Strange But Handy Things to Do With Bread

By Dave Manner

Bread is not just for toast or sandwiches anymore. There are some awesome things that you can accomplish with a couple slices of bread, or even just one. Here are some strange, but useful, examples.

If you have kids, you probably have greasy, dirty hand prints everywhere, especially on your walls. Walls aren't the easiest things to clean, though. That is, unless you have bread. Just rub a slice on your wallpaper, or your painted wall and watch the magic happen. Remember to cut off the crust, first, though, just to be sure that you won't scratch the paint.

Another great thing to do with bread is to use it to treat sore feet. If you have a corn or callus, why suffer? Just dip a piece of bread in a bowl of vinegar. Then, wrap it around your foot while you sleep at night. It might seem crazy, but it works. You can attach it to your foot with tape or put it in a plastic bag and hold that on your foot with rubber bands.

Finally, another great way to use bread to help you around the house is if you have an accident that involves shattered glass. Start by picking up all of the biggest pieces by hand, carefully. It's the tiny pieces that we want bread to deal with. Just press a piece of bread against the floor in the area. It'll pick up all the shards. Be careful while you're doing it, though. Also, make sure to throw the bread away immediately after, so nobody mistakes it for sandwich bread.
