Clever household tricks with baby oil

Untangling chains

It's always worth having a little baby oil to hand - because it helps us with many things, for example when chains have become knotted. With a little oil, the tangle is quickly untangled.

Polishing smooth leather

Put some baby oil on a microfiber cloth and use it to make shoes or handbags shine again.

Lubricate hinges

If doors squeak or need rust protection, it doesn't have to be the expensive specialty products from the DIY store. Just a few drops of baby oil on the hinges are enough.

Cleaning the sink

A rubdown with baby oil protects our sink and taps from water and limescale stains. Also applies to stainless steel fittings in the bathroom.

As a wood polish

Baby oil is also suitable as a wood polish. Just like any other oil, it helps dull wooden surfaces to shine again. Simply rub a small amount of oil onto the tabletop with a cloth.
