - let's grab a lint-free cloth and get to work.

Whether in paste or liquid form, car wax is made to fill scratches and give a high shine to surfaces like glass and metal, while protecting them from smudges and stains. 

Keep appliances fingerprint-free - Apply a thin coat of car wax to stainless-steel fridges and stoves. Buff clean to resist fingerprints and smudges

Give faucets a shine - rub car wax onto kitchen and bathroom metal fixtures to keep them shiny and spot-free

Unstick hinges - Use car wax to lubricate the hinges of garden shears and scissors

Fix a skipping CD - apply a small dab of car wax to a scratched CD and buff it clean using short strokes along the length of the scratch, not across it. Rinse the CD with water, and let it air-dry before playing

Combat corrosion - Apply a thin coat of car wax to brass door knockers, mailboxes, and other outdoor fixtures to keep them from tarnishing

Fight mildew - After using your regular cleanser, apply a layer of car wax to the inside and outside of a shower door and buff off with a dry cloth to stave off mildew growth

Make drawers and windows easier to open - Rub a small dab of car wax onto the tracks of drawers and windows so they'll slide more smoothly

Prevent bumper-sticker residue - Before placing a sticker on your car's bumper, rub a tiny bit of car wax onto the area the sticker will cover. Later, it will peel off easily—no gummy mess to scrape off

Keep snow from sticking - Shoveling is hard enough when snow is heavy and damp. Apply two thick coats of car wax to the head of a shovel (or to the inside of your snowblower's chute) to prevent the white stuff from sticking

Make a mirror fog-free - Rub a thin layer of car wax onto a bathroom mirror and buff it clean. Next time you step out of the shower, you'll be able to see your reflection without having to wipe away condensation first

I have used a few of these before and they really do work.  I hope you find some helpful tips to ease your 'workload' of household chores.  J

Linking to these fabulous parties!


I hope you are all having a wonderful week!
