12 Weird But Helpful Things Cornstarch Can Do
Cornstarch is great in the kitchen, but you may not know that there are a slew of uses for cornstarch around the house.
Let’s look at 12 such uses:
1. Window cleaner.
Cornstarch is naturally abrasive and granular, so you can add a tablespoon of it to any window cleaner. It will make cleaning your windows much easier and leave them streak-free.
2. Remove grease stains.
If you have grease stains on the carpet you can get rid of them by throwing some cornstarch on the floor and letting it sit for about 20-30 minutes. The cornstarch will absorb the grease, and then you can vacuum up the powder for a fresh carpet.
3. Soothe sunburns and bug bites.
A paste made of cornstarch and water will help soothe sunburns and bug bites.

Apply this paste over the affected area and let it dry. You can repeat this until the sunburn goes away.
4. Air freshener.
Cornstarch is naturally absorbent, so it also works well to remove bad smells from the air. Sprinkle it in shoes, let them sit overnight, and then shake the powder out in the morning.
