9 more things you can use coconut oil for

Coconut oil is one of the most versatile natural skincare products: you can apply unrefined, cold pressed Manna Organic Virgin Coconut Oil on your skin or as a pack on your hair and it's a great way of treating nail beds or applied on a cotton pad to remove eye shadow and with the addition of fine grain sugar, you can use it to prepare a scrub or even use it as a replacement for shaving soap.

Perhaps you know even less about using it in your home and kitchen, from furniture care to baking biscuits.

So let's see what coconut oil is good for:

1. you can use it in your coffee instead of sugar
2. for baking purposes you can use an equal amount of it to replace butter
3. for removing soap-deposits from the tub without chemicals: instead of using a detergent, wipe the surface of the tub with some coconut oil on a sponge
4. you can use it to prevent food containers from discolouring: apply a thin layer on the inside of the box and this way, paprika or tomato-based sauces, gravies and soups won't leave any stains
5. it's great for preserving eggs: apply a thin layer on the shells of raw eggs - this way you can keep them fresh for months
6. you can protect your knives from rust by rubbing some coconut oil on rarely used knives
7. to remove mould, mix one part coconut oil with one part baking soda and use the mixture to rub mould off of furniture
8. it's also great for removing sticky stains: chewing gum or labels can be easily removed by rubbing some coconut oil on the sticky surface
9. for leather or wall surfaces: not only does coconut oil lend a nice shine, it is absorbed and nourishes your furniture and belongings from the inside.
