    It’s not very creative but I use Q-tips to clean both my ears and my dog’s. I have found them invaluable when I found a stray puppy covered in bug bites. I brought him home bathed him (he wasn’t to thrilled with a bath and this was probably his first ever bath) the next day I looked at his ears and while I’m not a vet I would bet he had an ear infection. I probably went through 20 Q-tips both sides cleaning out his ears. Put in some ear solution afterwards and his ears got better.

Now he can feel better and enjoy his new home!

    This morning I’m looking at a way to use a Qtip to jam the medicine cabinet door before I have to empty it because the safety latches don’t work on it, drilling a lock into the wall if the jam doesn’t work is a possibility. At least it took several months for them to learn to open it.

    I started to draw again recently, and did a sketch of a Cartoon Cat for a
    supply drive flyer, I use a Qtip to clean up mistakes when I use a charcoal
    pencil. Got some good donations.

  • Pamela C

    Every day I incorporate my kittens into my work – the sell toys – on the computer, and I clean my cpu fan, and other fans with a Qtip

  • Olivia Rubin

    to wipe away eye ball boogers.

  • Lori Miller

    I use Q-tips to apply styptic powder when nails get clipped too short.

  • Kelly Ann T.

    I use Q-tips to clean small parts of my dogs toys.

  • Pamela C

    Qtips to stuff catnip to the bottom of my handmade kitten toys

  • Pamela C

    Qtip to clean the slots in the fan that we use to cool the kittens room, dust accumulation is even bad for kittens

  • Pamela C

    The Kittens Carriers were all used and needed to be cleaned, cotton swabs to clean the air openings on each side of the carriers because dirt gets in the
    oval openings and/or the smell of the cleaner if not removed completely. I used an anti-viral cleaner, rinsing and washing a few times before completely drying
    and getting it off all parts of the carrier

  • Pamela C

    This may be a repeat but I still like teasing the kittens by tickling their whiskers with a qtip, but you can also make little cat faces with the qtips as
    well. 2 eyes, one for nose, 6 for whiskers

  • Pamela C

    The kittens are indoors too much and don’t get to experience smelling things in the yard like they should, lavender and scents on a qtip can give them a new
    way to experience flowers essence, although they seem more attracted to my menthol rub.

  • Pamela C

    This is a must win for me so I am trying to think of every new and known use for Qtips, I go through them by the handfuls when cleaning everything from jewelry to cat sleeping and toys, so I buy the cheap kind. But I like to kill
    carpenter ants with them, because they tend to get down the sink and under baseboards where only a qtip and/or some borax can go. They are terrible in Florida & crawl on the babies if not eradicated, so I hope the nokill ant community does not reply here l<)

  • olivia rubin

    to aid ointment to pads

  • olivia rubin

    for eye boogers

  • olivia rubin

    to wipe outer ear

  • Kathy E.

    I always use q-tips for cleaning the doggies ears…not a unique answer, but q-tips are much better (more cotton) than the generic swabs :)

  • Kelly Ann T.

    I use Q-tips to apply ointement to my dogs pads.

  • Pamela C

    Pooh paw, qtips are still cheaper than a good Kleenex so when pooh paw strikes on the tile and it is only a small spot, a qtip with soapy water can clean it up.

  • Pamela C

    Once you use a flea comb the fleas sometimes don’t come off in soapy water so
    a Qtip will get the flea off the comb!

  • Trish B.

    I use Q-tips to apply ointment to my dogs boo boos.

  • Trish B.

    I use Q-tips to clean the crevices in the travel pet kennels.

  • Trish B.

    I also use Q-tips to clean the bars on the regular dog kennels that are all metal.

  • Trish B.

    Q-tips are wonderful for cleaning and applying medication in between paw pads.

  • Trish B.

    I use Q-tips to clean the folds in my dogs’ ears. They don’t seem to mind it and the Q-tips really help to get the dirt out.

  • Trish B.

    If I quick one of my dogs’ nails while clipping them, I put flour on a Q-tip and put it on the bleeding nail to help stop the bleeding.

  • Trish B.

    Q-tips are great for cleaning around my dog’s eyes. They are very gentle and can help to get the dried on drainage off easily.

  • Trish B.

    Q-tips are also great for cleaning out and applying medication to Bulldog tail pockets.

  • Olivia Rubin

    i would like to build a snowflake out of qtips

  • Shelly

    I’ve said it before & I’ll say it again…Q-tips are great doggy ear cleaners! Just be very gentle!

  • Kelly Ann T.

    I like to use it for scratches and to clean between the pads.

  • Lori Miller

    I use Q-tips to clean scratches and apply ointment.

  • Pamela C

    Setting up an art space to work with and around kittens is very hard, they think everything is for them to eat. Drawing some frames and could not get them out of the way of the ruler, a couple of qtips work to draw a straight line for a frame, then they can be slipped in a pocket while the kittens are sitting on the art paper, trying to eat it.

  • Pamela C

    Qtip with soapy water on it to spot clean pooh butt, this is my first experience with long haired cat, I’m trying everything.

  • Pamela C

    Qtips on a piece of art paper to move them around and simulate motion when blocking a film scene, because on my cats like to eat the end of the expensive art pencils I draw with.

  • Pamela C

    It’s after 5am and I still can’t spell or use correct grammar, sorry

  • Pamela C

    Kittens like to open the tape player and dvd doors now with their paws. Canned air just pushes the cat hair into the machine so Qtips slightly damp will pick up cat hair on the edge of the sound system tape door or on the dvd door inside.

  • Pamela C

    I can tape a Qtip to my kittens middle paw digit and have them all hold it up to Salute PETA and anyone else who is Not NoKill!

  • letessha w

    clean the dog’s ears

  • letessha w

    put ointment on cuts

  • letessha w

    moisten q-tips with warm water to clean corner of eyes

  • Pamela C

    An unintended use of a Qtip as a Cat Toy, my girl can get quite vicious when she gets her mouth around the middle of the Qtip, anyone trying to take it away from her is the enemy. I won this time, I prefer she chews on a stuffed mouse.

  • Olivia Rubin

    i like the new qtips that come to a point on both ends, very intricate to get into tight crevices

  • Pamela C

    Qtips dipped in peroxide to clean the blood off of small cuts on me. This is my first experience with long hair cats, I am trying to clip their butt hair. When that does not work we have pooh butt. It can be cleaned with some running water but one of my girls digs her claws into me the minute the sink sprayer is pulled. Good thing she is the sweetest kitty ever or there would be some expletives here.

  • Pamela C

    QTip dipped in rubbing alcohol to get the kitten hair off my keyboard keys because it works between them and under them. My keyboard is on my bed when I type and so are half the kittens so beside putting the comuter into snooze too much they track everything on the keyboard.

  • Pamela C

    Qtips to apply cream neosporin when needed for kittens, I was thinking about buying the spray but with kittens they move around too much and I am likely to not get it where it belongs and after you spray you can’t tell that.

  • Olivia Rubin

    I would buy more qtips with the money…i used them all up for this giveaway

  • Olivia Rubin

    To dab kwik stop ointment

  • Olivia Rubin

    i am out of ideas. i am sure there are plenty of things to do. I will think more thoroughly about this

  • Olivia Rubin

    i would build a catapult to use with my angry bird dog toys

  • Kelly Ann T.

    I use them to clean between my dogs folds on his skin.

  • Pamela C

    Was very ill from spraying Virbac’s Knockout even with goggles, mask and gloves, spraying outside carpet. Inside I am spraying a qtip to get in small spaces around the kittens bedroom windows and under the baseboards.

  • Misty

    I use them to clean out between the prongs of the fur brush.

  • Misty

    Wow, two fifty, we must use Qtips alot! I use them to clean the corners of the fish tank.

  • Misty

    I pull the fur out from between the leather seats in the vehicles.

  • Nancy

    I use them to clean ich on the fish.

  • Nancy

    I occasionally will use Qtips to clean the turtle’s shell.

  • Rick

    I use Qtips to apply “stuff” to deice the clips on leashes and collars when we are out in the really cold weather.

  • Rick

    Qtips are great for giving the small animals their medicine laced peanut butter.

  • Rick

    Qtips are great for lubricating stiff dog doors.

  • Amy Orvin

    I use q-tips to clean the little creavices of the sink.

  • Ranee Baker

    I use q-tips to clean the ear pinnae of my Basenjis.

  • JC

    I have used Q-tips to remove dirt from between my little dogs toes/pads

  • Pamela C

    I’m in hopefully the last stages of a project to deflea (and get rid of the nicotine) in the house. I see I will be using Qtips to pick up fleas falling
    off the cats, particularly into their water bowl.

  • Pamela C

    Since the washing machine will be going like crazy I can also be using a Qtip to get stray hairs out of the holes in the machine tub, I have tools for the dryer but don’t want to get them wet.

  • Pamela C

    There is a designate smoking part of the house which is unfortunately also outside where the Kittens go, and there are no cat people around me so I have to put up a no smoking sign for the kittens to remind people not to leave the ashtrays or cigs there after smoking, Qtips will make a good X over the word smoking. It has to look funny because my no smoking rampage has made people around me mad, as we enter the xmas season with another death in the family near. Go figure.

  • Pamela C

    I have some more safety devices to install and repair. This I could write for hours about, with 6 kittens tearing at one thing they manage to turn doorknobs (I’m installing alarm systems), break cabinet hand;es, break the door lock on a plastic cat door…this has been endless. Daddy might have been a Maine Coon, because some are getting big. I am restricting their movement because of doing flea control. I have to throw things across the room not to be under seige while doing repairs. If I lose this contest I will probably be throwing some Qtips!

  • Pamela C

    The Kittens have been in front of a camera since coming out of the womb. They love it and like to put their faces in it. This makes it hard to get a shot, I use various dangling items, the handle of the camera is already chewed off. Dangling a Qtip with the cotton pulled off and a treat put on the
    stick probably is safer than some other items around here.

  • Pamela C

    CONGRATS 2 you 3, Had to give it my best shot!
