Other handy uses of toothpaste

Your trusted toothpaste brand doesn’t just keep your teeth healthy and make your smile beautiful, it also has many handy uses around the house!

The same toothpaste that you use for fresh breath and sparkly white teeth can also be used to clean your sink or even remove cloth stains.

Toothpaste is a mild abrasive that can work wonders on many problems at home.

Prepare your old toothbrush and remaining toothpaste because in this article, CDN Digital has compiled other alternative uses for toothpaste.

Flat iron

Through years of use, an old iron will definitely have accumulated stains.

Good thing that an old toothbrush and toothpaste can do the trick and remove these stains.

When your flat iron is cool, apply non-gel toothpaste and scrub using a toothbrush or old rag.

When you think you have removed all the stains from the bottom plate of your iron, rinse with clean water.

Jewelry

Have you noticed that your diamond rings are starting to look filthy?

Just scrub them with toothpaste and rinse.

If your watch bezel and bands are starting to look nasty, apply toothpaste and rub using a dry cloth.

Do the same on necklace or bracelet, but this time, put the toothpaste on an old toothbrush.  Then wipe it clean with a damp cloth.

Sink

Toothpaste is an effective sink cleaner.

You can rub it around the drain, the faucet, and the basin to remove stain and dirt.

It also deodorizes the bathroom sink.

Use a sponge with the right amount of toothpaste to kill odor coming from your sink’s drain.

Non-gel toothpaste works wonders for your sink. Just make sure to rinse it out well.

Crayon from walls

Admit it, your children once thought that the walls were an acceptable place to practice their coloring skills.

Your non-gel toothpaste and a rag will do the job for you!

Rinse using a clean damp cloth.

Just relax, fine abrasive in the toothpaste will rub away the crayon for you.

Fabric Stains

Toothpaste works depending on the type of fabric.

You spilled your coffee or you accidentally got your lipstick all over your shirt?

Use non-gel toothpaste and rub on the stain. Repeat the process a few more times until the stain is all gone. Then rinse with water.

Toothpaste will also help clean up stains on your carpet.  Scrub if off using an old toothbrush.
