Wengie: Hi guys, it's Wengie, welcome back, and cross-eye hug! So, today, we're doing some toothpaste hacks, that I found online, some of them are pretty cool, and some of them kinda seem quite questionable, so, I'm gonna be doing 15 of them to the test today, right now, I'm running a Mac - Book Air giveaway, and all you have to do to enter, is to subscribe to this channel, oh my gosh, guys, huge announcement, I've been working on a secret project in China for the past six months, I can finally show you guys something, it's my first, official music video guys, and, guess what, it is now on the charts in China, which is crazy, this won't have been possible without you guys, I owe so much to you guys, love you guys so much, and thank you so much for the support, I've linked the music video down below, so, don't forget to check it, and subscribe to my music channel because I promise I'll be releasing even songs soon!

*Music playing*

Wengie: Alright guys, let's jump right into the hacks testing! Let's go!

*Music playing*

Wengie: So, I have these super old rings from a long time ago, they've got like black stuff on it, it used to be silver guys, I remember when these were super sparkly, and silver, apparently, you can use toothpaste to clean these with a toothbrush, and this particular ring guys, I don't know if you guys know it's a Tiffany ring, and, it cost me three hundred dollars, so, if we could save this one, this would really be awesome, so, let's give it a shot, so, this hack, in theory, is actually pretty simple, you just squeeze out a bit of toothpaste onto your brush, and then, scrub away at your jewellery, I'm just making sure I'm getting all the nooks, and crannies here, and, get in there, get in all the little corners right there, hey, now, it looks a lot brighter guys, it was great, and now, it's like literally silver, look at all those like black little bits, that were on the band, they're all gone, is it now a $300 ring? It looked like it cost five dollars before, I feel like it's a lot more reflective now, I can see it, it's really shiny, it just shows how dirty my rings were, that's kind of embarrassing!

*Music playing*

Wengie: Okay guys, so, I'm actually pretty impressed with how this hack did because it's just toothpaste, you could get it from your bathroom, and, I've saved some rings, that literally look like they need to be thrown out, so, I give this hack, a thumbs up!

*Music playing*

Wengie: So, this next hack helps you get rid of tea, and coffee stains from cups, or in my case, a thermos, I love this, I drank tea from it all the time, and now, it just looks pretty gross, it is very stained, so, I'm hoping this hack is gonna work, so, I can use it again without looking into it, and, seeing the depth of brown, let's give it a go, as you can see, I picked my most used, and stained thermos here, it's kind of gross, and I'm a little bit embarrassed to show you guys, so, I'm really hoping this hack works, I see some toothpaste directly into the thermos, and, added some water, and, just started scrubbing, it was kind of hard to tell to see if it's working, or not, because the toothpaste covered everything, after I was done, I just rinse everything out, and, here's the end result, okay, I'm gonna pour this out, so, I can have a look at how clean it is, whoa, there's no stains left, I'm gonna rinse this out , and I'll be back!

*Music playing*

Wengie: I'm very happy, it almost looks new, I haven't seen this cup so clean for a very long time, definitely, this hacks works, all the tea stains, oh god, I've been washing it with detergent for ages, and, it hasn't lifted the stain, so, this is amazing, I'm gonna give this hack a big thumbs up!

00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:58,180 *Music playing*

Wengie: So, the next life hack can make your matches water-proof, but, apparently, if you put them with toothpaste, even if they get wet, let's say if you're camping, and, it rains, you can still use them, so, let's give it a go, just to demonstrate a comparison, I drop some clean matches into a cup of water, first, next, let's get the heads of a few matchsticks into the toothpaste tube, and, make sure to cut the red part completely, and, drop these into the water as well, when I started noticing the toothaste starting to melt, I got a bit worried, but, let's see what happens next, alright, so, I'm gonna take one, that we've soaked in water, that's pretty dry, let's see if we can light it!

(Noise)

Wengie: Nope, okay, I'm gonna take one with the toothpaste, see if we can light it, wow, alright guys, so, this actually worked, I actually thought when it was uploading in the water, and the toothpaste was coming off, I was worried that it wasn't gonna work because I could actually see the toothpaste melt off, but, it ended up working, so, I'm really surprised, I think what it did was created a great coating around the red part, so, that the water didn't get through, and, make it soggy, in a way, it is super useful, you can use these for camping if it's like about to rain, so, you also have matches, that work, so, I'm gonna give this hack a thumbs up!

*Music playing*

Wengie: So, this next hack says, that you can seal these card envelope things with toothpaste, instead of licking it, yeah, this might be useful for like germaphobe, but, don't want to lick their envelopes, or, if your envelopes happens to be super dirty, and, you don't know it's been, so, let's give it a go, yes, I'm gonna take a super small amount because we don't want too much come on up close, I took a small amount of toothpaste, and just applied it to the sticky part, and, hello, okay, it didn't work, so, I tried using more toothpaste, and, managed to actually stick it down, but then, I realised it wasn't very secure, and, I could easily open it again, it doesn't feel very strong, the seal, pretty easy to open guys, how'd, it didn't work out really well, I'm sure it's good for like those sides you want to seal, but not really seal, but, if you actually want to close up an envelope, this ain't gonna work, just use some water ion your fingers, put it on the glue, I think what happened was toothpaste created a barrier between the paper, and the actual glue, and, that's why it isn't sticking very well, so I think this has worked for you guys, tell us down below because I can't see it working for anyone, so, I'm gonna give this hack a thumbs down!

*Music playing*

Wengie: So, the next hack says that you can make a stress ball out of some toothpaste, and two balloons, I guess you can call this like a DIY life hack, which is my favourite, so, let's go, just pull out your balloon over the toothpaste opening, and, squeeze as much as you can into it, and tie it off, yeah, that's actually quite satisfying, oh, look at that next, I cut out a few holes out of a second balloon, and then, used it to cover my first balloon, honestly, this was more like a DIY hack, but, I loved it, oh my gosh, I said they're just squeezing these things for like thirty minutes because it was just so mesmerizing!

(Noise, inaudible speech)

*Music playing*

Wengie: Alright guys, I must admit this is really fun, like, I didn't expect it to be so fun, you definitely have to try it with the second balloon on top because look at it, it's just, I've never had a stress ball like this, I've rarely had ones, that are round, this one looks like a lemon, and, it grows pimples, it's pretty fun, pretty cool, huh, try it especially if you know you have like nothing to do in the weekend, so, this works, and, it is relieving my stress, how could this not relieve your stress, I'm gonna give this hack a thumbs up!

*Music playing*

Wengie: Okay, so this next life hack is using toothpaste to clean a mirror, or no mirror in your eye-shadow palette, I love this palette, you can see it's been well used, it's kind of beaten up, and the mirror well, you can't really even use the mirror, and, you also gonna use some toothpaste to clean it, let's try, basically, this is pretty simple, just squeeze out some toothpaste onto your mirror, and wipe it all over the entire surface, so much stuff on this, is even like eyelash glue, I can see, see all that black stuff is biologically, and, I think, that's stuck onto the mirror, next, take some tissues, or a damp towel, and, just clean it off, and, it's as simple as that!

*Music playing*

Wengie: Alright guys, so, the mirror is clean, I can see myself in it now, I'll probably start using this palette again now, that I have a mirror, that I can see with, so, this hack definitely worked, and, it was super easy, so, I'm gonna give this a thumbs up!

*Music playing*

Wengie: I guess, I love sewing, but be not knowingly the most, is trying to get this thread through this tiny, little needle hole, but apparently, you can use toothpaste at the end of the thread to help you get it through the hole, so, let's give it a shot, and see if it works, what I'm gonna do here, just tie the thread the needle without using anything first, and, just see how long it takes me!

*Music playing*

Wengie: You won't go through the needle lucky, okay guys, I'm sorry, but, I was honestly trying, it was so hard, anyways, now, let's just try with some toothpaste on the end, even with my shaky hands, I managed to get it, second go, which really surprised me, because it's never that easy for me!

*Music playing*

Wengie: Ahhhhhhhh!

Wengie: Okay, so, I was actually surprised, it worked, on my doubts with this one, but, it actually helped a lot to make the thread a lot stiffer at the ends regionally, the start is your fluffy, toothpaste like unplucked it, I think you could probably use your saliva, or some water, but, I think, the toothpaste was a bit thicker than like say, your saliva, and water, so, I think, it gave a little bit more strength, and I don''t know if you guys noticed, but, I actually immediately threaded it through after I put the toothpaste on, but, I was actually expecting to give it a few more goes before I could get it through, but, advice to you, just use a needle threader, anyways, this actually works, so, I'm gonna have to give it a thumbs up!

*Music playing*

Wengie: For the next life hack is, that toothpaste can remove onion smells, I don't know if you guys, but onion smells are pretty stubborn on my chopping board, all my fingers for a very, long time, so, you can remove the smell, so, let's see if it works, but really, I really likes using onions when I cook, and, I love eating them, but, the smell, that leaves is pretty strong, so, I'm gonna give my fingers, a good wipe to make sure they're nice, and smelly, now, it's time for the toothpaste, I guess you can just use it like regular hand soap, so, that's what I'm gonna do here, and then, just rinse it off in the sink!

*Music playing*

Wengie: Alright guys, I've just come back from washing my hands, I haven't smelt it yet, let's see if it's any onion smell left on my hands, mmm, minty-fresh, I'm trying to see if it's just like toothpaste smell on top of onion, or whether, like the onion smells actually completely gone, hey, it's pretty good, I don't think smells like onion at all, hmmm, I think, this works, guys, I'm gonna give it a thumbs up!

*Music playing*

Wengie: Okay, so, this next life hack says that you can clean a permanent marker off any surface, I would test it on a table because that's usually where you find a permanent marker, but, the table's, not mine, so, we're going to test it out on a plastic lid instead, so, let's give it a go, and see if it works, so, I'm just gonna draw something onto a surface with some permanent marker to test it out, as you can see, it does not wipe away like whiteboard markers would, so, this is actually a permanent marker, so, now, we're just gonna squeeze some toothpaste on top, and scrub it away!

*Music playing*

Wengie: Ohh, wow! Oh my god, it's actually scrubbing off!

Wengie: And, ta-dah, hey, it looks completely clean again, look at this guys, it's gone, its clean, I didn't think it'd work, you only thing though is I feel like the toothbrush bristles were a little bit harsh, so, if you can see like the plastic is actually like being scratched as well, so, that's something to look out for when you're like giving it a good, it could actually damage the surface, depending on what it is, but yeah, it worked, this is probably one of my favourites, I'm gonna give it a thumbs up!

*Music playing*

Wengie: So, this next life hack says that, if you don't have white - out, you can use toothpaste, I don't know about this one, guys, I feel kind of uneasy about this one, but, let's give it a shot, that's all we do for, the first step is to write something, that's rough, obviously, unicorns aren't evil, so, now, take out your toothpaste, and, just rub it all over the paper, I guess, I'm not really sure about how this isn't mean't to work, it's already so thin, but, we can still see the words, so, let's just put some water on top, I don't even know if I can close this page, now, you can't see it, that looks amazing, um, guys, I think in the process of it, drying it, it actually went more clear,so, now, you can see the word even clearer, so, let's just stop here, and see how,whoa, I can kinda still write over it, but, this is a really good pen,and, I feel like I'm ruining with the toothpaste~!

*Music playing*

Wengie: So, when I first heard of this hack, I thought it was absolutely ridiculous, and, when the toothpaste dried it actually become even more clear, so, you can see what's underneath, so, I had like really low expectations of this hack, that was pleasantly surprising, that you could actually write on top of it, I actually thought it was gonna totally disintegrate, and like break up, surprising, very, very surprising, I'm gonna give it a thumbs down, but, the fact, you could write on top of it, it kind of saved it, so,I'm gonna give it a half, um, thumbs up!

*Music playing*

Wengie: I didn't want to do the one because it's a little bit embarrassing, but, I have my old, dirty shoelaces, they're really gross, I don't even know how it got this way, there's like weird, brown things, so, we're gonna see if we can clean these, and, save it because, at this point, I'm not sure, I want to wear these again, let's go, here, I just filled a large bucket with some water, and squeeze some toothpaste in, and mix it up so, it's all dissolved!

*Music playing*

Wengie: Time to throw these in, we're not gonna soak them because apparently, we just need to give them a scrub, so, take this dirt part here, it's kind of disgusting, it just needs a bit of a scrub, oh, that's hugely improved, more here, that's gone, quick, and easy!

*Music playing*

Wengie: Then, I'd dried them off, and this was the result!

*Music playing*

Wengie: Okay guys, so, my shoelaces are a lot cleaner, and they smell minty-fresh, in fact, when I was cleaning, my sinuses were actually getting super clear from just the smell of it, but yeah, I managed to get all the yellow stains out with the toothpaste, and the only thing left is just little balls of lint, which I wasn't able to remove, it did well, my shoelaces are clean, whether this is better than just throwing it in the washing machine, I'm not sure, but, this certainly works, so, I'm gonna give it a thumbs up!

*Music playing*

Wengie: So, this next life hack says, that you can stick photos on the wall temporarily, using toothpaste, this could be useful if you don't want to hang a frame, or drill a hole in the wall, or if you ran out of glue, so, let's give it a shot, just place a decent dot of toothpaste on each corner of your photo, and stick it straight onto your wall!

*Music playing*

Wengie: Okay, so, I actually didn't think this hack would work at all, but, it did, it is up, but, I still think double-sided tape, and blue tac, is definitely more secure than this, it doesn't feel super secure, but, since it did work, I'm gonna give this hack a thumbs up!

*Music playing*

Wengie: So, apparently, you can actually clean your old, dirty, or rusty coins with toothpaste, so, let's give it a go, they're pretty old, dirty looking coins here, so, just squeeze out some toothpaste into a cup of water, and, give it a good mix, so many loves, you look at that disgusting, next, I drop my coins in, and, just left them to sit for a while, okay, guys, it's been fifteen minutes into the solution, so, we're gonna take it out, and, see if they're actually clean, just in case they're not, I've got a little scrub station here for us to clean them, let's go, ughhh, it feels kind of slimey, I tried to clean the coins as best as I could try, and get off all the dirt, I'm really hoping this hack works, rule, the green came off, the brush becoming a, turn brown, it's gone from black to dark brown, slight improvement, I think!

*Music playing*

Wengie: So, this one kind of didn't work from that, well, it got rid of the rust, so, I think, it did really well with like the green kind of rust things on the coins, but not so much with the black, dirty stuff on the coins, it does feel a little bit nicer than before, and, they definitely smell a lot nicely because these coins are really stunk, I was trying to find the most dirtiest coins ever, I don't think I cleaned them properly becausr instead of a green filled, they now have a white film, I''d rather not deal with it, it takes too much time, why would you want to clean the dirty coins anyways, just go, buy something with it,and give it to someone else, and, they can deal with the dirty coins, that'swhat I recommend, I'm gonna give this hack, a thumbs down!

*Music playing*

Wengie: You know when you're at the end of a tube of toothpaste, and, you're just spending so much time, trying to squeeze that little bit outside away, while the next life hack is supposed to help you with this, it is actually to put it in a syringe, probably, what it finds a bigger syringe to fit all your toothpaste, but, all I could find was this, so, I just kind of test it out with a syringe, not sure, we came up with this one, but, just squeeze your toothpaste into the syringe, and then, reattach the plunger when you're done, and if you're me, you're super unco-ordinated, and, you make a mess, yeah, now, you can syringe your toothpaste onto anything you like, most likely, a toothbrush, it was so hard to squeeze toothpaste, I guess, it's not worked, or maybe was genius because you'd never have to struggle again to squeeze toothpaste onto your toothbrush, but, then, I realised, you have to struggle anyways to actually get it into the syringe in the first place, so, I don't even know if you save any time, it;'s kind of pointless, a little bit messy for me because I filled it up too much so, I'm gonna give this hack a thumbs down!

*Music playing*

Wengie: So, for the next one, we're gonna clean my phone screen as you can probably see, it's really ugly from being put on my face, and general use, so, we're gonna get this out, also, just a warning, make sure your phone is like waterproof, or something before you do this, and I don't want to be responsible for you guys breaking your phone, I'm gonna test it out for you guys, so, let's go, yeah as you can see my phone screen is pretty dirty, I honestly don't remember the last time I cleaned it, pretty embarrassing, but, I'm really hoping this works, apparently, you just need to squeeze some toothpaste onto the screen, and, just rub it all over your screen with your fingers, then, wipe off the toothpaste with a damp towel, it's probably a good idea to make sure your phone is waterproof before you try this one though anyways, when it's done,here's what my screen now looks like!
