We all have toothpaste in the house, right? It is a product we
use daily, not once, not twice, but 3 times. Have you ever thought about using
it in other ways than cleaning your teeth? Not only you but also your house can
benefit from it and enjoy its great properties. Its chemical composition
removes stains, cleans spots and much more. Stay with us to see which are the
19 unusual ways you can use toothpaste around the house other than you normally
use it for.
Toothpaste can be used for:
1. Polishing
Silver: doesn’t matter what type of object made of
silver we talk about, toothpaste will clean it.
Just apply the toothpaste to
the surface, polish, then wash off all residue with a cloth and water.
2. Cleaning
Car Headlights: Usually car headlights start to fog up
in time,
all you need to do is to take a cloth, a non abrasive toothpaste and
clean off all the dirt with it.
3. Cleaning
Crayon Off The Walls: if you have children and they are
a little hard to control and your walls are full of drawings,
just squeeze some
paste on a rag, scrub the surface and finish cleaning with a slightly wet cloth.
4. Whitening
Piano Keys: your piano keys can turn yellow in time and
this is caused by buildup dirt. A non-abrasive toothpaste and a wet cloth will
make them look like new!
5.
Cleaning Sneakers: Your white sneakers can come to
their almost new look in a couple of minutes.
Clean them with whitening
toothpaste and a cloth.
6.
Defogging Your Goggles: Gently rub some toothpaste on
the interior of your goggles with a microfiber cloth and this will prevent them
from getting foggy.
7.
Removing Water Stains From Wood: sometimes we forget to
use coasters so we put our cups with liquids on the table without realizing
they can stain the furniture. Rub some non-abrasive toothpaste over the marks
and make them disappear!
8.
Removing Ink Stains From Leather: this is a tricky one
but works, in some cases it might not remove the stain completely, but it
reduces its size substantially. Put a pea sized amount of toothpaste on the
spot, let it dry then remove with a wet cloth.
10. Removing Dye Stains: all women who dye their hair know how hard it is to
remove dye stains from skin, especially if the color is dark! Just scrub the
dye away with toothpaste.
10.
Relieving Pain: if you get bitten by an insect or
accidentally burned by something, rub some toothpaste over the area and let it
dry. Repeat a couple of times if the pain is strong, but it should start
relieving it instantly.
11.
Getting Rid Of Acne: if you wake up with pimples, just
dab small amounts of toothpaste on them before going to bed and this will help
reducing their size and making them heal faster.
12.
Cleaning Your Iron: if your iron got a little messy and
needs a cleaning, just use some toothpaste to make the surface like new.
Just
be careful to not put too much toothpaste to block the holes.
13.
Fixing Phone Scratches: if you noticed you have some
scratches on your phone and they look quite bad, take a cloth and rub some
toothpaste over the area.
The scratches will be reduced and less visible.
14.
Removing Stains From Carpets: it is almost inevitable
not to stain your carpets in the house while you walk, eat, have friends around
or play with animals. The lighter the color of the carpet the worse the spots
look on it. Just use a wet cloth and some toothpaste to clean out the spots,
you will be amazed that this actually works.
15.
Removing Nail Polish Stains: dark nail polish can leave
ugly spots on nails and when you want to have them just with a transparent
coat, looks pretty bad. Take a nail brush and a whitening toothpaste and scrub
some over your nails until they are clean.
16.
Cleaning Smelly Hands: after you have chopped onions or
garlic your hands can get really smelly and sometimes regular soap doesn’t take
it away. If your hands get smelly, just rub some toothpaste over them and rinse
with water. Smell gone!
17.
Deodorizing Reusable Bottles: all kinds of liquids
leave all kinds of smells in your reusable bottles. To get rid of that just
clean them with some toothpaste and a bottle brush.
