7. Fight Cavities and Grime
Toothpaste doesn’t just clean your teeth, you know. While toothpaste is your minty-fresh go-to for dental hygiene, it should also top your list for common cleaning tasks such as:
- Cleaning chrome
- Removing crayon marks from walls
- Removing stains from carpets
- Cleaning shower doors
- Cleaning your iron

8. Skip the Self-Clean Function
A lot of ovens boast a self-cleaning function. However, this function either runs the risk of burning out a fuse or, honestly, not making much of a difference. That’s why you should turn to three go-to home cleaning staples: water, baking soda and vinegar.
Mix up a paste of baking soda and water, then spread it inside your oven — just not on exposed heating elements. Let it sit overnight, and then use a plastic scraper and a rag to remove the paste and the grime. If a baking soda haze remains, use a 50/50 mix of water and vinegar to wipe it up.

9. Spritz Away Odors
Vodka isn’t exactly a pantry staple like baking soda and vinegar, but from a cleaning hack standpoint, it should be. Keeping a bottle of cheap don’t-care-if-this-is-only-used-for-cleaning vodka on hand gives you everything you need to deodorize anything from mattresses to kitchen towels to sneakers.
