8 Unconventional Uses Of Toothpaste

Here are 12 alternative ways you could put your toothpaste to use.

1. Chrome Cleaner

When you notice water spots all over your chrome faucets, use toothpaste gently on the chrome with a soft cloth, then rinse it off.

2. Jewelry Sparkler

There aren’t many cleaners that can make jewellery shine like toothpaste. Simply scrub them with toothpaste using a soft bristle toothbrush and rinse with water before the toothpaste hardens, then shine with a cloth.

3. Revive Headlamps

Got foggy headlamps? Clean the cover with soap and water first, then buff it with toothpaste and a polishing pad or cloth.

4. Shoe Shiner

Tired of maintaining those white bottoms on your sneakers? The easiest solution is to scrub the scuff marks with toothpaste. This method also works for dress shoes.

5. Nail Hole Filler

Am I the only one who gets irritated with nail holes on a wall? Simply apply it to the hole and wipe away the excess. Go easy with coloured walls.

6. Shower Door Revitalizer

I wish most Nigerian hotels would use this tip. To give them their original clarity, simply wipe it down with a squeeze of toothpaste on a damp cloth or sponge. For more stubborn stains, let the toothpaste sit for a while and then rinse it off.

7. Iron Cleaner

Tired of using razor blades to scrape off those burn stains? Heat up iron, unplug and smear across a sizable amount of toothpaste. Next use a damp cloth to wipe off the entire surface.

8. Mobile Screen Fixer

Devices without a protective screen can become scratched over time. Toothpaste can clean screens on mobile devices such as cell phones and handheld gaming consoles. Lightly rub the screen with toothpaste on a cotton cloth. Then wipe the screen clean with a second cloth.
