Use toothpaste to clean mud or scuffs from shoes before you get home.
Rub gently, then wipe with a damp cloth.
Repel Bugs
In a pinch, toothpaste can deter small insects from landing on sticky surfaces or dashboards.
Apply a thin line around areas where pests enter or gather.
Tips & Tricks
Always use plain white toothpaste, not gel or colored varieties, to avoid stains.
Keep a small travel-sized tube in the glove compartment for emergencies.
Toothpaste works best on fresh smudges or light scratches — for deeper damage, professional care is needed.
Closing Thoughts
A simple tube of toothpaste can do far more than clean teeth. With just a little creativity, it becomes a versatile tool that makes your car cleaner, fresher, and even safer. Keep one handy, and you’ll never underestimate this everyday hero again.
