Cleaning With A Toothbrush!

0
  • by Melissa Maker
  • in Bathroom Cleaning · Cleaning Secrets

I’ve recently discovered that toothpaste (ideally the non-gel type and with baking soda) is a super duper cleaning product.

Why it works:

It’s got gentle abrasion and can clean tough stains. Further, use an old toothbrush to agitate the toothpaste (a-la brushing your teeth) with a bit of water and scrub in a circular motion. Almost sounds too easy but it does work.  Gently wipe off with a clean cloth and water.

What it works on:

Try it on painted walls to remove scuff marks and use it as a gentle jewelry cleaner. Let me know if you have other uses for toothpaste that you can think of!  Be gentle on painted walls, you don’t want to remove the paint!


Bonus!

Another added bonus is the minty-fresh smell you get lingering around after the cleaning task is complete. Sweet Georgia Brown!

— Melissa Maker

Melissa Maker is the founder of Clean My Space (a well-known Toronto-based cleaning service) and editor-at-large of CleanMySpace.com. Melissa is a business school grad who happened to start up a cleaning service back in 2006. Her initial cleaning knowledge ranked about a 2/10 (and she didn't really enjoy it either) so she learned everything about cleaning from the ground up. Today, she teaches her staff of 25+ about her favorite techniques and they have helped her build Toronto's best cleaning service. Further, she shares this information with the public via this blog, YouTube, Pinterest, Twitter and many Canadian news and television shows. Melissa knows that like her, there are a lot of people who don't really know how to clean (or perhaps don't like to clean either). She's known for her simple and effective cleaning tips.
