Pandas, What Household Item Do You Use Specifically Against The Recommended Directions?
Sometimes we use a product against the manufacturers recommendations like say, a q-tip (cotton buds). It states not to stick it in your ear canal, well I can only think of a couple things that feel better than sticking one in my ear canal after a shower. Tell us what you use in a manner not recommended by the manufacturer.

Sleeping with the hairdryer on under the sheets. It’s so warming, and the white noise just lulls me to sleep. Just kidding, I’m not an idiot.

I use a spoon as a buttering knife. Don't ask, just let me have my thing.

I use plastic cups as a speaker for my phone. I've been meaning to buy a Bluetooth speaker, but my cups are just easier to access.

Get a large cardboard tube and cut a slit down the middle of it big enough to stick your phone in. Simulated stereo!

My shampoo. Every bottle says “DO NOT GET IN EYES” or something and I always do. It’s so much fun! 💀

Using an old toothbrush to get the gunk off anything, especially around crevices. Grime around a faucet, caked on grease, dull jewelry, you name it. But the emphasis is on OLD here people. Don't recommend using your current toothbrush, unless you're into that sort of thing.

Q-Tips. I know you're not supposed to use them to clean your ears, but sometime it's necessary when ear wax builds up. I've never gotten a Q-Tip stuck and I don't go that far in. I'm not that careless.

This is what I have always done. Just curious, what are you supposed to do with it?

Not exactly dangerous, but I eat apple pie filling as a snack. Just grab a spoon and I eat it straight out of the can.

Using Bleach - neat. Sometimes it had to be done! On the floor where the cat has been … or the toilet…

Weird as it seems, I will use a fork to dig out ice cream from the container. Drives my husband nuts!

I like to use lemon juice to get nasty stickers off things or just as a general cleaning product. It's brilliant to get nastiness off console controllers or heatsinks or anything really.

I often stir my tea with a knife or fork.
I just grab the first obling piece of metal that comes along instead of looking for a spoon first...

Mouth irrigator. This is basically a miniature pressure washer you can use to clean stuff like your shaver etc.
