It’s a combination that’s undoubtedly special, but one you won’t be able to give up once you’ve experienced it! Seeing is believing.
Two completely opposite products: Washing-up liquid and toothpaste. What do they have in common? Sure, they both have a cleaning effect, but when combined, they create a super-efficient detergent.
The benefits of toothpaste
Of course, mixing toothpaste with washing-up liquid isn’t a traditional method, but it’s certainly more than effective.
It’s well known that toothpaste is often used for many other things besides its usual use on the toothbrush for daily oral hygiene. It has excellent degreasing properties and is often used for both cleaning and body care. When applied to nails, for example, it helps to brighten and clean them. Equally useful for cleaning sneakers, clothes, walls or carpets that fall victim to hard-to-remove stains.
Its composition also makes it an excellent ally for relieving itching due to insect bites, in fact, it gives a sensation of immediate relief. Finally, toothpaste is very useful for cleaning jewelry, especially silver jewelry.

So, if toothpaste is so useful in so many different situations, why not use it for little cleanings around the house too?
Mixing toothpaste and washing-up liquid: a super cleaner
To make a cleaning product that can be used at home, on objects or surfaces you want to clean and shine, all you need to do is make a mixture of a few simple ingredients. You need washing-up liquid (even a cheaper one is fine), toothpaste, baking soda and hot water. The procedure is very simple. All you need to do is pour the whole bottle of washing-up liquid into a large bowl, into which you need to add a tablespoon of toothpaste. Don’t throw away the bottle of soap – it’ll come in handy later. Start mixing the two ingredients and try to blend them as well as possible. When it’s no longer two separate substances, but a creamy mixture, you can continue adding the other ingredients.
Add a tablespoon of bicarbonate of soda to a cup of hot water and mix well until you have a solution. Baking soda is essential for our laundry, as it has excellent disinfectant properties and is perfect for eliminating odors.

When the water and baking powder are well mixed, add them slowly to the dishwashing liquid and toothpaste mixture and stir well, pouring in a little water each time. If you keep stirring, you’ll find that the mixture takes on a creamier, frothier consistency. When you’ve finished, leave to stand for a few minutes and funnel the mixture into the bottle of washing-up liquid.
