Here are the Uses of Toothpaste You Never Knew
We usually use toothpaste twice a day, in the morning and at night before going to bed. But do you know that you can use it for different purposes other than that? Here are the details.
Despite being used to clean your teeth, toothpaste actually has many more uses. We've compiled a list of the eight best cleaning hacks with toothpaste.
HAIR DYE
If you dye your hair at home, you've probably encountered red or brown spots on your forehead and neck. The dye not only stained your hair, but also your skin! This can usually be removed with lots of soap and a little scrubbing, but is quite damaging to the skin. It's better to avoid this by applying Vaseline around your hairline, but even then the dye can stain your skin. Did you forget your Vaseline or is it still a paint stain? Squeeze some toothpaste onto a cotton ball and rub it into the affected skin. Your skin will be clean before you know it. Remember to clean it with some water and some mild soap, as toothpaste can be quite drying to the skin.
THERMOS
Do you use a thermos to bring tea or coffee on the go? But if you haven't used it for a while, a foul odor may develop, making it unappealing to drink again. But you can easily clean it with a little toothpaste. Pour some into the thermos and fill it with hot water. Let it sit for a while, shake it well and pour out the water. Rinse with hot water and the bad smell will be gone.
SUNGLASSES
Are your sunglasses covered in fingerprints and dust? No problem for toothpaste! Make sure you use a soft toothpaste, not abrasive particles. Squeeze some toothpaste onto a cotton ball and rub it in. Keep rubbing with clean cotton pads until the toothpaste is gone.
CHOPPING BOARD
Did you cut onions or fish? Then your hands and cutting board probably smell like this. You can easily get rid of the smell by washing your hands with some toothpaste. Also, rub some toothpaste on the cutting board before washing it, as you normally would, to avoid lingering bad odors.
MARKERS
Maybe your child was painting on something other than paper and your desk is now covered with felt-tip pens. Don't worry, spray some toothpaste on the surface and scrub it with a scrub brush. Wipe it with a paper towel and no one will know about it.
WHITE SOLES
If you own white-soled sneakers, you know how difficult it is to keep them bright white. They usually turn a little yellow or gray after a while. If you want them to stay white, apply some toothpaste on them. Wipe it off with a paper towel and your soles will be white again.
IRON
Does your iron have some residue that makes it difficult to iron your clothes? You don't want to leave stains on your precious clothes, so it's very important to clean the iron regularly. Make sure the iron is cold before applying some toothpaste to the iron. Wipe it with a paper towel, it's that easy.
HEADLIGHTS
Do your headlights look a little dimmer? Don't worry, squeeze toothpaste on them and rub them with your fingertips. Let it sit for about 15 minutes before brushing with an old toothbrush. You will notice that the paste will turn brown as it removes all the dirt and grime. After rubbing the headlights, you can wipe the toothpaste with a damp towel.
