There comes a time in everyone’s life when injuries and illnesses don’t heal by themselves. The older you get, the more dependent you become on things like Vicks VapoRub. But did you know that Vicks can do a lot more than just clear a congested nose? Below, we’ll talk about 50+ life hacks you probably didn’t know you could do with Vicks VapoRub.

Replacing old padlocks is a pain. First, you have to go to the hardware store and spend your precious money on a new lock. Secondly, you have to make copies of the new key and hand them out to family members. Thirdly, it’s just plain annoying. If only there were a way to get rid of the rust on padlocks!
There is a way, and it all starts with a bit of Vick. What you have to do is put a generous blob of Vicks on the keyhole, then use the key to push the Vick inside. Twist the key back and forth until the Vicks has gotten rid of most of the rust.
