Woman cleans iron using toothpaste
A TikTok video shared by @tumelo_mm shows the woman applying a generous amount of white Colgate toothpaste onto the blackened part of the iron.
She then plugs it into the electricity socket. She allows the iron to heat up, burning the toothpaste until it is a hardened brown substance, which she easily scrubs off, leaving the iron clean and shiny again.
