Tooth Paste Alternative Uses - Scythe13 - 25 January 2012
This thread is the result of the "Fill Up" thread where Prep28 said about toothpaste. It got me thinking about something most people probably know, but many people could benefit from.....Alternative uses for toothpaste.
1. Cleaning out water bottles.
You know those big camping water bottles that you don't regularly use? Put some toothpaste into them, then some hot water. The disinfectant properties of the toothpaste makes the bottle sterilised, and the peppermint taste/smell stops the odors.
2. Cleaning out Cuts.
Toothpaste is an oral antiseptic. Think about it, antiseptic......dilute it a little and you can clear cuts out with it.
3. Covering Spots.
Toothpaste is still an antiseptic, however it also dries out spots and things like that.
4. Covering Insect bites.
Toothpaste is still a damn antisepic and still dries blemishes out!!!
5. Cleaning your skin.
Dilute it a bit, and you'll have a pretty minty smell. It's best not used "down there" as that WILL make you cry. I'm not sure about for women, but I assume the same. Also, not nice near the eyes! REALLY painful if you get in there.
There are loads of other uses. Google it and you'll see how awesome toothpaste is.
