All of us use toothpaste every day to brush our teeth, but what you probably don’t know is that there are actually tons of other ways that you can use toothpaste as well. That’s why we’ve compiled eight ways you can use toothpaste that you likely were not aware of before.

Make a car’s headlights shine

Instead of purchasing an expensive solution at the store, you can simply apply some toothpaste to the lights. This is fitting when you think about it, as headlights are basically the teeth of your car!

Clear up pimples

You also don’t need to buy expensive skin creams when dealing with your pimples. Instead, just apply some toothpaste to the pimples before bed. By the morning, they should be all cleared up!

Shine up a phone

It’s always annoying when smudges form on your phone. When this happens, you can use toothpaste to shine up and disinfect the device.

Make mosquito bites less itchy

Few things are more annoying than the itchiness caused by mosquito bites. Thankfully, applying toothpaste to the bites will drastically decrease the itchy sensations.

Stick paper posters onto the wall

If you don’t want to leave holes or markings on your wall, you can use toothpaste to stick posters to it!

Get gum out of hair

When you get gum stuck in your hair, don’t panic. If you apply toothpaste to the gum, it will quickly crumble away.

Make diamonds shine

If you want your diamonds to shine like they are brand new, clean them with toothpaste and then use water to rinse it away. We should warn you never to do this with pearls, however, as the toothpaste will damage them.

Improve your nails

If you want your nails to be healthier, scrub them with toothpaste and a toothbrush a few times a month.
