Cut a small slit in to the bottom of a clean bath sponge, then wedge a small piece of the soap bar inside the opening, run warm water and wash as usual.

- Pre-treat stubborn stains for pennies

Save the pieces until you have enough to fill a jar halfway, top off with warm water and wait until the soap turns into jelly (3 minutes) before stirring.
Store the jar in the laundry room and massage a dollop onto stains prior to washing.
This homemade pretreatment will lift and suspend stain molecules so your clothes will come looking out new.
- Deter animals from eating your plants.
Scatter soap slivers on and around the plants your animal invaders nibble on the most.
One whiff will trick their sensitive noses into thinking people are nearby, and they’ll be gone
- Sticky zipper
If you have a sticky zipper here is what you can do to make the zipper work better.
A bar of soap can do wonders with a sticky zipper.
If you can get the zipper to close then you can take the bar of soap and just rub it up and down on the zipper.
It helps if yon can rub the bar of soap on both sides of the zipper. After you have rubbed the zipper down with the soap then try to open and close the zipper several times.
You should feel that the zipper is working better but if it isn't you can repeat the process until the zipper works right.
The soap lubricates the zipper so it can move freely.

5 things your mobilephone can do you probably didn't know it could
5 things your mobilephone can do you probably didn't know it could
5 THINGS YOU PROBABLY NEVER KNEW YOUR MOBILE PHONE COULD DO..
There are a few things that can be done in times of grave emergencies. . Your mobile phone can actually be a life saver or an emergency tool for survival. Check out the things that you can do with it:
FIRST: Emergency
The Emergency Number worldwide for Mobile is 112.
If you find yourself out of the coverage area of your mobile; network and there is an emergency,
dial 112 and the mobile will search any existing network to establish the emergency number for you, and interestingly this number 112 can be dialled even if the keypad is locked. Try it out...
SECOND: Have you locked your keys in the car?
Does your car have remote keyless entry? This may come in handy someday.
Good reason to own a cell phone: If you lock your keys in the car and the spare keys are at home, call someone at home on their mobile phone from your cell phone.
Hold your cell phone about a foot from your car door and have the person at your home press the unlock button, holding it near the mobile phone on their end. Your car will unlock.
Saves someone from having to drive your keys to you.
Distance is no object. You could be hundreds of miles away, and if you can reach someone who has the other ' remote ' for your car, you can unlock the doors (or the trunk)...
THIRD: Hidden Battery Power
Imagine your mobile battery is very low. To activate, press the keys *3370#
Your mobile will restart with this reserve and the instrument will show a 50% increase in battery.

FIFTH : ATM - PIN Number Reversal - Good to Know
If you should ever be forced by a robber to withdraw money from an ATM machine, you can
notify the police by entering your PIN # in reverse. For example, if your pin number is 1234,
then you would put in 4321.
I'm a paragraph. Click once The ATM system recognizes that your PIN number is backwards from the ATM card you placed in the machine. The machine will still give you the money you requested, but unknown to the robber, the police will be immediately dispatched to the location.
