Household tip: Toothpaste cleans more than you think!

Toothpaste contains a number of ingredients that kill and neutralize bacteria. It is therefore not surprising that you can also use it to remove stains and clean things...

• The sole of your iron: When you use an iron often, the bottom gets very dirty over time. This sometimes causes stains on your clothes. Fortunately, you can avoid this with the help of toothpaste. Put some toothpaste on a chamois cloth and rub it over the bottom of your iron. Do not remove the toothpaste residue immediately, but let it sit for a few minutes. Then dry your iron with a clean kitchen towel.
• Taps: Are you bothered by limescale on your shower or sink tap? Take a chamois cloth and put a small amount of toothpaste on it. Rub it over the stains until you notice your taps shining again.
• The glass of your watch: rub some toothpaste on the glass to remove small scratches. Then clean with a damp cloth.
• Silverware: silver becomes really shiny with toothpaste! Put some toothpaste on a cloth and rub it over your silverware. Rinse with warm water and then dry with a clean towel.
• Ink stains on your clothes: use toothpaste or whole milk for this. Rinse with cold water.
• Sports shoes and sneakers with a white trim and/or sole: Has the white sole of your sports shoe turned black and you can't get it clean with clear water? Then put a small amount of toothpaste on a toothbrush and rub it over your white sole. You will see that your sole turns white again. Afterwards, wipe away any remaining toothpaste with a damp cloth.
