Multifunctional! 10 situations in which toothpaste can be incredibly useful

5. Clean your piano

If you own a piano, you’ll probably be familiar with the keys getting dirty. They’re easy to clean with a toothbrush and some toothpaste. It is important that you don’t add any water, though, because that might seep into the piano and cause damage. Instead, when you’re done with the brush and the toothpaste, you can remove it with a soft, moist cloth.

6. Remove stains from your carpet

Believe it or not, but even your carpet can benefit from toothpaste. Did you spill something on there? Most stains can be removed with a bit of toothpaste, a clean cloth and some lukewarm water. There’s no need to go out and buy expensive carpet cleaners or have a professional come by the house.

7. Remove pencil marks from the wall

Children sometimes have the somewhat annoying tendency to use their colouring pencils on the walls instead of their paper. The result? A wall that’s covered in pencil marks. You can easily remove these by scrubbing them away with a brush and some toothpaste. The leftover paste can be removed with a wet cloth.

8. Fill in holes in walls

If you’re planning on putting up some new wallpaper or giving your walls a fresh layer of paint, you’ll want to fill in any small holes you come across. This can easily be done with some toothpaste! Do make sure it has hardened and dried before you start painting or putting up the wallpaper.

9. Make your sneakers white again

It is undoubtedly a well-known problem: white sneakers becoming a little dingy after some time. You can clean the edges and soles of your white sneakers by scrubbing them with toothpaste and then removing it again with a soft, moist cloth.

10. Freshen up your hands

Soap works against a lot of things, but it is no match for onion or garlic. After cutting garlic or onion, your hands will smell pretty bad because the juices of these foods seep into your skin. You can smell it for hours afterwards! Luckily, this problem can be solved very easily by washing your hands with some toothpaste.
