Home Cleaning Hacks: Unexpected Uses for Toothpaste

Aside from cleaning people's mouths, a tube of toothpaste is also very helpful in cleaning the house. Listed below are some of the interesting uses of toothpaste which can help your house become shiny and clean.

Expert Home Tips reports that toothpaste can help revive dirty containers. For containers that have white rubber trims which have become discolored, cleaning it with white toothpaste by applying it on the dirty area will make the item white again. By cleaning old and used containers, one can save a lot of money from keeping them instead of buying new ones. Aside from dirty containers, white toothpaste can also make jewelry sparkle. It can also be used for cleaning vehicles' headlights.

White toothpaste can also clean and remove permanent marker marks on the walls, hair dye stains and also clean crayon marks on the wall. Just by applying a small amount of toothpaste on a damp towel or sponge, the colors and marks on any area will be removed without damaging the wall or any furniture.

Toothpaste is also a useful cleaning agent inside the bathroom. It can clean the sink, and it can also help reduce shower slimes on panels. This is because white toothpaste is considered a natural abrasive which can gently clean and deodorize the drain. With that, it can also be used to de-gunk iron. Gel toothpaste can help remove the gunk that can be found on iron just by adding a layer or toothpaste and scrubbing it off with a clean rug.

In the living room, Grablists reports that toothpaste can help clean carpet stains and can also remove ring marks glasses leave on the table. If something was spilled on the carpet, simply take a clean towel or napkin with a small amount of toothpaste and rub it on the stain; leave it for a while before washing it off. For wooden tables, only a small amount of toothpaste is needed to be applied directly on the mark and it will instantly go away.
