It turns out that she does a great job not only with personal hygiene. Toothpaste can replace some medicines and cosmetics.
You need to brush your teeth twice a day. This is a truth that we cannot doubt in any way. However, it can be used not only for hygienic purposes. In an emergency, the toothpaste will turn out to be a real lifesaver.
1. Relieves irritation from mosquito bites and other insects
To soothe the itch from the bite and relieve swelling, apply a small amount of toothpaste to the affected area. You can lubricate a cut or worn legs with it – thanks to it, the wounds will heal much faster.
2. Removes stains on carpets and clothes
Unfortunately, it does. Especially in a house with children. Treat the stain with toothpaste and scrub with a brush. Then rinse the area with water. Be careful with colored items – after bleaching toothpaste, faded spots may remain. Also, the toothpaste will deal with ink stains or lipstick.
3. Does not fog up swimming goggles
Apply a small amount of toothpaste to each lens, rub lightly to prevent the lenses from being damaged by abrasive components. Rinse off with water. And if you wipe your car headlights with a rag and toothpaste, they will delight you with their shine.
4. Fixes hair
Gel toothpastes contain the same water-soluble polymers found in many styling gels.
5. Clean the soles of white sneakers and sneakers
Just brush over the sole with a toothbrush and whitening paste. In the same way, you can tidy up scratched places on any leather shoes and things. Apply the paste to the damaged area and rub it with a soft cloth. And then just remove the remaining paste with a damp soft cloth.
6. Relieves pain from minor burns
This method works if the product is applied immediately after the burn. But keep in mind – the burn should really be small, no open wounds. Also, the toothpaste prevents suppuration and blistering.
7. Treats acne
Before going to bed, apply a small amount of toothpaste on top of pimples and go to bed. In the morning, just wash yourself as usual. Thanks to the anti-inflammatory components, the toothpaste relieves redness and makes pimples dry out. Adventurers say that toothpaste can even be used instead of a scrub.
8. Whitens legs, removes nail polish residues
Nails will be strong, clean and shiny when rubbed with a toothbrush and toothpaste. Just don’t overdo it. Abrasive substances can also remove the top layer of the plate.
9. Will hide holes in walls
Place the toothpaste in the hole in the wall – like a filling. When the paste is dry, you can paint the wall, glue wallpaper on it and do whatever you want.
10. Removes unpleasant odors from hands
Garlic, fish, or onion aromas are only good in the kitchen, not on your hands. But if you wash your hands not with soap, but with a drop of paste, the unpleasant smell will disappear from the skin.
11. Remove odor from feeding bottles
Instead of detergent, apply a little paste to the brush. And wash the bottle as usual. The main thing is to rinse it thoroughly afterwards.
12. Cleans painted walls
Using toothpaste, you can easily remove traces of pencils, markers and felt-tip pens from painted walls. Wet a piece of cloth and gently rub toothpaste into the affected area until the dirt is completely removed.
13. Will make silver shine
Rub the decoration with a toothbrush and paste and leave it there overnight. If you have any precious stones, for example, diamonds, you can clean them too. Just rub it very carefully. You should not brush your pearls this way, as they are too delicate.
14. Cleans iron and other metal and cast iron surfaces
Apply a layer of toothpaste to the dirty surface and scrub until shiny. The paste contains an excellent abrasive material – quartz compounds. Therefore, it also perfectly cleans chrome-plated products, for example, cranes and car rims.
15. Removes stains from wood furniture
Apply some regular white paste to the stain and rub it into the surface. Wipe with a damp cloth. And with the help of toothpaste, it is easy to clean the cups of coffee and tea deposits.
16. Removes hair dye residues
But not from the hair, but from the shell or some other surface, which accidentally got during dyeing. Wipe the hair dye mark with toothpaste for a delightful result.
17. Will remove scratch from CDs
Unfortunately, only small scratches and spots can be removed this way. Apply a thin layer of toothpaste to the surface of the disc and rub gently with a special soft cloth, rinse gently with water. The same method can be repeated with minor scratches on the phone screen or watch face.
18.Clear keyboard keys
Apply a little paste and rub with a lint-free cloth. Then wipe them dry with the same cloth.
19. Will freshen the air in the toilet
Poke a few holes in a tube of toothpaste and place it in the waste container. When flushing, the scent of mint (or any scent of your choice) will save the atmosphere in the toilet. And such a freshener is enough for a very long time.
20. Will keep the mirror from fogging up
Can’t you see your face in the foggy bathroom mirror? Before taking water treatments, apply a paste on it and wipe it off. The result is an absolutely clean, fog-free mirror. It is also easy to clean the bathroom sink with toothpaste.
