🧼 How to Use Toothpaste on a Knife — Step-by-Step
You’ll need:
- A non-gel, non-whitening toothpaste (plain white is best)
- A soft cloth or sponge
- Warm water
- A clean, dry towel
Instructions:
- Apply a pea-sized amount of toothpaste to the knife blade.
- Use a cloth or sponge to gently rub the toothpaste over the surface in small circular motions.
- Pay extra attention to any rust spots or dull areas.
- Rinse the knife thoroughly with warm water.
- Dry completely with a clean towel to prevent any new rust from forming.
Important Note: Do not use toothpaste on serrated or specialty knives unless you’re confident it won’t damage the blade.
⚠️ What to Watch Out For
- Don’t use whitening toothpaste with hydrogen peroxide or microbeads, as it may be too abrasive or leave residue.
- Always dry your knife completely after cleaning to prevent rust from returning.
- While this hack works great for stainless steel, avoid using it on delicate or coated blades.
🧠 Final Thoughts: A Weird Trick That Actually Works
