Old Credit Cards for Cleaning

I use an old credit card to clean the algae off of the front of the aquarium. Also, I took a watercolor class where the instructor used an old credit card like a squeegee to move paint around.

I use mine to scrape a light coating of ice from my car's windshield.

I use mine to scrape the grid after cooking on my corning stove top. First I put Soft Soap and then I scrape it off with an old credit card.

Also great by the kitchen sink : scrape residue off "no stick" pans with no scratching, my favorite for cast iron, and dinner plates, etc.

Tip: Old Credit Cards for Cleaning

Don't throw away your outdated credit card. I use it to clean my kitchen counter, especially after making some thing like pie crust. The dough sticks to the counter top and if you take the side of the credit card it really removes any hardened dough (or anything else) very easily.
