Did you know that combining toothpaste with white wine can bring multiple surprising benefits around the house? Both of these everyday items are likely already in your home, and using them together creates a powerful cleaning duo that can tackle various tasks. Let’s explore how this simple mixture can solve common household problems without spending extra money on expensive cleaners.
1. Clean Refrigerator Door Gaskets
Refrigerator gaskets, the rubber seals around the door, often accumulate dirt and grime in their small, hard-to-reach crevices. Over time, this build-up can lead to black residue and mold growth, which may eventually contaminate your food. To clean it effectively:
What you need: Toothpaste, white wine
How to use: Mix the toothpaste and white wine together and apply it directly to the refrigerator door gasket. Let it sit for about 5 minutes. Then, wrap a damp towel around a coin or a stiff card (like a bank card) and gently scrub the dirt from the gasket.
Why it works: The alcohol in the white wine disinfects while the abrasives in the toothpaste scrub away the grime and stains. This will leave your refrigerator door gasket looking fresh and clean.
