Ever wonder what else you can use petroleum jelly for? Here are five uses:
Protect your Pet - If your cat's or dog's paw pads are cracked and dry, rub a little petroleum jelly on them to soothe the discomfort.
Wipe away Water Marks - Dap with petroleum jelly and let sit for 24 hours. Wipe off the excess and polish furniture as usual.
Loosen up Outdoor Lightbulbs - Dirt and dust can cause outdoor bulbs to stick. Rub a little petroleum jelly on the threads of the bulb before you screw it in and it won't stick in the future.
Sideline a Squirrel - Coat the pole of a bird feeder - squirrels won't be able to get at the food.
Neaten Your Nail Job - Dab it on the skin around nails before polishing. If you make a mistake, the polish will easily wipe away.
