Grab Your Toothbrush

Keep old toothbrushes because they will come in handy for many different house chores. The cleaning experts at MOLLY MAID provide the following ideas.

• Use a little shaving cream and a toothbrush to remove crayon marks on the wall.

• When dirt and mud gets stuck in the soles of your shoes, use a toothbrush to loosen it.

• Stains on the floor and kitchen surfaces? Use non-gel whitening toothpaste and a toothbrush to remove them.

• To remove grime between tiles in the kitchen and bathroom, combine 1 part Borax, 2 parts baking soda, and 2 parts water. Dampen a toothbrush, add some cleaner and scrub away.

• Toothbrushes are perfect for reaching those hard-to-reach spaces and corners in appliances such as toasters, microwaves and coffee makers. Use a toothbrush to clean away crumbs and stains.
