I’m by now, we all know the many and various ways we can use baking soda outside of the kitchen, beyond just cooking and cleaning. There’s also those many uses for lemons, such as: using a lemon to freshen up a slimy, stinky garbage disposal; or to remove the limescale from your faucet; or using lemons to exfoliate your feet or elbows; or even using lemon juice to repel both weeds from growing and cats from peeing in a particular spot.
Let’s face it, there are myriad of ways to use many different everyday, household products other than the ways you may have originally thought.
More and more it is important that we focus on conserving our resources. In light of this being Earth Day and with our minds set on reusing and recycling, be sure to check out AltUse.com. The founders of AltUse.com believe that a “radical overhaul in product usage is of extreme importance.”
The goal of AltUse.com is to tap into the collective intellectual capital of the world to provide a solution to this pressing issue. AltUse.com will facilitate sharing of alternative use information to help consumers save money, minimize waste and maximize product value. We seek to be a catalyst for changing the way companies manufacture and market consumer goods by challenging the notion that products should be created for one specific purpose. Our proprietary ranking system accelerates access to the data.
So take a moment and poke around and see what you might be able to reuse or recycle in your home. I know I’ll be reusing my leftover coffee grounds to make my own body scrub – mix leftover cooled grounds with a little brown sugar (4:1) and about a tablespoon of oil. The caffeine not only helps to revive the skin and break down cellulite (or so I’ve heard), but it also smells delicious.
Just a quick note to thank you for acknowledging our value proposition and vision at AltUse.com. We aspire to affect change and to create a new lens through which people view the problems of waste and product utility. MIke
