Toothpaste makes all sorts of things gleam

By mudlark • February 6th, 2008

Thanks to Joey Green’s site, Wacky Uses, for letting us know about these! Some of them are pretty off the wall, and they used Colgate regular flavor for these.

Polish silverware, silver, or gold. Colgate will shine up silver and gold. Rinse thoroughly. But I’d prefer to do it the easier way.
Clean piano keys. Squeeze Colgate on a damp cloth. Rub the keys well, wipe dry, and buff with a soft, dry cloth. After all, ivory is made from an elephant’s tusk.
Remove ink spots from cloth. Squeeze Colgate on spot, scrub, and rinse thoroughly.
Dry up acne pimples. Dab Colgate on pimples as you would use Clearasil.
Remove crayon from walls. Brush the marks with Colgate on an old toothbrush. That’s right – don’t brush you teeth, brush your walls! Seriously though, I have to try this with the crayon marks in my son’s room. I wonder if it would work on upholstered furniture? I’ll let you know.
Remove scratches on glassware. Polish with a dollop of Colgate.
Deodorize smelly hands. Squeeze an inch of Colgate into your palm and wash hands under running water.
Remove Kool-aid moustaches from kids’ faces. Rub on Colgate and rinse thoroughly.
Remove scuffs on shoes. Apply Colgate with a tissue, rub, and wipe off.

I never tried tooth paste on an ink stain before…Interesting. I guess there is alcohol in there. I’ll try it on my next ink stain. I get them all the time
