Top 10 uses of Toothpaste You Didn`t Know

We all use toothpaste, but it has some amazing properties that make it great for a lot more things other than just whitening our teeth. There are numerous ways that toothpaste can be utilized around the house, for cleaning tasks and more. It’s amazing how many different types of household products you could get rid of, just by using toothpaste. Here are few uses for toothpaste that are sure to make life easier.

Mobile Screen Fixer

Toothpaste can clean screens on mobile devices such as cell phones and handheld gaming consoles. Lightly rub the screen with toothpaste on a cotton cloth. Then wipe the screen clean with a second cloth.

 

DVD Scratch Remover 

Minor scratches can be removed from discs using toothpaste. Rub a tiny amount and work your way from the center outward with a cotton or microfiber cloth. This works best with small scratches and a small amount should be used since using too much will worsen the problem.

Shoe Shiner

White or light colored joggers usually get ruined by dark scuff marks. The easiest solution is to scrub the scuff marks with toothpaste. This method also works for dress shoes. 

Remove Scratch from Headlamps 

The cover on headlights gets dirty and scratched over time, reducing the brightness of the lights. Clean the cover with soap and water first, then buff it with toothpaste and a polishing pad or cloth.

Hand Freshner

Soap doesn’t work that well when you have to remove the heavy smell of fish, onions, or other stinky foods from your skin. Toothpaste works far better for removing odors and can be used just like soap. Apply a dab to your hands and rub it like you would soap. Apply lotion or moisturizer afterwards. 

Iron Cleaner

When your iron’s soleplate looks gunky due to mineral buildup, you can easily clean it with a damp cloth and toothpaste. Make sure the iron is cool and unplugged and wipe the toothpaste cloth first, then wipe it with a second cloth. 

Shink Shiner

We have all dropped globs of toothpaste into our sinks at some point. But instead of letting it dry into a ball, use a soft cloth and rub the toothpaste around your sink to keep it shining. Once you rinse it, any odors from the drain will also be removed. 

Stain Remover

Toothpaste can remove the most difficult stains from your favorite clothes. Lipstick stains from shirt collars, juice stains from T-shirts and spaghetti sauce on the table cloth. Just apply toothpaste directly onto the stain, rub rigorously and throw it in the washer. Be careful not to use whitening toothpaste on colored clothes. 

Chrome Cleaner

When you notice the water spots all over your chrome faucets, use the toothpaste and rub it gently on the chrome with a soft cloth, then rinse it off. This will work for any chrome, from plumbing fixtures to car wheels. Use this trick occasionally since the abrasives in the toothpaste can gradually wear away the finish.

Water Rings Remover

Clean up water rings and spots on dining and coffee tables by putting a dab of toothpaste on the table and rubbing it. Wipe away with a wet rag to remove those water rings and spots.
