20 unexpected uses for toothpaste

Many people like to use devices and products for purposes other than their intended purpose. Soda is used to wash dishes, steam treat potatoes, and remove unpleasant odors with vinegar. So, through trial and error, toothpaste was found to have 20 unusual uses in everyday life, besides brushing teeth, of course.

20 ways to use toothpaste at home

1. Give your nails shine and whiten them. Girls are familiar with the situation when their nails turn yellow after wearing red or burgundy polish. The reason is that the pigment is persistent and difficult to wash off. Apply a little toothpaste to a brush dipped in water and brush your nails. In this way, you can not only whiten your nails, but also clean them after working in the garden or digging in the car.
2. Bring newness back to silver. This is one of the ways to clean silver; it is safe for the metal if you use a product without abrasive particles. Simply apply it to a damp cloth and wipe the product with minimal pressure. You can use tooth powder diluted in water.

IMPORTANT! Do not clean precious rhodium plated items this way, it will ruin them.

3. To clean car headlights - apply 2-3 strips of product along the headlights and clean them with a dry cloth. Then wash it. You can clean sunglasses or regular glasses this way.
4. Tarnished piano keys are noticeable and require cleaning. To give them a second chance, apply the paste to a cloth and wipe the keys with it.
5. The fashion for white sneakers and other light-colored shoes has made the problem of dirty soles urgent.Especially after rain, snow-white sneakers with embossed soles disappoint their owners - ingrained dirt cannot be removed with either water or soap. Try brushing them with toothpaste. Yes, that’s it, do the same procedure with your soles that you do with your teeth every morning. The hard bristles of the brush will penetrate into the thinnest crevices, and the abrasive particles in the product will clean away stubborn dirt.
6. Swimming goggles quickly become coated, and if you forgot about them from your last vacation, it won’t be easy to clean. But not for toothpaste. The cleaning principle is the same as with regular glasses or headlights.
7. A tank freshener will help add freshness to your bathroom or restroom. Pierce the tube with a knife or scissors in several places and place it in the tank. A fresh smell and a clean toilet are guaranteed.
