This Hack Keeps Your Pets from Chewing Your Furniture
As it turns out, pets don't like the taste of soap.
For this week’s tips, Greg and Audra show us how a bar of soap keeps your pets from chewing up your furniture, fixes a squeaky door, loosens a lock and gets that ring off after you’ve eaten all those friend pickles.
As it turns out, pets who chew or gnaw don’t like the taste of soap. So to prevent them from chewing up the bottom of your new couch, rub the edges and legs with dry bar soap. They’ll get annoyed and move on to something else. Stop a squeaky hinge. Moisten a bar of soap, wedge it between the doorframe hinge. Move the door back and forth. You can also rub dry soap directly onto the hinge. For locks that are stiff or tend to stick, rub your key on a bar of dry soap, and then unlock/relock it a few times until it’s opening smoothly. And this will come in handy the next time you eat too much salt. Or your sweetheart does. To remove a ring that’s stuck on someone’s finger, rub as much of the ring (and the skin around it) with a dry bar of soap, and then have them wash their hands.
