Toothpaste: It Will Do More Than Just Clean Your Teeth

We use it everyday, yet have no idea all of the amazing things toothpaste can do beyond teaming up with a toothbrush and whitening our teeth. Aside from having proper oral health and white residue in our sinks from our children when they are done brushing, toothpaste has many uses. Have you ever wondered how to get those black scuffs out of your flooring? Try toothpaste! Lather it up, then scrub. It will come right out.

Have you ever walked into your child's bedroom to find freshly marked furniture, walls, or toys with marker? Put toothpaste on it and lather it up, then wipe it down. It will be good as new. If permanent marker has been used it will take several scrubs, especially if the marker has been there for a while. However if you get it right away, it should all come off with no problem. It works on furniture, floors, plastic, and wood.

Are you tired of your music cd's or your dvd's skipping? Try toothpaste! It will make those tunes play as though they have never seen a scratch. dvd's will also play smoothly. Toothpaste is an amazing thing for parents trying to accumulate any sort of collection pertaining to music or movies. Especially with a toddler in the house!

Are you tired of your bathroom mirrors fogging up every time you take a shower? Do you find yourself wiping it with a towel just to see yourself in the mirror? Use toothpaste or shaving cream to wash the mirror. This is an amazing trick! It lasts for quite some time too. Once every week or two should keep that mirror from ever fogging again.

Do the top of your shoes look nice but the rubber soles are discolored? Lather the sides up with some toothpaste and begin to scrub. In no time at all you will see them looking almost as good as new. Who would have thought, toothpaste for the feet?

Toothpaste also works for pimples. Especially those big ones. The ones that make us all want to hide. Just put a small dab on and let it sit on your skin overnight. Wash it off in the morning and reapply leaving it on for just a few minutes. The pimple will either diminish completely, or be ready for that squeeze you have been waiting on.

Toothpaste will also shine chrome, remove crayons, and aid as a way to hang items in your child's room without putting 100 holes in the wall. It is a good way to avoid tape stripping paint off of the walls as your teenager begins to plaster their wall with magazine pictures, etc. Toothpaste can be used for many things, so take advantage of it. There is no need to buy cd scratch remover, marker remover, or many other cleaners. Not when you have toothpaste in the bathroom anyway. Take advantage of its multiple uses, its good stuff!
