Corn Oil: Not Just for Cooking

Here are some great around the house uses for corn oil.

  1. Help your cat with the problem of hair balls by adding a teaspoon of corn oil, to one of his or her meals, daily.
  2. Keep your cast iron skillets seasoned and rust free with corn oil. Heat some oil in a skillet, till the oil is hot a runs easily all over the skillet, move it around so that you cover the whole inside of the skillet. Remove from heat and wipe out with a paper towel, going over the whole inside of the skillet.
  3. To remove sticky tags on appliances, just rub some corn oil over the tag, let sit for a few minutes, then scrape the tag off.
  4. If you get a splinter, apply some oil to the wound. Leave it for a few minutes, then remove the splinter.
  5. Does Fido's coat look a little dull? To add some shine, add a teaspoon of corn oil to each meal.
  6. Tired of the decals, you put on your windows. Soak the decal with corn oil, let sit for a few minutes, then scrape the decal off.
  7. Instead of removing oil based paint from your hands and arms with turpentine, use corn oil instead.
  8. To remove paper that is stuck to a wood surface, soak it with corn oil, and let sit for a while. Return and carefully peel off the paper.
  9. Corn oil works as a great moisturizer for your skin. Massage the oil into your skin and leave for about fifteen minutes. Wipe off the excess oil, and then take a hot bath.
  10. For those of us who have to shovel snow, make it a little easier by coating the shovel with corn oil. This will keep the snow from sticking to the shovel.

Great ideas. Thanks, Jessica. I already add oil to my cat and dogs food. In fact, they patiently wait until I drizzle the oil on before they go to the dish. lol
