Tip of the Day



Lipstick Stain Remoooooval

In 1930, a cow named Nellie became the very first bovine ever to fly in a plane. During the flight, she was milked to provide a new refreshment for the passengers, forever changing the age-old "coffee or tea" question. Milk has many other uses, too, like taking lipstick stains out of white cotton. We're not kidding... It really works! Here's our secret Carey Brothers formula for this really powerful moo-juice wonder: mix three equal parts of household laundry bleach, warm tap water, and milk. Put it in a spray bottle, spritz the stain, scrub it with an old toothbrush, and presto white-o? the lipstick is gone! Don't use this on anything but whites, though (it'll discolor dyed fabrics.) Soon we'll be finding other creative uses for milk.
