Heavy Duty Hand/Shower/mess cleaner

I'm not sure if anyone knows this or not but a really really good product to clean your hands AND your big messes with is Barbasol Shave Cream! This is especially good on your hands when they are covered with Tree Sap from cutting down Christmas trees! I learned this from an old neighbor of mine (back in the day)..the shave cream is nothing more than concentrated soap and works amazingly on fresh clothes stains, sticky messes, and yucky showers. Of course with the shower, you might need a nice soft brush to really work it in but it's pretty good stuff i tell ya! ..and cheap at the dollar stores too! (and it goes A LONG WAY!)

My DH's grandmother told me that this is also good for taking stains out of car seats and upholstery!

Wow - great tip. We have other shave cream not barbasol - I will have to try it.

I used to use Barbasol to keep my kids occupied for a while when they were little and said "I'm bored"

Seat the kiddies at the kitchen table, squirt a gob of barbasol (or any cheap kind) on the table in front of them, and let them play 'finger paint'. (make designs in the foam on the table). Then when you wash it off of them, their little grubby hands are clean! Rub it around, then wipe off the table, and the table shines!
