  1. Remove Rust: It’s a great remedy for rust on household items. Apply a thin layer and let it sit for a few hours, then rinse with warm water.
  2. Get a Zipper Unstuck: You’re in a rush so you need to throw on some clothes and leave. But the stupid zipper on your jacket or jeans is stuck. Quick fix? Rub a little coconut oil on it and watch that baby glide!
  3. Gum Removal: Gum can seem impossible to remove from hair, carpet, shoes or anywhere else. Not with coconut oil. Use it to get rid of the gunk.
  4. Fix Squeaky Hinges: You can only deal with that squeaky door for so long before it drives you crazy. Instead of pulling it off its hinges, lubricate it with coconut oil for peace and quiet.
  5. Lubricate Kitchen Appliances: Keep all your small kitchen appliances—blenders, can openers, mixers, food processors and the like—operating optimally by rubbing a thin layer of oil on blades.
  6. Furniture Polish: It’s safe on wood and not toxic, unlike those polishes from the store. Rub a little on your furniture and watch it shine.
  7. Plant Shine: You’ve given your furniture a shine, now do the same for your indoor plants. Rub a small amount on plants’ leaves to give them shine and prevent dust buildup.
  8. Get Rid of Soap Scum: Does that hard-to-remove buildup on the sink and shower frustrate you? Apply some coconut oil to help scrub it away.
  9. Leather Shiner: Give those pumps, boots, or purses a fresh touch-up and shine by rubbing some of the oil on them.
  10. Leather Cleaner: And you thought you were just making those shoes look pretty. You just killed two birds with one stone: As you shine your leather, you’re also cleaning it.
  11. Remove a Ring:Sometimes a ring is hard to remove, especially if your fingers swell. Apply the oil to your hands and the ring, and it should come off easily.
  12. Coat Snow Shovels: Oh, the weather outside is frightful…but you still have to shovel. Apply the oil to the shovel to keep snow from sticking to it as you clear that driveway.

Wow! Is your head spinning? Why would you need anything else? Just fill every cupboard with coconut oil. OK, maybe not. But as you can see, the possibilities are limitless with this oil, so it’s best that you keep it well stocked.
