To Do with Toothpaste

-Whether you’re woodworking or going skiing or scuba diving, nothing is more frustrating (and sometimes dangerous) than fogged goggles. Prevent the problem by coating the goggles with toothpaste and then wiping them off.
-Has tickling the ivories left them a bit dingy? Clean them up with toothpaste and a toothbrush, and then wipe them down with a damp cloth. Makes sense since ivory is essentially elephant teeth. However, toothpaste will work just as well on modern pianos that usually have keys covered with plastic rather than real ivory.
-Well-used baby bottles inevitable pick up a sour-milk smell. However, toothpaste will remove the odour in a jiffy. Just put some on your bottle brush and scrub away. Make sure you rinse off the toothpaste thoroughly.
-A little toothpaste does an amazing job of removing scuffs from leather shoes. Just squirt a quick dab on the scuffed area and rub with a soft cloth, then wipe clean with a damp cloth. The leather will look like new.
-When your teenager moans about a prominent pimple, have him or her dab a bit of non-gel, non-whitening toothpaste on the offending spot, and it should be dried up by morning. The toothpaste dehydrates the pimple and absorbs the oil. This pimple-clearing remedy works best on spots that have come to a head. WARNING: This remedy may be irritating to sensitive skin. Try it on a small area of skin first.

-Did you know that toothpaste makes an excellent salve for burns.
-My favorite off-the-cuff use for toothpaste is as a freshener for my hands after I've handled onions or any other odiferous item in the kitchen. Simply smear some toothpaste in your hands, rub vigorously and rinse. Your hands will be minty clean!
-In a pinch, dab a bit of mint flavored toothpaste on a itchy welt from a bug bite. You should feel relief from the bug bite fairly quickly. Toothpaste will also soothe light burns such as a sunburn.
-Use the paste type toothpaste (NOT the gel type) to plug up holes left by nails in a wall. It will harden up and act just like any other hole filler.
