A treasure trove of toothpaste life hacks has been unearthed, revealing novel methods to spruce up your home with just the right concoction.
The “brand new information” shared on Twitter/X has taken the internet by storm as people everywhere are trying their hand at these ingenious tricks. A viral video has made the bold claim that toothpaste isn’t just for dental hygiene, but also boasts a plethora of uses from freshening up the fridge to tackling tough grease stains.
According to the clip, a simple combination of white vinegar and toothpaste can work wonders in cutting through grease. The voiceover in the video asserts: “Toothpaste with white vinegar. Powerful grease removal.”
The video doesn’t stop there; it goes on to suggest blending toothpaste with dish soap to create a DIY window cleaner.
The video is packed with useful tips, including one that uses an alcohol mix to banish rust. It seems this versatile paste also provides a hassle-free solution for cleaning fridge spills and grime.
Visuals from the clip demonstrate how effortlessly fridge shelf dirt is wiped away using the mixture.
For those grappling with stubborn fridge stains, a mix of toothpaste, baking soda, and white vinegar comes to the rescue. This hack is particularly effective for scrubbing fridge seals spotless.
There’s even a nifty technique for polishing gold and silver jewellery, which involves a concoction of salt, dish soap, toothpaste, and water, creating a potent blend that restores the shine to your precious trinkets.
However, one user issued a stern warning against the concoction of dish soap, salt and toothpaste, branding it as “absolutely horses**t.”
They cautioned: “Salt + Toothpaste will dull any precious metal. Never do this.”
Another chimed in, advising to keep toothpaste away from anything shiny as “toothpaste is abrasive and will scratch the surface”.
Some users fondly recalled other life hacks featured in the video, such as the toothpaste and soap trick used for cleaning shoes. One user reminisced: “Man! I used to use toothpaste and soap back in the day to clean my sneakers before all those crazy shoe cleaners haha those white soles used to sparkle.”
The video also showcased other hacks like placing a tube of toothpaste in the cistern to “keep the toilet fresh for three months”. Another hack demonstrated a mixture of body wash, toothpaste, floral water, salt and white vinegar in the sink as a method to remove yellow stains from white clothing.
