Why You Should Poke a Pin Through a Toothpaste Tube: Here's What You'll Get - An Interesting Household Trick
Experienced housewives know: toothpaste can be used for more than just brushing teeth.
The hygiene product can also act as a household cleaner.
In addition, the tube of paste is often used as a toilet freshener.
Why pierce the tube with a pin
In order for the packaging of a hygiene product to actually become a source of a pleasant smell, it needs to be pierced with something.
Usually experienced housewives use a pin for this.
But you can use any other similar device. For example, a sewing needle or an awl.
In any case, you need to act very carefully and cautiously: don’t get hurt.
There must be several holes on the tube: without them, water will not be able to penetrate into the packaging.
Pierced the tube? Put it in the toilet tank!
Now the toothpaste will act as a cleaning agent and freshener for plumbing.
Each time you flush, the inside walls of the toilet will be cleaned well. In addition, the stench will be masked by a pleasant smell.
Of course, we can't talk about a 100% disinfectant effect. But the plumbing will get dirty much more slowly.
