Toothpaste is more than just for teeth!

As I started couponing, I found out that getting toothpaste for free was a simple task. I also follow a couple different blogs that lets me know what the latest coupon deal is and sometimes get some great insights. Thanks to TheKrazyCouponLady, I now know that there's more things to do with toothpaste than just brushing my teeth. I've picked out the ones that I found interesting and useful. Feel free to read her entire blogpost.

Remove Scuff Marks. Just a dab of toothpaste can remove scuff marks from your favorite pair of leather shoes. Just stick a little on the scuff marks, rub the area with a soft cloth, and wipe clean with a damp cloth. You will keep them looking like new.

Clean the “burnt goo” Off Your Iron. Avoid those nasty burned gunk marks that make you throw away your clothing items! Non-gel toothpastes contain a mild abrasive, which is just what you need to scrub the “gunk” off the plate of your iron. Apply it to your iron while it’s cool and unplugged, scrub with a rag, then rinse well.

Baby Bottle Deodorizer. After a lot of use, baby bottles can begin to smell like sour milk. Toothpaste will remove this odor! Just put a little bit on the bottle brush and start scrubbing. Be sure to rinse the bottle out well with hot water.

Mirror Defogger. Hate coming out of the shower to a fogged up mirror? Next time spread a little non-gel toothpaste onto the mirror and wipe it off before stepping into the shower. When you’re done with your shower, you will step out to a clear mirror!

Shine Your Chrome. Smear toothpaste on your chrome items, polish the chrome piece with a soft, dry cloth, then wipe clean to a brilliant shine. Sure, there are chrome cleaners out there, but this way you are avoiding the cost as well as the chemicals!

Clean Your Bathroom Sink. Non-gel toothpastes work just as well as any other bathroom cleaner when it comes to cleaning out your sink. Toothpaste is always handy in the bathroom. Just dab some on a sponge, scrub, and rinse clean.

Clean Crayon Marks Off Walls. When your children decide to act like Monet on your kitchen walls, just grab a tube, a rag or scrub brush, dab a little on the wall and start scrubbing. The fine abrasive in the toothpaste will take away the crayon marks. Rinse well with water.

Hang Posters on the wall. I love this toothpaste tip! Just put a little dab in each corner of the poster and a few in-between on the edges. Put your poster up and it will stick like glue. When you get ready to remove it, it will come off easily with no holes or damage to the paint or walls.

Fill holes in the wall. An old but a great tip! Do you have ugly nail holes showing? Just a little white toothpaste will fill in the hole instantly. Let it dry, and you can paint over it.
