Everyday Hacks That Make Us Feel Like We’re Winning at Life

Here’s another surprising use for toothpaste: cleaning your sticky pots and pans. Instead of using your regular grease-cutting soap, try scrubbing with your toothpaste instead! It sounds highly unusual, but it can work wonders in getting rid of stuck-on stubborn food without making your arm feel like falling off from endless scrubbing.

Apply the toothpaste to the bottom of your pan, and give it a really good cleaning before turning on the warm water to rinse away the grease. You’ll probably need to keep rubbing it for a while, but the crusty food will come off much easier than with just regular dish soap.
