Toothpaste. It keeps your teeth from rotting and falling out of your face. It makes you eligible for kisses you otherwise wouldn’t qualify for. And it ensures that you drink your morning orange juice BEFORE brushing.
But it’s got other uses. It can save you money. Read on for some unusual uses of toothpaste. And if you’ve got a use for toothpaste that I didn’t mention here, post it in the comments.
1 – MAKE YOUR SINK SPARKLING
We’ve all dropped our dose of toothpaste down the sink. But instead of letting it dry, put it to good use. With a soft cloth, rub the paste onto the inside of your sink to keep it shiny. Once rinsed, even the bad odors will be gone.
2 – CALM THE BITES
This product is recommended for people who suffer from allergies and itching following an insect bite.
How to use it ?
Apply a small amount of toothpaste to the bite and leave it on for several hours.
3 – WHITEN THE SHOES
White leather shoes or rubber soles can be whitened thanks to the properties of this ingredient.
How to use it ?
Apply the toothpaste with a toothbrush, leave for a few seconds and remove with a damp cloth.
4 – CLEAN RUGS AND CARPETS
Carpets tend to get stained from dyes, oils, coffee and many other substances we use every day.
Fortunately, toothpaste can make them look brand new again.
How to use it ?
Spread a large amount of toothpaste on the stained area of the carpet, scrub with a brush and rinse.
5 – CLEAN THE JEWELRY
Thanks to the chemical compounds it contains, toothpaste is an excellent product for removing the dirt that makes our jewelry opaque.
How to use it ?
Rub the toothpaste on the jewelry, leave it on for a few minutes and clean with a cloth.
Finally, shine them with a clean cloth.
6 – PLUGGING A HOLE
Obviously, the ideal solution is plaster or special coating, but toothpaste works better for small holes such as nails or hooks in the wall. All you have to do is put the substance in the hole and then scrape off what is sticking out.
7 – SHINE THE IRON
This dark layer that forms on the iron is quite annoying because sometimes it spreads and stains clothes.
If you want to have a brand new iron, do not hesitate to clean it with toothpaste.
How to use it ?
Rub the toothpaste with a brush or cloth until the stains are gone.
