Arty Toothpaste Uses

There are more applications for toothpaste, besides cleaning teeth and creating art. You may already have heard a few of them, but here are some which I wasn't aware of and thought they would be of interest and could come in handy at one point.

- Toothpaste is also a good way to clean, shine and strengthening fingernails. You can achieve that by scrubbing the underneath and tops of the nails.

- Gel toothpaste can be used when you run out of, or instead of hair gel. Since it is made with the same ingredients, it will style and hold your hair firmly in place.

- A short scrub with toothpaste will get rid of any smells on your hands. That is good to know after having handled garlic, onions and other foods which leave a not so pleasant scent lingering on your hands and fingers.

- Toothpaste is an excellent stain remover for clothes and carpets. Apply it directly onto the stain and rub clothes firmly until the stain is gone and use a brush for the carpet. Rinse immediately and do not use toothpaste with whitening ingredients; it can bleach the material!

- The same above method is also good for cleaning off dirt and scuffs on leather and running shoes.

These are quite some creative solutions, huh? I haven't tried them yet, but I will certainly keep them in mind!
