Also hair spray helps with stains, and shaving cream whitens your shoes.

It works on bug bites and such because it dries them out - same reason it works to dry out other kinds of sores and blisters. I have a friend who swears by it for his cold sores.

I use my non gel toothpaste to clean my diamond ring...it looks new after I'm done. Just squeeze out a little on a toothbrush, wet your ring, & scrub fairly gently, then rinse it & dry it. :)

I know that you can use toothpaste to placate burns, a friend of mine used it before and it helped, right after you get burnt put it on.

If you rub some toothpaste on a scratched cd it will polish away the scratches.

White toothpaste (not gel) will remove crayon from painted walls. Rub the marks with the toothpaste and a damp rag. Wipe with claen water to get rid of residue.

I wouldn't blame the toothpaste for damaging acne-prone skin (by patsaz). People with severe acne just seem to have that problem.

I HAVE tried it on mosquito, flea, and ant bites. It WORKS!

I've heard you can use gel toothpaste to keep girl babies' bows in their hair if they don't have much hair. It doesn't pull it out, just washes out.

hi i use toothpase for cleaning my nails. Just put some on an old manual toothbrush or nailbrush, wet nails and the brush real good with water and scrub under your nails, you will be amazed. I think this works because nails and teeth are made of the same 'stuff'. It also showed me that my facewash does nothing to dirt lol. Big pluspoint is, while soap etc. makes my nails annoyingly soft, toothpaste does no such thing, just cleans to sparkling. Mouthfreshners gels also work and are not so sharp in their flavor.

We used to use toothpaste to put up posters without damaging the wall. Don't use it for collector posters, though, as it can damage the ink over time.

Use some caution with the toothpaste acne suggestion. My daughter used this method because it worked so well. But after she got older she found it had damaged her skin. Her face now looks kind of rough.

Apparently she used too much for too long.

If the toothpaste is plain white, you can use it like "spackle" to fill nail holes in your apartment walls before you move out.

You can use toothpaste to clean jewelry. Put some on the piece and let set over night. The I use my electric toothbrush on it the next morning while I'm on the shower. This CAN NOT be used on pearls (the real ones) as it will damage the finish.

I have heard using white toothpaste (not the whitening toothpaste) on breakouts works. Just dab some on the breakout with a Q-tip and by morning it's gone. Also, for the blind but painful breakouts use Preparation H. It takes down the swelling and the next night use the toothpaste. Always use the treatments at night as to not disturb your skin.
