Whiten your sneakers

If the rubber trim around your sneakers is dirty or scuffed, a little toothpaste cleaning hack can make a huge difference. Put a dab of toothpaste on an old toothbrush and start scrubbing the trim clean.

Then, be sure to use a clean, damp cloth to wipe away any toothpaste residue and leave them to dry.

Polish jewelry and silver

Toothpaste can bring back the sparkle if your silverware or jewelry has started looking rather dull. First, squeeze a pea-sized portion of toothpaste onto an old toothbrush or microfiber cloth.

Then, rub it onto your silver in circular motions to polish and clean any tarnish that might have built up. Let it sit for about 5 minutes before rinsing the toothpaste thoroughly with warm water and then dry it.

If you’re using toothpaste when learning to clean jewelry, don’t forget to choose a type that contains no tartar control, whitening agents, or any other extras.

And NEVER use this toothpaste cleaning hack on gemstones or diamonds because this might be too abrasive and will scratch the surface.

  1. You can also use toothpaste for burns, scratches, rashes, and insect bites on your skin. this will cool the area and take away any pain on your skin, I know, this is great to use. I used it on my daughter when she had rashes on her skin, The following day it had improved 90%. The rash was almost gone.

  2. I have many plants and when I need to remove the ones hanging from the ceiling on hooks I used the plain white toothpaste and squirt some in and match the style of pattern and it works great !!

    Toothpaste also helps patch small nail holes in my Plaster walls ( the ones that are white )

  4. This pin is disgraceful. The U.S. has no business backing the brutal genocide of the Palestinian people! Israel had brutalized and murdered them for decades so October 7, 2023 was not the beginning. Over 5,000 Palestinian have been abducted and imprisoned in Israeli custody. They are being horribly abused. Our alliance with the butcher, Netanyahu is an abomination!!!

  5. I use toothpaste and a little baking soda on all of my jewelry and it does nothing but make them SPARKLE!
