My daughter used Colgate for pimples.
put a little toothpaste on the bathroom mirror to keep it from fogging up while you take a shower.
use it to clean the gunk off your iron, put in on and wipe it off with a wet cloth.
Wipe a little on the scratches of a CD and they will come out. Wipe with a dry cloth.

I use my favorite toothpaste Colgate for many different things.
Polish silverware, silver, or gold. Colgate will shine up silver and gold. Rinse thoroughly.
Clean piano keys. Squeeze Colgate on a damp cloth. Rub the keys well, wipe dry, and buff with a soft, dry cloth. After all, ivory is made from an elephant's tusk.
Remove ink spots from cloth. Squeeze Colgate on spot, scrub, and rinse thoroughly.
Dry up acne pimples. Dab Colgate on pimples as you would use Clearasil.
Remove crayon from walls. Brush the marks with Colgate on an old toothbrush.
Remove scratches on glassware. Polish with a dollop of Colgate.
Deodorize smelly hands. Squeeze an inch of Colgate into your palm and wash hands under running water.
Remove Kool-aid moustaches from kids' faces. Rub on Colgate and rinse thoroughly.
Remove tar from the bottom of bare feet. Squeeze on Colgate and rub.
Deodorize "sour" baby bottles. Scrub with Colgate and a bottle brush.
Remove scuffs on shoes. Apply Colgate with a tissue, rub, and wipe off.
Fill small holes in walls. Use a small dab of Colgate as emergency spackling to fill in small holes in plaster walls. Let dry before painting.

My mom used non gel toothpaste to clean her glasses. Sweared by it! I've used it to patch (small) holes in apartment walls and also to clean up shoes.

well white toothpaste you can use to clean your shower or bathtub it just takes a lot of scrubbing and a tube of toothpaste (be sure to rinse the tub or shower after though) and it works wonders.
