9. Use toothpaste to remove stains
Who knew toothpaste could be so useful? Other than using it to clean your teeth (or polish your car headlights as explained in number 2), it can be used for a wide variety of tasks. One use that may surprise you is removing stains from your car. Whether you’re dealing with stains on the upholstery, carpets, or exterior paint, toothpaste can be an effective way to lift and remove stubborn stains.
Here’s how to use toothpaste to remove stains from your car:
- You’ll need a tube of toothpaste (preferably a whitening variety), a soft cloth, and a small bowl of water.
- Begin by applying a small amount of toothpaste to the stain. Rub the toothpaste into the stain using a circular motion, applying moderate pressure.
- Once the toothpaste is applied to the stain, allow it to sit for a few minutes to allow it to work its magic.
- After the toothpaste has had a chance to sit, use a damp cloth to wipe away the excess toothpaste. Be sure to rinse the cloth frequently to avoid spreading the toothpaste around.
- If the stain is particularly stubborn, you may need to repeat the process a few times.
