Peanut Butter?!?! – Suggestions & Tips #110

July 10, 2015 by Grassroots Leave a Comment

Sure, duck tape is pretty standard fair around the house, but who would have thought it would be peanut butter to the rescue! Skippy would be so proud 🙂

There are plenty of useful all-natural homemade cleaners like vinegar, baking soda, lemon juice & cornstarch. Now, as luck would have it, various companies make PB jars that come in differing sizes & materials. So, it’s no surprise that we’d see in our inspection travels how it’s been used (er, we mean incorrectly) for capping off drain pipes and plugging up ductwork – and if they don’t quite fit, heck we’re pretty sure it can lubricate too!

Our recommendation – keep the peanut butter in the kitchen & place the jars in the recycle bin when empty 🙂
