Soap is an important hygiene product that helps to quickly cleanse the skin.

Washing hands is a procedure that people resort to several times a day. Therefore, toilet soap is used very often.

But it doesn't always help. Sometimes it makes sense to wash it and replace it with... toothpaste.

In what case will a mouthwash be more effective than soap?

When to wash your hands with toothpaste

People who love to cook often encounter such a nuisance as the appearance of a strong and unpleasant smell on their palms.

This consequence becomes apparent after cutting fish or onions.

The problem is that washing your hands with soap does little to remove this extra "aroma".

No matter how long and carefully a person carries out this procedure, the smell will still remain for a long time.

To remove the smell, you need to use toothpaste.

It is enough to apply it to the skin of your hands, rub your palms together, and then wash off the remaining product with water.

In other words, you need to act in the same way as when washing your hands with soap.

The result will not take long to appear: your palms will immediately stop smelling like onions or fish.
