Housecleaning Uses for Toothpaste

If you are looking for a way to clean off scuff marks on athletic shoes and floors and other household surfaces, or even polish silver, toothpaste might be an overlooked but very handy solution. Toothpaste is good at cleaning teeth because it contains an extremely fine abrasive and a surfactant (wetting agent) that provides a foaming and cleaning action. These same properties can help clean household surfaces. Of course, baking soda, which can be used for cleaning teeth (if you don’t gag from the awful taste), can also be used for the same type of cleaning activities mentioned in this article for toothpaste. Whether using toothpaste of baking soda, a Scrigit Scraper cleaning tool can help clean off thicker buildups and reach into corners and crevices. A paper towel or cloth put over one of the tips of the scraper could be used to help spread the toothpaste or baking soda, specially into tight spaces.
