For many, cleaning is a never-ending chore: dust, grease stains, limescale, dirt on the floor… To-do lists grow, but energy and desire dwindle. Store-bought cleaning products are often disappointing: they’re expensive, and the results are subpar. They also contain a ton of harsh chemicals that are harmful to both your health and the environment.

But there’s one unexpected trick that really makes life easier! Mixing toothpaste with dishwashing liquid creates a versatile and highly effective cleaning solution. It’s inexpensive, safer than commercial alternatives, and works great on even the toughest stains.

You’ll need:

150 ml dishwashing liquid

1 tablespoon toothpaste

150 ml water

1 tablespoon baking soda

Instructions:

Combine the toothpaste and dishwashing liquid and mix thoroughly. Add water and stir again until smooth.

Add baking soda and stir again.

Pour the mixture into an empty detergent bottle.

Where to use?

In the kitchen: Perfectly removes grease from countertops, stovetops, and range hoods.

In the bathroom: Removes grease from sinks and tiles.

At home: Removes dirt and marks from floors and other surfaces.

Toothpaste acts as a mild abrasive, helping remove burnt-on or stubborn stains. Dishwashing liquid effectively dissolves grease, while baking soda neutralizes odors and enhances the cleaning effect.

The result is a powerful, versatile, and eco-friendly home cleaner—without unnecessary expenses or chemicals.
