Toothpaste can be used for a ton of things other than cleaning your teeth

#Polish Jewelry

There is no need to pay extra for a fancy jewelry cleaning when you’ve got toothpaste at home. If you have any silver jewelry that is in need of a good polish then take a clean, soft-bristles toothbrush or a cloth and a tiny amount of toothpaste and gently buff out the jewelry. You can also use this for diamonds. Once you are done cleaning, just rinse well and dry with a microfiber cloth. However, make sure to not use toothpaste on any soft gems such as opal or pearls, in order to avoid scratching.

#Remove Permanent Marker

Well, kids will be kids. And if your kid happens to be an artist in the making, they will sooner or later try to take a go at the biggest canvas in your home, which is the wall. So, if your precious angel has gotten hold of the permanent marker and done some damage to the beautiful paint, don’t worry! Toothpaste is an amazing stain remover. Just grab a tube of white toothpaste and rub it on any stained areas. Then with an old rag buff out the stain. Repeat as needed. This also works with other surfaces.

#Clean Your Iron

Is your iron in need of a good clean? Is it no longer smooth and spotless? Don’t let all the collected gunk stain your cloths and hamper your iron’s effectiveness. Now you can easily take it off with some gel toothpaste. Apply this mild abrasive onto your cool iron with a rag, then scrub it off with a clean rag. With a damp rag, make sure every part of the toothpaste is cleared.

#Remove Crayon

If your kids are not fans of the permanent marker, but rather of the crayon, don’t worry. Toothpaste can even deal with this type of stain. Just grab a non-gel toothpaste and a brush for scrubbing or a rag. Squirt out the toothpaste on the wall and start scrubbing. The paste will rub away the crayon. Then just wipe down the wall with a damp cloth, and you’re done.

#Clean Your Shoes

There are two ways toothpaste can benefit your shoes. The first being to revive some of the whiteness in your white rubber trims. Just take some white toothpaste, one without any colors or gels, and apply straight onto the dirty rims. Rub with a cloth and buff. Then just rinse off the leftover paste and enjoy your whiter looking rims. Another way toothpaste can help clean your shoes is by getting rid of scuffs from leather. Just dab some paste on the scuffed area and rub with a cloth. Then just wipe off any excess toothpaste with a damp cloth. No more scuffs.

#Remove Scratches

Scratches on your phone screen or watch happen. However, they can be a real big eyesore. So, you can use toothpaste to reduce their visibility and make your phone or watch look much nicer. Just rub some toothpaste on the scratched area and buff it out. Make sure to use it sparingly and don’t spread it everywhere, in order to avoid potential damage.

#Clean The Sink

Next time a big chunk of non-gel toothpaste falls into the sink, don’t just wash it away. Take a sponge and give it a good scrub all around the sink. The paste acts as a natural abrasive and makes a good cleaner. It also helps to deodorize a smelly drain.
