Toothpaste isn't just for your teeth.
This everyday item can actually be a secret cleaning tool around your home.
From polishing to stain removal, here are 5 smart ways to use toothpaste you probably didn’t know about!
1️⃣ Clean Foggy Headlights
If your car headlights are looking cloudy, don’t rush to replace them.
Just apply non-gel white toothpaste to a soft cloth and rub it on the headlight in circular motions.
Rinse with water and dry.
Your lights will look brighter in minutes.
2️⃣ Remove Crayon Marks from Walls
Got kids? Then crayon marks on the wall are probably a familiar sight.
Apply a bit of white toothpaste to a damp cloth and gently rub the stain.
It works surprisingly well without damaging the paint.
3️⃣ Polish Silver Jewelry
To bring back the shine in your silver rings or necklaces,
squeeze a small amount of toothpaste onto a soft toothbrush and scrub lightly.
Rinse with warm water and dry with a soft towel—your jewelry will sparkle again!
4️⃣ Deodorize Smelly Hands
After chopping garlic, onions, or fish, your hands can smell awful.
Rub a dab of toothpaste between your palms, rinse with water, and voila!
Fresh-smelling hands in seconds.
5️⃣ Clean Bathroom Sinks and Faucets
Toothpaste can act as a gentle abrasive.
Spread a bit on the sink or faucet, scrub with a sponge, and rinse.
It removes water spots and toothpaste gunk from around the edges!
⚠️ Quick Reminders
- Always use white, non-gel toothpaste for cleaning.
- Do a patch test on delicate surfaces.
- Avoid colored or gel-based varieties—they may stain or leave residue.
Toothpaste is cheap, available, and surprisingly effective.
Next time you reach for it, remember—
it might be the handiest cleaner you didn’t know you had!
