For one, you can polish patent leather shoes by rubbing them with a cloth dipped in a little milk. Just dry and buff to get the perfect shine.
You can also remove ink stains from clothing by soaking the area in milk. Depending on the stain, it can take up to 24 hours to remove completely, so be patient.
Milk can also repair fine cracks in china. Just place a plate or cup in a pan, fill it with milk and bring to a boil. Simmer it for 45 minutes and watch those cracks disappear.
So, before you waste money on pricey shoe polish, dry cleaning or new tableware, think about opening the fridge. Using milk instead of specialty products will help the savings add up.
