Put some baby oil on their hands
Then just wipe off with a clothe!

Dow Bathroom Cleaner will get most stains out of a carpet. Just apply liberally, and let set for an hour or so, then wipe/sponge up with a damp cloth. Try not to RUB it, as that will generally just spread a stain. Press on it hard and reapply if necessary.
This won't work on permanent marker, paint, motor oil, or pet urine, though.

2 ideas;
1.) baby wipes clean stains on carpet
2.) sprinkle your hands with baby powder before you go to the beach, sand come off very easy

The TipNut website is a great source for all kinds of hints. Easy ones, old ones, organic ones, etc. TipNut.com (http://www.tipnut.com) Not that I am advertising for them, just sharing a resource.

If you don't have any drain clog remover you can use iodized salt, baking soda some hydrogen peroxide let it foam then flush with hot water repeatedly. My mom taught me that :)

WD40 works miracles.
Gets stains out of clothes, untangles fragile necklaces... etc
Just check out this site. I have used it for many reasons stated here and I love it

To get candle wax out of a candle holder---stick it in the freezer for a bit. The wax become brittle when frozen, and easy to remove.

This is an excellent tip!!
Really works great!! Wax will pop right off what ever it's on or in!!
Also works for removing wax scented melts out of the potpourri burner!!
They pop right out!

To remove discolouration of coins, cut a lemon(in half or slice or even a freshly used lemon is good) and rub the coin with it, wipe off with clothe.
