Here’s a versatile cleaning recipe using dishwashing detergent and toothpaste that can be used to make items around the home shine. Toothpaste has gentle abrasives, and dish soap cuts through grease, making them a good combo for various surfaces. However, be cautious when using this on delicate surfaces.
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons of dishwashing detergent
- 1 tablespoon of white, non-gel toothpaste
- 1 cup of warm water
Instructions:
- In a bowl, mix the dishwashing detergent and toothpaste with the warm water until well combined.
- For sinks, faucets, or tiles, use a sponge or soft cloth to apply the mixture. Scrub gently to remove stains, water spots, and soap scum.
- For shoes, apply a small amount of the mixture using a toothbrush, scrub gently, and then wipe with a damp cloth.
- Rinse with clean water and dry with a towel.
Caution:
- Avoid using on delicate or porous surfaces like marble, granite, or unsealed wood, as the abrasives in toothpaste might scratch them.
- For skin care, like hands or feet, do not use this mixture. It’s best for surfaces and objects only.
