We know that toothpaste helps our teeth shine, but what else can it clean? Here are 5 of our favorite cleaning hacks:

1. Headlights

One of toothpaste’s best-kept secrets can make your high beams brighter!Spread the paste evenly over your headlights. Scrub slowly with an old rag and watch those lights shine! To finish, rinse with water. *This doesn’t work on glass headlights, so make sure you double-check before you clean.

2. Shoes

The sole of your muddy sneakers desperately need it. All you need is an old toothbrush and some non-gel toothpaste. Scrub for a few minutes, and then wipe down with a damp cloth.

3. Diamonds

Skip the jeweler and clean your bling at-home. Use warm water and toothpaste to scrub the diamond with an old toothbrush. You stone should shine after about 1 minute of cleaning. *Do not use if your diamond has a gold setting, as toothpaste may be too abrasive.

4. Hands

Attention, campers! When short on storage during a weekend backpack, 2 become one with toothpaste. Simply sprinkle, dab and rub your hands together. Voila! Instant deodorizer.

5. Clothing

This one works great on food and drink stains! Put non-gel toothpaste on the stain and rub fabric vigorously. Rinse with water. If needed, repeat the process a few more times until the stain is gone.
