Everyone knows that Toothpaste is a tube that lives in the bathroom. It's used to brush your teeth and keep them clean - right? Did you know that there are actually many other uses for toothpaste?



1. Stain Remover. Apply toothpaste to stains on clothing and rub gently to remove the stain. Then wash clothing as usual.

2. Clean Jewellery. To make your silver jewellery shine like new, use toothpaste. Rub toothpaste onto the jewellery and leave overnight, then rub with a soft cloth. Don't use toothpaste on pearls as it will damage the finish.

3. Hand Scrub. Put a dab of toothpaste on your hands and scrub them clean. Great for removing strong food smells such as onions, fish or garlic from your hands.

4. Clean Walls. A dab of toothpaste will remove most marks, including crayon 'artwork', from your walls. Simple put some toothpaste on the area you wish to clean and rub gently with a damp cloth.

5. Clean Carpets. Apply toothpaste to stains and marks on carpets and rub gently with a brush, then rinse immediately.

6. Clean Shoes. To clean up your dirty sports shoes or scuffed leather shoes use a dab of toothpaste, scrub gently and rinse immediately.

7. Bites and Blisters. Put a dab of toothpaste on weeping or itchy wounds from insect bites or blisters. The toothpaste can dry up the wound and speed up healing plus it can help to lessen any swelling.

8. Pimples. Speed up the healing of pesky pimples with a tiny dab of toothpaste before going to bed. The toothpaste will dry up the pimple like magic.

9. Cleaning. Toothpaste is a very effective cleaning product for your bathroom sink, it's also great for shining up the chrome taps.

10. Clean Irons. Toothpaste is great for getting the gunk off the bottom of your iron. Apply a dab of toothpaste to the plate of your iron, when it's cool, and rub gently, then rinse well.

These are a just few suggestions. Use toothpaste sparingly and remember to rinse well after use. Gel and non-gel toothpaste will work differently and whitening toothpaste may have a bleaching effect. It's a good idea to test the toothpaste first before using on precious items just to ensure that there is no damage.
