Toothpaste protects teeth and the entire oral cavity from unwanted diseases, replenishment and other unnecessary nonsense. But the use of toothpaste does not end there. Toothpaste has many other useful properties that will certainly be used in everyday life.


For example, toothpaste can very easily repair holes or chips in drywall.

Let's say you accidentally made a small chip in the drywall in a rented apartment and the owner is about to come. Well, just a drop of toothpaste and not a hole. For camouflage, you can paint over it with a felt-tip pen of a similar color.

Toothpaste will protect not only your teeth, but also your sneakers.


White sneakers or sneakers with white soles get dirty very easily. Especially annoying are these black lines that can’t be washed off. But still, I found a remedy - toothpaste! And we will also need an old (or new) toothbrush. Apply the paste to the brush and back - rub these lines with progressive movements (just like brushing your teeth). Voila - the line disappeared without any difficulty.

Toothpaste perfectly cleans and polishes metal surfaces.


This is perhaps the most effective and common method of using toothpaste (after brushing your teeth, of course).I became acquainted with this method when I served in our valiant Armed Forces. A soldier's belt plaque should shine like a cat's bowl. Simple polishing with felt and goya paste is a labor-intensive and not particularly pleasant task. We used to have brass plaques and when we received them from the warehouse it would be dull or sometimes even greenish. We took an old toothbrush, put a little toothpaste on it and cleaned the plaque. A minute and the plaque sparkled.

Where is the application in everyday life?! Here's where: burnt particles have formed on the sole of the iron - they can be removed with toothpaste, while polishing the surface of the iron sole.

Toothpaste perfectly polishes chrome surfaces. If you have chrome surfaces, such as the pipes and mufflers on your motorcycle, take some toothpaste, apply a soft cloth, and buff the chrome surface by hand.

Watches and bracelets, rings and jewelry, chains and other items - everything can shine again with the help of toothpaste! Use a toothbrush in hard-to-reach places, and a soft cloth in easily accessible places.

Toothpaste is a cleaning agent.


Toothpaste is an excellent cleaner for sinks, faucets, bathtubs, and pools. A little paste and your bathroom will sparkle like new!

Toothpaste revives old CDs.


With prolonged use of CDs, small scratches will inevitably appear on them. And then the time comes when the CD becomes “unreadable”. Trouble? No! We'll fix everything. Apply some toothpaste to the surface of the disc. Using a soft towel, spread the paste over the entire scratched surface and “sand” the surface in a circular motion. Rinse off the paste and check the disc.In this procedure, the main thing is not to overdo it, because some toothpastes contain very effective abrasives and granules, which, if used incorrectly, can damage your CD.

Toothpaste against acne.


Oh no! You have an important meeting tomorrow, or maybe a date, and then, as luck would have it, a pimple popped up. Here again a drop of toothpaste will help us. Apply this drop to the pimple before going to bed. The next morning, the pimple will decrease in size and redness will decrease.

This is what toothpaste is like!

    toothpaste also helps against colds (herpes) - we smear the sore and do not wash it off, the longer, the faster the effect will come

    And when you hit your forehead or something else, apply regular white paste and the bruise will be smaller.

    I also use toothpaste to remove stains on a light-colored carpet and scrub off the silver. A good toothpaste can be used to brush your teeth. I really like Mexidol Dent, it whitens my teeth and does not damage the enamel.

    It also helps with chafing between the legs. When I was still serving in the army, they advised me to grind him almost to the point of bleeding. I applied toothpaste at night, and by the morning it became much easier.

    From burns. Lubricate the burn area and do not wash it off for as long as possible. Repeat several times. Replaces the bandage and heals quickly.
