Everyone knows the main role of toothpaste, but few people know that it can be used in many other ways. It is not only useful in getting an enviable smile, but it has many other uses that you should take advantage of in the household.

Here are 13 toothpaste uses you didn't know existed!

Uses of toothpaste: 13 unique solutions

1. Toothpaste not only cleanses the mouth but also older shoes. All you have to do is put a small amount of white paste on a toothbrush and rub your sneakers or sneakers with it. It will change their appearance instantly.

2. Clean your jewelry with toothpaste! Apply a small amount on a soft brush or towel and gently rub the accessories. Rinse with water, then repeat the procedure until you get the desired results. Most of the time it is enough to clean once. From now on, your jewelry will regain its luster from the beginning.

3. Toothpaste dries pimples. Apply it with your fingers on the basket and leave it to act for a few hours or even overnight. Remove the paste with water or make-up remover and moisturize the skin with cream. The uses of toothpaste do not end here.

4. Get rid of unpleasant odors on the hands left by onions, garlic, and fish with the help of toothpaste. Rub your palms as if you were washing with soap, insist on the nail area, then rinse with plenty of water. Use white toothpaste, without whitening agents and with low fluoride content.

5. Wash the containers in which you keep your baby's milk with toothpaste. Use a new toothbrush to clean them well. Not only will it eliminate the smell of milk, but it will also remove traces of fat. You can also use it for other types of containers.

6. Use toothpaste to prevent steam from forming on the bathroom mirror. Do not use a gel-based one and prepare to wipe thoroughly with a paper towel. The results are amazing. Some people use toothpaste on ski goggles, in the shower, and on car windows.

7. Clean faucets and faucets in the bathroom and kitchen with toothpaste. They will regain their luster instantly. Apply the white paste on the abrasive side of the sponge and vigorously rub the sanitary ware.

8. Remove ink and lipstick from clothes. Apply a little white toothpaste on the stain and rub vigorously. Rinse with water and repeat the procedure until you have completely removed the dirt.

9. Remove dirt accumulated on the iron soleplate. Apply the paste on a towel and gently wipe the cold sole. Make sure the iron is unplugged. Remove excess toothpaste with clean paper.

10. If you do not have solutions for cleaning the sink, you can always use a little toothpaste.

Now that you know the uses of toothpaste, you can use it with confidence every time you need it. But don't forget that you have to choose a product that does not have the consistency of a gel.

11. Clears scratched CDs and DVDs. Gently apply a small amount of toothpaste to the scratches and wipe with a cloth from the center to the outside of the CD. Clean with water and dry with a microfiber towel.

12. Help spotted sneakers. If the insoles of your favorite sneakers have gotten ugly, they can be cleaned with the magic product and a small brush.

13. Fill holes in the wall. Holes the size of a pinion or even larger can be filled with toothpaste, then leveled with a playing card. The operation is repeated, if the toothpaste loses its volume, once dry.
