Another great trick is to squirt a dab of toothpaste on a cloth, then use it to clean away scuffs on leather shoes. Just make sure to wipe away any excess with a damp cloth.

If you have some reusable bottles that have started to smell a bit, like thermoses or baby bottles, you can get rid of the smell with toothpaste. Just use it like you would dish soap – make sure to rub it in and then rinse thoroughly.
