Haha, been there myself—tried toothpaste on sunglasses once and ended up with a foggy mess. You're totally right, teeth enamel is way tougher than lenses. But hey, experimenting is half the fun... at least now we know better, right?
Haha, the sunglasses thing sounds exactly like something I'd try. Once I thought toothpaste would be great for taking scratches out of my kid's plastic toy car windshield... nope, just ended up looking like it drove through a fog storm. But you're right, experimenting is part of the adventure. At least now we have funny stories to tell and some wisdom to pass along, right?
On a brighter note, toothpaste does actually work wonders on crayon marks on walls—saved me from repainting an entire room after one particularly creative afternoon. So hey, maybe we're onto something after all... just gotta pick our battles (and surfaces) carefully next time.
I've heard about the crayon thing too, but honestly, toothpaste never worked for me. Maybe it's the type I used? Tried it on some marker stains once and ended up with a minty-smelling mess instead. Baking soda paste did the trick though—less sticky and easier cleanup. Guess toothpaste isn't always the miracle worker it's cracked up to be... or maybe I'm just unlucky!
I feel your pain on the toothpaste thing. A while back, I read somewhere that toothpaste could buff out scratches on phone screens. Thought I'd give it a shot since my screen looked like it'd been through a war zone. Grabbed some random whitening toothpaste from the bathroom—figured whitening meant extra powerful or something—and went to town rubbing it in circles. Long story short, ended up with a cloudy, minty-smelling screen that looked worse than before. Had to spend ages cleaning it off and still had scratches staring back at me.
Funny enough, though, toothpaste did save me once when I spilled coffee on my white sneakers. Scrubbed gently with an old toothbrush and some basic paste (no fancy whitening this time), and they came out surprisingly clean. Maybe it's all about matching the right toothpaste to the right disaster? Or maybe it's just luck... who knows.
"Maybe it's all about matching the right toothpaste to the right disaster? Or maybe it's just luck... who knows."
Haha, yeah, toothpaste can be surprisingly versatile, but definitely not a miracle-worker. I've had some luck using it to polish silver jewelry—just a tiny bit rubbed gently with a soft cloth brought back the shine nicely. But screens? Learned the hard way myself that toothpaste and tech don't mix. Minty fresh phone isn't exactly what I was going for either...
