It might sound odd at first, but using toothpaste on your kitchen knives is an old trick that can make your blades cleaner, shinier, and even a bit sharper-looking. Toothpaste is slightly abrasive, which makes it surprisingly effective for polishing metal and removing stubborn stains. Here’s why it works — and how to do it safely:
🌟 Why Toothpaste Works on Knives
✅ Mild abrasive action – Toothpaste contains fine particles that gently scrub away tarnish, food stains, and minor rust spots without scratching the blade.
✅ Brightens metal – The polishing effect restores shine to dull, discolored knives.
✅ Fresh scent – Toothpaste can help eliminate lingering odors on knife blades, like garlic or fish smells.
