To polish copper and get rid of tarnish, use toothpaste and a soft cloth. Use a soft circular motion to gently rub toothpaste on the metal; the tarnish will be cleaned up by the cloth.
Clean Copper
Once the copper has regained its shine, rinse it with hot water and dry it with a fresh cloth. Apply the toothpaste to the copper and let it stay for a few minutes to remove deep tarnish before polishing and washing.

Over time, hot hair styling products like flat irons, curling irons, and hot combs may accumulate a sticky, gummy buildup. Use toothpaste to get rid of dead skin cells, styling product residue, and hair's natural oils.
Clean Hot Hair-Styling Tools
To remove the muck, apply some toothpaste on a dry cloth and scrub the surface briskly. The style tool should then be allowed to dry before use after being cleaned of any toothpaste or product residue with a wet cloth.

Similar to hot styling tools, an iron's soleplate can accumulate accumulation over time, which will impair its performance. To eliminate product buildup, such as that from starch or sizing, or to erase scorch marks, use toothpaste.
Clean Iron Soleplates
Before using toothpaste to remove buildup from the soleplate and cleaning it with a clean, damp cloth afterward, make sure the iron is absolutely cool.

Use toothpaste to quickly remove soap scum buildup from sinks, shower doors, and fiberglass shower enclosures.

Use toothpaste to polish your car's headlights back to nearly new condition if they're shining a little less brilliantly than they once did.
Defog Headlights
To get rid of dirt, tar, insects, and small scratches, squeeze a small amount of toothpaste onto a damp microfiber cloth or sponge and wipe the headlights vigorously in a circular motion. The headlights should then be cleaned with a fresh, wet cloth.
