The Many Uses Of Tennis Ball(s):
- Use them to remove scuffs on floors. Many janitors use this trick by placing a tennis ball on the end of a broom so it’s always handy.
- Cut an X in the top of each ball and put them on the bottoms of chair legs to cut down on noise and floor scuffs.
- Keep certain types of gnats or flies away from you when you are outdoors. Just cover a tennis ball in Vaseline and hang it from a tree or bush.
- Cut one in half and use to open stubborn jars.
- Use as a cover for protecting your trailer hitch.
- Hang one up to use as batting practice.
- Use as arm weights by cutting slits into a couple of balls and filling them with sand or pennies.
- Fluff up laundry by throwing a couple into your clothes dryer.
- Tennis balls can also help any laundry load dry faster - just throw two or three in the dryer and your clothes will be done quicker.
- Speaking of laundry, put a tennis ball into your washing machine along with your shower curtain and 1/2 cup of vinegar, then wash with hot water. The vinegar will kill the mildew and the tennis ball will help to scrub the mildew off.
- Use on top of sharp garden stakes if you're an accident-prone gardener.
- Stick one on top of your car antenna to locate your vehicle quickly in a parking lot.
- Massage the bottom of your foot.
