Remove Sticky Residue

If your surfaces have sticky residue on them, from sticker backings, glue, or other adhesives, don’t fret! A little mineral oil will gently remove that adhesive without damaging the surface. Just rub the oil around the perimeters of the sticker (or band-aid, or temporary tattoo, or bubblegum), wait a few minutes, then peel off. Good as new!

Untangle Jewelry

To get a nasty snarl out of a delicate chain, try plunging the offending knot in baby oil. Instructables explains: “It’ll lubricate the metal links, allowing them to separate more easily. Use a pin to work out the tangled knot after the dunk in oil.” After the jewelry is untangled, be sure to clean it properly.
