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.
