Baby oil is not only useful for your little one but also has a multitude of other purposes. We suggest 10 unconventional yet brilliant uses for baby oil that you may not have thought of.
1. Mosquito Repellent
Apply a small amount of baby oil to keep mosquitoes at bay.
The main ingredient in baby oils is mineral oil, which has a strong scent. Just apply a small amount to your skin and gently massage it in, and mosquitoes will stay away.
2. Fix a Stuck Zipper
Use baby oil as a lubricant to fix a stuck zipper.
In a hurry, you may have accidentally jammed the zipper on your pants or bag. Don’t worry; baby oil can help you fix it without causing any damage. Simply apply a small amount of baby oil to the stuck zipper, gently tug it, and then pull the zipper in the correct direction.
3. Remove Tight Rings
Baby oil can help you remove tight rings easily.
If you need to remove a ring from your finger but find it stuck due to swelling or being caught on your skin, apply some baby oil to your finger and gently twist the ring off. It will come right off.
4. Remove Stickers and Labels
Baby oil helps remove stickers and labels without damaging surfaces.
When you buy something online or from a shop, you may want to remove the stickers or labels without affecting the aesthetics of the item. Apply a small amount of baby oil to the sticker and gently peel it off.
5. Makeup Remover
Baby oil can be used as a gentle and effective makeup remover.
For stubborn eye makeup, apply a small amount of baby oil to a cotton pad, hold it over your eye for a moment, and then gently wipe away. Not only will your eye makeup be removed, but the delicate skin around your eyes will also feel soft and smooth. Always be gentle when removing makeup from this sensitive area.
6. Remove Chewing Gum from Hair
Baby oil can help remove chewing gum from hair without causing frustration.
Kids can be mischievous, and if they get chewing gum in their hair, it can be a real headache. Before you get upset, apply some baby oil to the affected area, rub it in, and gently work the gum out of the hair.
7. Remove Adhesive Bandages Painlessly
Remove adhesive bandages without pain or discomfort.
Adhesive bandages can sometimes stick too well and be painful to remove. To avoid this, apply baby oil to a cotton ball, soak the bandage, and then gently peel it off. The oil will have softened the adhesive, making the process pain-free.
8. Clean Shower Curtain Mold
Use baby oil to easily remove mold from your shower curtain.
Shower curtains can develop mold over time due to moisture. To clean it, apply some baby oil to a paper towel and scrub the curtain. The mold will be gone in no time.
9. Clean Stainless Steel
Household appliances like faucets, refrigerators, sinks, and microwaves can become dusty and stained over time, making them look old and reducing their lifespan.
Baby oil can be used to clean and polish stainless steel surfaces.
To clean stainless steel, first wipe down the surfaces with a damp cloth to remove dust and dirt, then apply baby oil to a cloth and rub it into the surface. Finally, give it a last wipe to reveal a clean and shiny finish.
10. Clean Grease from Surfaces
Baby oil can also help remove grease from microwaves and other kitchen appliances, like range hoods. Simply soak a small amount of baby oil into a paper towel and wipe down greasy surfaces.
Baby oil can effectively remove grease and grime from surfaces.
However, to ensure that surfaces don’t attract dust or pet hair, dilute the baby oil with one part oil to two parts water, add a small amount of vinegar, spray it onto the surface, and then wipe it clean with a damp cloth.
