Got a grease stain on clothing or furniture? Don’t panic! Cornstarch is a natural solution for absorbing oil and preserving your textiles. Sprinkle it generously on the stain, let it sit for about ten minutes, then gently brush or vacuum up the excess. This trick also works on recent stains on carpets or fabric sofas.

Homemade Dry Shampoo for Fresh Hair
No dry shampoo on hand? Cornstarch can help by absorbing excess oil from the roots of your hair. Sprinkle a small amount on your scalp, massage lightly, then brush to remove the excess. The result: visibly cleaner hair, without chemicals!

A Natural Dusting Cloth
Looking for an eco-friendly way to capture dust without using chemical sprays? Soak a clean cloth with a mixture of water and cornstarch (one tablespoon to one glass of water). Once dry, this cloth will become a real dust collector, perfect for maintaining your wooden furniture without leaving any marks.

Homemade play dough for children

For a fun and economical activity, why not turn your cornstarch into natural modeling clay? Mix 100g of cornstarch with 100g of fine salt, then gradually add warm water until you have a malleable dough. Children will love molding their creations, and you’ll avoid using preservative-laden industrial doughs.
