We might see and walk past baby powder each time we go into a store thinking we do not need it, but you will be amazed by how you can use baby powder in so many ways. If you have a baby or not, you will want to have it in your house after you read this.

 

Using Baby Powder In Your Gloves

They have powder-free gloves and some with powder in it. Some of us hands are really moist and will need some powdered gloves to be able to put the gloves on without a struggle and tearing them apart.

 

If you don’t have the powdered version, simply sprinkle some baby powder in the glove and on your hands, and your hands will slide right in without a problem. This solved a major problem for me because I have a huge hand that sweats easily.

Summer can be hell if you do not have a central AC system in your house. The fans won’t help either because I’m talking from experience living on an island. What I use to do to try and help is to change my sheets often and use a nice cool material.

 

This made me had a lot of sheets to do when laundry day comes up, so I had to find a next method. I know there is some material that you can place on your bed to help with circulation to cool it down.

 

I know whenever I get baby powder on me, it instantly makes the area feel cool, so it must help if I place it under my sheets when I’m making the bed. To my surprise, it works amazingly, just sprinkle a good amount to cover the bed.

If you have something to put around them so they won’t crawl away, you can sprinkle some baby powder in that area to keep the ants away. You can use this method in any situation if you like. For example- you are going camping, you see ants crawling through an area in your house.
