12 Unusual Uses For Toothpaste
The finest abrasive particles can not only make your teeth shine.
Toothpaste was of course originally developed to clean your teeth as well as possible. But that’s not the only use for toothpaste. We’ll show you twelve more options.
Application for toothpaste – polishing paste
The finest abrasive particles can not only make your teeth shine, but also chrome parts, for example on cars or motorcycles. Simply put some toothpaste on a damp cloth and polish!
Stain remover
As it dries, it pulls the discolouring substances of the stain out of the fabric. The dried toothpaste can then be brushed off with the stain bound in it. To do this, it must be applied to a fresh stain. Let dry, brush off, wash – stain away!
Clean tile joints
Tile joints become unsightly and gray over time. The surface of the joints is rough, which is why dirt likes to settle there. Just use an old toothbrush to brush the grout clean with toothpaste!
Close the drill holes
Would you like to hang up a shelf or picture, but you have drilled a hole in the wall in the wrong place? This can then be easily sealed with white toothpaste. Let it dry well and then repeat to make the hole completely invisible.
Clean fingernails
A strand of toothpaste on the moistened nail brush ensures that your nails are cleaner, as the abrasive particles provide an additional sanding effect.
Cleaning jewelry
With a moistened old toothbrush and some toothpaste, you can clean jewelry particularly gently and get into even the smallest gaps. It also acts like a polish and brings jewelry to a new shine.
Cleaning the piano keys
Ivory piano keys are nothing more than teeth, so they work particularly well as a cleaning agent there. Apply it with a damp cloth and then wipe it off thoroughly with a damp cloth.
Herpes help
When applied to cold sores, toothpaste helps make the cold sore dry out.
Rescue CDs / DVDs
Fine scratches on CDs or DVDs can prevent them from playing correctly. With toothpaste you can buff away such scratches and revive the CD / DVD.
Remove paint scratches
You can remove fine scratches in the paintwork of your car or motorcycle by carefully polishing it with toothpaste. Use a cotton pad and gently buff away any damage to the paint.
Against insect bites
Toothpaste relieves the itching of mosquito bites. Also ideal for use with children. It cools and prevents you from scratching yourself at the puncture site.
Odor eliminator
For example, if you’ve cut onions or other odor-intensive foods, your hands may have picked up the smell and it is unpleasant. Then use toothpaste as a hand washing paste, which you massage in intensively and let it work for a short time.
