Travel Tip of the Day

Five uses for hotel shampoo, besides washing your hair:

1. emergency in-the-sink underwear wash (cheap shampoo is the best for this!) or as a stain treatment

2. makeup remover: just be sure it’s a gentle shampoo if you’re removing eye makeup

3. shoe polish: dab a bit on leather shoes with a cloth and buff (don’t do this regularly—it may wear down the leather)

4. shaving cream: it’s less drying and sudsier than soap; conditioner works well, too

5. unclog a toilet: dump into the bowl, wait five minutes and flush
