3) Hem guide. When you are fresh out of tailor’s chalk, use a bar of soap to mark a new hem on your fashion masterpiece.
4) Remove a broken light bulb. If a bulb breaks will still screwed in, don’t chance nicks and cuts trying to remove it. First, turn off the power. Then insert the corner of a large, dry bar of soap into the socket. Give it a few turns and the base will unscrew.
