Not all housewives have abandoned time-tested methods of tidying up dishes and other kitchen utensils.

Even if you have a dishwasher, many people keep a tube of cheap toothpaste next to their cleaning products.

We'll tell you why this is necessary and what the paste can clean that the dishwasher can't handle.

Copper and silver

It will be easier to polish pots, Turks and other simple copper utensils to a shine using paste.

Simply apply it to a soft, clean cloth and rub the stained surface, then rinse with warm water.

Another material that requires delicate cleaning is silverware. You need to act in the same way as in the case of copper utensils.

Cutting boards

It won't disinfect, but toothpaste can get rid of the smell of fish or garlic without much difficulty.

Plastic containers

Everyone knows how difficult it is to wash grease off plastic containers. But in the case of toothpaste, the problem is solved very easily.

Apply, wipe with a brush or sponge - rinse with water and do not worry about the health hazard of surfactants.

Coffee stain

Any remaining coffee and tea stains on your cups can be removed with a small amount of toothpaste.

You might as well clean a countertop if there are dried tea or coffee grinders on it.
