Do you still think that toothpaste is only for cleaning your teeth? Then this tip is for you. Indeed, there are many very practical uses for this good old toothpaste! Here are 8 clever uses for toothpaste that very few people know about and yet are very useful.<\/p>\n

1 \u2013 MAKE YOUR SINK SPARKLING<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We’ve all dropped our dose of toothpaste down the sink. But instead of letting it dry, put it to good use. With a soft cloth, rub the paste onto the inside of your sink to keep it shiny. Once rinsed, even the bad odors will be gone.<\/p>\n

2 \u2013 CALM THE BITES<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This product is recommended for people who suffer from allergies and itching following an insect bite.<\/p>\n

How to use it ?<\/p>\n

See page 2<\/p>\n

Apply a small amount of toothpaste to the bite and leave it on for several hours.<\/p>\n

3 \u2013 WHITEN THE SHOES<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

White leather shoes or rubber soles can be whitened thanks to the properties of this ingredient.<\/p>\n

How to use it ?<\/p>\n

Apply the toothpaste with a toothbrush, leave for a few seconds and remove with a damp cloth.<\/p>\n

4 \u2013 CLEAN RUGS AND CARPETS<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Carpets tend to get stained from dyes, oils, coffee and many other substances we use every day.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, toothpaste can make them look brand new again.<\/p>\n

How to use it ?<\/p>\n

See page 3<\/p>\n

Spread a large amount of toothpaste on the stained area of the carpet, scrub with a brush and rinse.<\/p>\n

5 \u2013 CLEAN THE JEWELRY<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Thanks to the chemical compounds it contains, toothpaste is an excellent product for removing the dirt that makes our jewelry opaque.<\/p>\n

How to use it ?<\/p>\n

Rub the toothpaste on the jewelry, leave it on for a few minutes and clean with a cloth.<\/p>\n

Finally, shine them with a clean cloth.
\n6 \u2013 PLUGGING A HOLE<\/p>\n

See page 4<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Obviously, the ideal solution is plaster or special coating, but toothpaste works better for small holes such as nails or hooks in the wall. All you have to do is put the substance in the hole and then scrape off what is sticking out.<\/p>\n

7 \u2013 SHINE THE IRON<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This dark layer that forms on the iron is quite annoying because sometimes it spreads and stains clothes.<\/p>\n

If you want to have a brand new iron, do not hesitate to clean it with toothpaste.<\/p>\n

How to use it ?<\/p>\n

Rub the toothpaste with a brush or cloth until the stains are gone.<\/p>\n\n
