The secret powers of ordinary toothpaste, which I learned about not so long ago! Or 6 non-standard ways of using it in everyday life

Do you use toothpaste? Of course you are! But did you know that not only her teeth can be brushed? In fact, she is able to help you solve many different everyday problems. For example…

Good afternoon dear friends!

The paste can disinfect, cleanse, remove stains, as well as add shine and fresh scent to all kinds of surfaces. Moreover, even the cheapest of them are absolutely safe and do not emit harmful substances. And what is especially pleasing, they cope with problems with a bang. So here's to tell youhow a tube of toothpaste can help in everyday life, I prepared this material.

And in general, in some cases it is possible not to spend extra money on the purchase of expensive household chemicals. They can be successfully replaced by ordinary toothpaste.

1.Disinfection of plastic bottles. It's no secret that baby bottles or bottles for sports, despite frequent washing, acquire an unpleasant odor over time. This is especially noticeable in the upper part. There are many small plastic and rubber parts that are difficult to rinse thoroughly with plain water. So, to get rid of the unwanted aroma, you can use regular toothpaste.

To do this, you need to apply it to a toothbrush (dish brush) and clean all the inner surfaces of the bottle, as well as the outer area near the neck. And then rinse the container first in the dishwasher and only then under running water. That, in fact, is all.

2.Jewelry and bijouterie cleaning. If your jewelry has faded, a mud deposit has appeared on them, then do not rush to look for a jewelry workshop and spend a small amount of money on the procedure. They can be cleaned with a toothbrush (a soft bristle for children is ideal) and toothpaste. To do this, you need to apply toothpaste to the brush, and then brush the jewelry with it. Do not wait for the paste to dry, rinse the jewelry under running water, and then gently dry your product with a soft cloth.

But be careful! For example, natural pearls cannot be cleaned in this way. The abrasive components in the toothpaste can damage its surface.

3.Removing stains from clothing. At a resort or on a business trip, toothpaste can save your belongings from stubborn stains. To do this, use it to treat traces of lipstick, fruit juice, or tomato sauce. At the same time, try to rub it as deeply into the fabric as possible, and only then wash things by hand. If the stain is fresh, it will most likely disappear the first time. But the dried one may require re-processing from you.

Also, be careful when removing stains on colored items with a bleaching paste. Since the color may disappear along with the stain.

4.Whitening sneakers. Has the white sole of your favorite sneakers turned gray? It doesn't matter either! An old toothbrush and a small amount of toothpaste will come to your rescue. You just need to apply the paste to all the rubberized parts of the shoe, and then clean them with a brush. That's the whole life hack.

By the way, this technique works with more classic shoes as well.

5.Cleaning the soleplate of the iron. Over time, gray-white deposits appear on the sole of any iron one way or another. Which not only negatively affect its performance, but can also ruin your things. So what can you do? Purchasing an expensive cleaning pencil? Not at all! It is enough to use toothpaste, wet and dry cloth.

So, first you spread the paste on the cold soleplate of the iron, then rub it vigorously, and then wipe the surface with a damp and dry cloth. All! After this procedure, your iron should shine again like new.

6.Brightening chrome-plated products. Many housewives know firsthand that getting rid of limestone deposits on faucets in the bathroom or in the kitchen is not easy. Alas, not all expensive tools cope with it at once. But toothpaste is a great alternative to various powders and gels. So, to return the taps to their former shining appearance, apply the paste to all chrome parts and wipe them with a cloth. And then just rinse off the paste with water and then walk with another dry cloth. Actually, that's it!

But keep in mind that this cleaning method should not be used too often. Abrasive substances can spoil the glossy finish of plumbing fixtures over time.
