The treasure trove of toothpastes has been discovered, and they reveal new ways to brighten up your home with just the right mix.
“Leaks” shared on Twitter/X have taken the Internet by storm as people everywhere try their hand at these ingenious tricks. A viral video has made a bold claim that toothpaste is not just for dental hygiene, but also has numerous uses, from freshening up the fridge to removing stubborn grease stains.
According to the clip, a simple combination of white vinegar and toothpaste can work wonders in cutting fat. The video caption claims: “Toothpaste with white vinegar. Effective degreasing.”
The video doesn’t stop there; it suggests mixing toothpaste with dishwashing liquid to create a DIY window cleaner.
The video is full of helpful tips, including one that uses an alcohol mixture to repel rust. It looks like this versatile paste also offers an effortless solution to cleaning up fridge spills and grime.
The pictures of the clips show how effortlessly the dirt on the refrigerator shelf is wiped off with the mixture.
For those struggling with stubborn fridge stains, a mixture of toothpaste, baking soda and white vinegar can help. This hack is especially effective for cleaning refrigerator seals spotless.
There’s even a nifty technique for polishing gold and silver jewelry that involves mixing salt, dishwashing liquid, toothpaste, and water to create a powerful mixture that restores the shine to your precious trinkets.
However, one user warned against the mixture, which uses dish soap, salt and toothpaste, labeling it “absolutely horse**t”.
They warned: “Salt + toothpaste tarnishes all precious metals. Never do this.”
Another shouted, advising to keep toothpaste away from anything shiny because “toothpaste is abrasive and scratches the surface.”
Some users fondly recalled other life hacks featured in the video, such as the toothpaste and soap tricks used to clean shoes. One user recalled: “Man! I used to use toothpaste and soap to clean my sneakers before all those crazy shoe cleaners, haha those white soles sparkled.”
The video also featured other hacks, such as putting a tube of toothpaste in a container to “keep the toilet fresh for three months.” Another hack featured a mixture of body wash, toothpaste, flower water, salt and white vinegar in the sink to remove yellow stains from white clothes.
