There are many different uses for olive oil.
1. Open a door without the squeak, all you have to do is pour the olive oil on a cloth or paper towel swipe the hinges of the door.

2. Want a closer shave; try using olive oil instead of shaving cream. Not only does it allow you have a closer shave it fills in rough spots in the surface of your skin to make your skin look shiny. Always make sure to rinse after using.

3. Need a quick fix to remove yesterday’s makeup, just a few dabs and apply washcloth to rinse face.

4. Dry cuticles no more, put on the base of your nails and let the oil act as a moisturizer.

5. If you like to burn candles a lot try coating the candle holder with olive oil. When you burn the candle the wax will be easier to remove.

6. Do you have a favorite pair of jeans and the zipper constantly gets stuck, try using a very small amount by apply with a q-tip. That should do the trick.

7. Just like Grandmas…..of course last but not least Olive Oil is great for pre-seasoning your Range Kleen cast iron pieces.
