Toothpaste Uses

PIMPLES
Use white toothpaste (not the whitening toothpaste) on breakouts. Just dab some on the breakout with a Q-tip and by morning it's gone. Also, for the blind but painful breakouts use Preparation H. It takes down the swelling and the next night use the toothpaste. Always use the treatments at night as to not disturb your skin.

BITES
Use toothpaste for bugbites and beestings. It will help stop the itching and reduce swelling. ive tried this along with some of my friends and it has worked.

NAILS
Use toothpase for cleaning your nails. Just put some on an old manual toothbrush or nailbrush, wet nails and the brush with water and scrub under your nails, you will be amazed. Big pluspoint is, while soap etc. makes my nails annoyingly soft, toothpaste does no such thing, just cleans to sparkling.

JEWELRY
Use toothpaste to clean jewelry. Put some on the piece and let set over night. Then use an electric toothbrush on it the next morning while in the shower. This CAN NOT be used on pearls (the real ones) as it will damage the finish.

DIAMONDS
Put a little toothpaste on an old toothbrush and use it to make your diamond ring sparkle instead of your teeth. Clean off the residue with a damp cloth.

SILVER
Use toothpaste and water to clean silver,

NAIL HOLES
Use plain white toothpaste as "spackle" to fill nail holes in your apartment walls before you move out.

POSTERS
Use toothpaste to put up posters without damaging the wall. Don't use it for collector posters, though, as it can damage the ink over time.

GRINDING
Use white toothpaste for grinding steel and Aluminuam. It gives a mirror finish in my machining operation.

BABY BOWS
Use gel toothpaste to keep girl babies' bows in their hair if they don't have much hair. It doesn't pull it out, just washes out.

BABY BOTTLES
Toothpaste removes the sour-milk smell Baby bottles pick up. Just put some on your bottle brush and scrub away. Be sure to rinse thoroughly.

KOOLAID®
Clean Up Stubborn Kool-Aid® Stains with a dab of toothpaste on a damp paper towel cleans up stubborn Kool-Aid stains off both skin and countertops

CRAYON
White toothpaste (not gel) will remove crayon from painted walls. Rub the marks with the toothpaste and a damp cloth. Wipe with clean water to get rid of residue.

INK & LIPSTICK
Remove ink or lipstick stains from fabric: Put non-gel toothpaste on the stain and rub the fabric vigorously together. Rinse with water. Did some of the ink come out? Great! Repeat the process a few more times until you get rid of all the ink. The same process works for lipstick. Results depend on the fabric and the ink, but it is certainly worth a try before consigning the shirt to the scrap bin.

SHARPIE
Use on things that have been accidentally marked with Sharpie--white boards, plastic tables, photocopier glass, etc. Just rub with regular toothpaste (not the fancy stuff) and a paper towel, and the marker will come right off.

STAINS
Try toothpaste on clothes it really works (it can take out all kinds of stains)!

STAINS
