It&#8217;s a nice, heavyweight SAE 30, and often smells like new mown grass.  Strain it through a coffee filter, and you&#8217;ve got an aromatic bath oil that will protect your skin from the harshest detergents.  If you don&#8217;t have a lawnmower, or a lawn for that matter, you might want to try Crisco, or some other vegetable shortening.  Let a golf-ball sized lump melt under a stream of hot water, and the tub ring will have a pleasant, snow white appearance. <\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/drscience.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/q2.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"q2\" src=\"http:\/\/drscience.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/q2.gif\" alt=\"QuestionImage\" width=\"25\" height=\"30\" \/><\/a><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>In the winter, I like to use a bath oil to keep my skin soft.
