They could all use an ASPIRIN.
To remove perspiration stains from white T-shirts, dissolve two aspirins in half a cup of warm water and apply to the area of the fabric where the stain is. This should be left for a couple of hours before washing.
First aid for pimples: Crush an aspirin tablet and add a little water to make a paste. Cover the pimple with this paste and after a few minutes rinse it off. The pimple will be less red and reduced in size. Aspirin is an astringent.
Drop a soluble aspirin tablet into the water before arranging cut flowers in a vase. It helps to keep them fresh for longer.
Mosquito bites can be eased by wetting the skin and rubbing an aspirin over the spot.
For other uses of aspirin, please take a look at this source-

Thanks for these tips, ryan. I have heard of the flowers one before, but not the others. I will have to go check out the site and see what else might be useful. It sure beats all those expensive cleaners and clensers, thats for sure.
Best wishes to you
