We've all spilled something in the fridge and only realized this later. And it's only when we detect an unpleasant odor in the fridge that we discover this - now turning - spillage.

At this point, we are forced to clean out the fridge. In the case of removing stubborn dirt, this can be challenging. So, it there any way to do this chore quickly and effectively? Well, help can come from the bathroom: have you ever tried using toothpaste as a cleaning agent?

Toothpaste is one of those personal hygiene products that everyone has in the bathroom and which can also be useful for a myriad of cleaning tasks around the house.

Amongst those, the removal of dirt and stains from the refrigerator is one: any type of toothpaste can be used, although usually, in these cases, white paste brands (or those without microgranules) are recommended.

The method of use is intuitive: take a soft cloth, or even an old towel and moisten just a bit. To this, apply very little toothpaste, and start rubbing directly on the stain/dirt. Moisten the rest of the cloth to remove the toothpaste along with the dirt. It won't take long for you to clean your fridge!

Using toothpaste in the way described above will also leave a great smell. But toothpaste is also useful for other things:

  • In/on the door seals, toothpaste helps remove dirt and acts on any mold stains! We recommend using a white toothpaste, non-gel and without microgranules;
  • On the external surface of the fridge (especially if it's metal), using toothpaste is one of the methods to use to remove streaks and grease stains, and make the surface shine again;

It is important to only use small quantities of toothpaste so that it is easy to remove and to prevent streaking.

Have you ever used toothpaste in these ways?
