How To Recycle Used Oil Today is the feast of Saint Vincent Ferrer and as I have said yesterday, I will recycle used oil and use it as a lamp oil. But aside from using it as a lamp oil, there are more creative uses for used cooking oil we never knew about. There are 15 different ways to recycle used oils from mahoneyes. com that we can follow to help protect our environment. 1. Household lubricant: It is an effective lubricant that can be used for hinges and locks. It also helps prevent rust on metal surfaces and tools. 2. Key lock lubricant: If the key sticks in locks, spreading some cooking oil on key will prevent if from sticking. 3. Lamp oil: I tried this one time before when brownout happened and when we ran out of kerosene and phone batteries. 4. Furniture polish and conditioner: A mixture that is equal parts used cooking oil and vinegar can be used to polish wood furniture that looks dull or scratched. 5. Leather preservative: It can be used to soften and preserve leather furniture. 6. Rattan and wicker furniture protector: Rubbing some used cooking oil with a soft cloth onto the surface of rattan and wicker furniture will help keep it protected from cracks. 7. Removing paint from your hands: You can remove paint from your hands by rubbing some used oil on your hands and let it sit for 5 minutes. 8. Soap making: Lye soaps can be made using cooking oils. Instructions how to make lye soap are available online or in books if you're interested. 9. Hair moisturizer: I tried fresh coconut milk and virgin coconut oil before as hair moisturizer, but never thought other used oil can be used also as conditioner and moisturizer. Just heat up half a cup oil and massage into your hair. Shampoo and rinse hair to remove the oil. 10. Pot and pan protector: Wash new pots and pans before using and rub some used oil on the surface to keep them protected. 11. Non-stick gardening tools: Coating tools with used cooking oil will prevent grass and dirt from sticking to them. 12. Car cleaner: Put a little bit of cooking oil on a rag or paper towel and wipe the affected areas of your car. It can removed dirt, grime, pollen, bugs and other gunk. 13. Composting: Small amount of used oil to compost pile will feed the worms that help with the composting process. Make sure to only use vegetable oil for animal-based oil will attract nuisance animals and cause pathogens to form. 14. Animal feed: You can drizzle some used oil on the food for your dog and cats to improve the taste and keep their coats shiny. You can also mix it in with the bird seed in bird feeder. 15. Biodiesel fuel: Used cooking oil can be used to produce biodiesel fuel once it has been processed. And this is what Airbus A380 used for their test flights. Kits on how to convert used oil into biodiesel fuel are available, but it is best done by professionals. There are so many creative and effective uses for used cooking oils in our home. But, the one thing that you should never do with used oil is to dispose it in the trash or in drains. And just like in many occasions like fiestas, it is important to know the best oil or food as fuel or lubricant that you can put inside your body. Instead of eating more sweets and meats that can slow digestion, try eating the healthier ones to avoid problems in the body and in the environment. Blessed weekend!
