[thrive_text_block color=”note” headline=”Have You Ever Wondered Where Vaseline Came From or What it Really Is?”] [/thrive_text_block]What Is Vaseline? In 1859, Robert Chesebrough happened to be in the oil fields of Titusville, Pennsylvania. There, he acquired knowledge about “rod wax”, which is a kind of an oily residue.

There, he extracted petroleum jelly from the rod wax and began selling it as Vaseline.

④ Make your Leather Shoe Shine
Get your old, scuffed up, leather shoes. Use a cotton swab to get some Vaseline and rub it on the shoe scuff.
⑤ Tidy Paint Jobs
Avoid staining surfaces when you paint something around the house. Cover surfaces you don’t want paint on with Vaseline before you start.
⑥ Smudge-less Nail Painting
Apply a bit of Vaseline to your cuticles with a cotton swab to keep your nail polish from sticking to the skin on the sides of your nails.
⑦ Eliminate Makeup Stains from Fabrics
Just put a small amount of Vaseline on a damp cloth. With it, rub away the stains on your sheets and clothes.
⑧ Make that Squeaking Stop
If you have door hinges that make too many squeaky noises, remove the door hinge and apply a light coat of Vaseline to it.

Apply a coat of Vaseline to your skin before you go out to prevent bug bites.
⑩ Remove Water Stains from Any Wooden Surface
If you notice a water ring on your wood table, apply some Vaseline to it and let it sit overnight. Wipe it off the following day. You will find the water ring is gone.
⑪ Make Your Cologne Last Longer
If you notice that your cologne does not last that long, apply some Vaseline to your skin first. Then spray on your scent. This allows your fragrance to last the entire day.
⑫ Beautify your Hair
If your hair is suffering from split ends, frizziness, and fly-aways, apply some Vaseline to it. Vaseline also protects your hair from damage.
