In daily life, toothpaste is a daily necessity that we are all familiar with. Its main purpose is to clean the mouth. However, many people may not know that toothpaste can also be used for brushing teeth.

There are many unexpected and wonderful uses. Let’s unlock the “hidden skills” of toothpaste together!

Cleaning clothing stains : If oil stains, blood stains, tea stains, etc. are accidentally stained on clothes, before washing, apply a proper amount of toothpaste on the stains, rub gently, and then rinse with clean water to effectively remove the stains. For example, lipstick marks on clothes can be wiped with toothpaste before washing, which is very effective.

Cleaning shoes : Whether it is leather shoes, sports shoes or canvas shoes, you can use toothpaste to clean them. Squeeze toothpaste on the surface of the shoes and gently scrub them with a soft brush to make the shoes look brand new. For leather shoes, toothpaste can also play a certain maintenance role and make the shoe surface more shiny.

Relieve mosquito bites : After being bitten by mosquitoes, the skin will become itchy and swollen. At this time, apply a little toothpaste. The mint ingredient in the toothpaste can have a cooling and antipruritic effect and relieve discomfort.

Treatment of minor burns : If you are accidentally scalded by boiling water or splashed by hot oil, if the wound is not damaged, apply toothpaste immediately to relieve pain and prevent blistering of the wound. However, this is only an emergency treatment, and serious burns should still be treated promptly.

Improve skin problems : For people with acne and blackheads on their faces, toothpaste can also play a certain role. Applying a small amount of toothpaste on the acne can have an anti-inflammatory and sterilizing effect, helping the acne to subside as soon as possible. But be careful, this method should not be used frequently to avoid irritating the skin.

Toothpaste performs well in cleaning, care, emergency treatment, etc. Next time when you encounter the above problems, you might as well try using toothpaste to solve them. It may bring you unexpected surprises.

However, when using toothpaste, you should also pay attention to choosing the right toothpaste according to different purposes , and avoid using toothpaste with too high fluoride content or added special ingredients, so as to avoid adverse effects on objects or the body.
