20 Households Uses for Panty Hose

Sandra Bacon
There are a lot of amazing things to do with panty hose besides wearing them, and here is a list of 20 ways to use them. Even though people have been saying a Danish woman by the name of Inger Nyborg Savoth invented panty hose, I believe what she invented were tights.

Panty hose as we know them here in America are sheer nylons and was invented by Allen Gant Sr. at his wife's insistence 1954. The only difference between these two inventions is them being either sheer or opaque, and since women in America consider sheer to be panty hose and opaque to be tights, I would have to go with Mr. Gant.

Here are your 20 amazing things to do with panty hose...

Use In Your Potted Plants
When you make your potted plants, why not put a piece of your panty hose in the bottom of the pot, and this will let water drain out without the soil.

Use On Your Back
If you ever need a back scrubber and don't have one, try your panty hose. Take one leg, put your soap in it and you can hold on to each end to rub the soap back and forth over your back.

Use On Your Car
When cleaning the bugs from your car, you can use your panty house with soap and water to wash the bugs away and it won't damage the car's finish.

Use On Your Dentures
Need to clean your dentures, just use a piece of your panty hose to get the job done.

Use As A Cleaning Tool
If you have to clean under your refrigerator, try using your panty hose tied over your broom. This gathers up all the dirt.

Use In Your Dryer
Your panty hose can be used as a lint catcher in your dryer, just put them in with your wet clothes.

Use It For Staining
If you need a substitute brush for applying stain or varnish, just use your panty hose. When you use them, they will do the same job as a sponge.

Use As A Bottle Cleaner
Sometimes bottles are very hard to clean. Just wrap your panty hose around your brush to insert into the bottle.

Use On Your Windows
Your panty hose make excellent window cleaners.

Use On Your Garbage Can
If you need a large elastic band to secure the garbage bag in your trash can, just cut the elastic top from your panty hose and use that around the rim.

Use On Your Floor
Just take one of your towels and put it into your panty hose and use this to buff and shine your wood floors.

Use With Moth Balls
Put your moth or cedar balls in one leg of your panty hose, tie them and hang it in your closet.

Use With Plaster
When you have finished plastering up a hole, you can use your panty hose to remove the excess.

Use With Paint
Sometimes paint you haven't used in a while gets lumps in it. If stirring doesn't remove them, use a leg of your panty hose to strain the paint.

Use With Your bulbs
If you need a dry place to store your planting bulbs, try putting them in one leg of your panty hose, then hang them in a dry place.

Use To Find A Contact Lens
Just secure a piece of your panty hose over the vacuum cleaner hose, then vacuum over the floor. This will suck your contact lens up without having it go into the vacuum.

Use With Tomato
You can use the nylon of your panty hose to secure your tomato vines to their stakes.

Use On Window Screens
Your panty hose makes a great cleaner for your screens. Just run a pair over the screen and it will remove the dust and dirt.
