Safely Unscrew A Broken Lightbulb With A Bar Of Soap

Your everyday bar of soap can be used for a lot more than you’d think. Aside from keeping you clean, home and garden blog Gomestic suggests it’s a great way to safely remove a broken lightbulb.

Anytime you have a broken light bulb that is still screwed in to the socket, just turn off the power and insert the corner of a dry bar of soap into the socket. With a few turns, the bulb will unscrew.

Next time you find yourself attempting to remove a broken lightbulb from its socket, grab a bar of soap and avoid some potentially nasty injuries.
