Trick 17: What shaving foam can do

When it's not being used for shaving, shaving foam can actually be used for other things. For example, it is a great stain remover for non-sensitive textiles.

Shaving foam can only remove hair? Not at all!

Removing paint: When painting and renovating, it's easy to get a few blobs of paint off as a helper. To remove them more easily, simply apply a little shaving foam to the area, rub it in and rinse it off.

Create a clear view: The mirror often fogs up after a shower or bath. To prevent this from happening again, apply enough shaving foam to the mirror and then wipe it off thoroughly with a piece of kitchen paper.

Prevent doors from squeaking: Spray some shaving foam on the hinge of the door and rub it in so that the foam gets into all corners. Rub away any residue with a cotton cloth or kitchen towel.
