AltUse

I am a total sucker for personal blogs, do-it-yourself blogs, and any sort of creative/design/architectural blog. I recently stumbled across Altuse.com, a website that takes everyday products and household items, and asks people to respond with alternative uses for seemingly normal items. I never knew that tinfoil could not only sharpen knives and defer insects when applied to outdoor surfaces! The site merges the creative and practical together while throwing in a little sustainability. Who knew a lemon could serve as a hangover cure, bad breath eliminator, foot soaker, and natural stain remover, sore throat reliever, and pore shrinker?

Other household items Altuse includes: olive oil, vinegar, coffee filters, tea tins, vodka, newspaper, ice , and many more (some are not as obvious as you think!)
