Do You Know Uses of Toothpaste

Use It as Acne Cream

Dab some white, plain toothpaste on a pimple to dry it out. To avoid irritation, don’t leave the paste on for longer than 15 minutes. 

Clean Your Jewelry

Make your jewels sparkle again with just a soft toothbrush and a dab of toothpaste! Simply clean your jewelry as you would clean your teeth and then rinse with warm water and dry with a soft cloth. 

Soothe Bug Bites

For quick relief from irritating bug bites, put toothpaste on them and let it dry completely before removing. Mint toothpaste usually contains menthol, which calms temperature-sensitive nerves, producing a cooling sensation that helps relieve itching. 

De-Yellow Fingernails

Reach for a tube of whitening toothpaste the next time a dark nail polish color leaves a yellow tint on your naked nails. Put the paste on a brush and buff your nails for a few seconds before washing if off. 

Heal Scrapes

Find temporary relief from a scratch by applying toothpaste to the wound. It will reduce inflammation and stop bleeding. 

Motion Sickness and Headache Relief

Keep motion sickness and headaches at bay by rubbing toothpaste on your temples. The mint in the paste will help ease your pain naturally. 

Heal Heat Rash

Rub toothpaste onto heat rash, wash it off with clean water and repeat for relief from the irritating skin condition. 

Keep Your Blood Circulating

If you find yourself with swollen fingers and toes – especially in cold weather – you can put a dab of toothpaste on a cloth and rub the affected areas. The ginger and mint oils typically found in toothpaste will activate your blood circulation to relieve the swelling. 

Clean Silverware

Polish silverware with toothpaste to help it get its luster back. 

Clean Crayon on Surfaces

The next time you find artwork drawn with crayon on a surface that isn’t paper, clean it off using toothpaste and a soft cloth. 

Remove Sweat Stains

Eliminate pesky sweat stains on cuffs and collars with toothpaste. Just add it to the affected area and rub repeatedly until the stain is gone.

Clean a Rusty Faucet

Clean the rust from a faucet by rubbing the area with toothpaste.

Get Rust off an Iron

Use toothpaste and a cloth to eliminate a layer of rust from the bottom of your iron. Gently rub the surface until the rust is gone.
