8. Blast Away Bathroom Soap Scum
Why It Works: Aspirin’s mild acidity cuts through mineral buildup on tiles and glass.
How to Do It:
Crush 4–5 aspirin tablets and mix with a small amount of liquid dish detergent and water to form a gel.
Apply to soap scum, wait 15–30 minutes, then wipe and rinse well.
Pro Tip: Wear gloves and ventilate the area. Avoid mixing with bleach or other cleaners. 
9. Restore Shine to Dull Hair
Why It Works: A diluted aspirin rinse removes residue that dulls hair, leaving it glossy and vibrant.
How to Do It:
Dissolve 5–8 crushed aspirin tablets in 1 cup (240 ml) warm water.
Pour through hair after shampooing, wait 3–5 minutes, rinse thoroughly, and condition ends.
Use every 1–2 weeks.
Pro Tip: Avoid if your scalp is irritated or if you color-treat often—test a strand first. 
10. Extend the Life of Cut Flowers
