It comes in a clear jar and costs less than five dollars at your corner drug store. What do you use Vaseline for?
If you have ants, flies or any other pesky unwanted critters, spread a thin layer of Vaseline on windowsills and doorways. This will trap crawling insects without using harmful chemicals.
Looking to change up the living room with a new coat of paint? Use Vaseline as a substitute for painter’s tape. Also you can use it as a quick alternative to leather polish on scuffed shoes, handbags and leather furniture.
Annoyed by that squeaking or sticking door? Use a little bit of Vaseline to get it moving smoothly and quietly. During winter, Vaseline can also prevent locks from freezing. It will keep excess moisture out of the lock so it doesn’t turn into ice.
