10 Amazing Uses For Toothpaste

6. Clean your Chrome

Toothpaste can bring up a beautiful shine to your bathroom and kitchen chrome fittings (taps etc). Just apply some toothpaste to them with a damp cloth, give it a good wipe over and then wipe off with a clean damp cloth!

7. Jewellery Cleaner

Spruce up your silver and gold jewellery with some toothpaste. Apply a small mount and very gently rub it over the jewellery then rinse or wipe off with a damp sponge and dry with a soft towel.
