Most of us throw away toothpaste tubes once they seem “empty,” but what if they could serve a second life? Toothpaste is not just for your teeth—it’s a versatile household helper that’s worth keeping until the very last squeeze.

How to Reuse Toothpaste
1. Shine Your Jewelry

Rub a small amount of toothpaste onto tarnished silver or dull jewelry with a soft cloth. Rinse and dry—your pieces will sparkle like new.

2. Remove Stubborn Stains

Toothpaste works well on minor stains:

Shoes: Rub a dab on white sneakers, then wipe clean.

Walls: Erase crayon marks or scuffs with a damp cloth and toothpaste.

3. Clean Household Items

Bathroom Fixtures: Apply to faucets and sinks to remove water spots and buildup.

Glass & Mirrors: Use a tiny amount to remove smudges for a streak-free shine.

4. Polish Your Gadgets

Gently rub a small dab on scratched phone or tablet screens (avoid the camera lens) with a microfiber cloth. It can help reduce minor scratches.
