Get rid of pesky sticker gunk. Coat affected area with mayo and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Wipe away and — voila! — the gunk is gone.
Clean crayon marks. Encouraging children to be creative is great, but when they take their creativity to surfaces other than paper, you are left cleaning up a mess. Dab some mayo on the crayon marks, let it sit for about 10 minutes, and wipe away.
Shine plants. Those leaves are looking a little drab, aren’t they?! Shine them up by using a dry rag with a dab of mayo on it.
Polish piano keys. Have your piano keys lost a little luster? Dab some mayo on them, let them sit for a few minutes, and wipe away.
Restore wooden furniture. Watermarks on wood are no fun. Place some mayo on the affected area, let it rest for about 10 minutes, and wipe off. You may need to do a little (gentle!) buffing.

+ add your ownI have used it to replace some of the butter in recipes.
Can mayo be used on hair ?
I didn't know it could be used as an egg substitute in baking. And in all my years of lice checks through my 7 kids, I never thought of using mayo to suffocate lice...lol. Life is a learning experience.
with a 2 yr old it is always nice to find ways to use things i keep around the house (especially for cleaning!) thanks!
Thanx, for all these wonderful ideas
My aunt used mayo in her cakes. They were the moistest cakes I ever ate.
Thanks!
Wow ! I have only used mayo for salads and sandwiches.
haha who'd have thought mayo was used other than eating!
love the tips! i use vegenaise, however. i wonder if it would work just as well? it's base is canola oil so i don't see why not.
