Hello everyone and welcome to Gourmet Food.
Ginger is a kind of kitchen condiment commonly used in our lives, it can not only remove the smell and increase the flavor in the dishes, but also a taste of traditional Chinese medicine, loss of appetite, no appetite, excessive moisture, cold and cold can use it. I believe many people have heard of the folk proverb "eat radish in winter and ginger in summer, and don't work for doctors to prescribe medicine", which shows the importance of ginger in our lives.
Toothpaste, is a necessity in our daily life, used to clean teeth and fresh breath, expired toothpaste can also be used to brush small white shoes, or rub the back in the bath, and the tiny particles in it can also help us do some daily cleaning.
When it comes to ginger and toothpaste, you may think that there is no connection between them. However, squeezing toothpaste on ginger can do a lot of unexpected things. Today, I would like to share with you the magic of the combination of toothpaste and ginger that can solve a lot of family problems for us.
First of all, you need to prepare the ginger, buy the ginger, scrub the ginger skin with baking soda and edible salt until the ginger peel crumbs appear, and then rinse it with water. If there is a lot of sediment on it, it is recommended to soak it in cold water before scrubbing.
When choosing ginger, such as young ginger, young ginger and sand ginger, these varieties of ginger have a lighter taste, less gingerol, lower active substances, and lower starch content. We should choose the kind of old ginger used in stir-frying and stewing on weekdays, its skin is dry, the color is light yellow, and there are obvious lines on it, this kind of old ginger has a strong taste, and the smell is heavier, and the effect of removing the smell and increasing the flavor is excellent when stewing meat and mixing filling.
After washing the ginger, use a knife to break it up and chop it into minced pieces, cut it into a small bowl, and smash it with one end of a rolling pin to smash out all the ginger juice. Then squeeze 10 cm of toothpaste into a small bowl, add 500 ml of warm water to it, stir well with a small spoon, and stir the toothpaste to disperse.
After letting it stand for a while, find a piece of gauze, filter out the ginger residue inside, pour the stirred ginger ale toothpaste water into a small watering can, then add a spoonful of salt and a spoonful of baking soda to the watering can, cover the lid and shake evenly before use. So, what can this blended ginger toothpaste water be used for?
Clean the cooktop hood
Toothpaste contains a lot of cleaning particles and fine friction particles, and ginger is rich in a lot of gingerol, which is an extremely useful surface activator to help us clean the surface of oil. For example, this method can be used for stoves and hoods at home.
Spray the filter of the range hood with a small watering can, then cover it with a layer of paper towel, then spray the paper towel again and attach a piece of plastic wrap and let it sit for about 20 minutes to soften the oil and the dirt on it.
After that, remove the plastic wrap and paper towel, and gently wipe it with a scouring pad, and the oil stain on it can be directly removed, which is very convenient. Compared to the various detergents we buy from outside, they have a strong smell and more chemical ingredients, which is not safe to use, and the skin on your hands is particularly prone to chapping and flaking after use.
And when our homemade ginger toothpaste water is sprayed on it, it not only tastes fresh and pleasant, but also definitely won't hurt your hands. After cleaning all the oil stains on the range hood and stove, wipe it twice with a clean rag and use it normally.
But remember to disconnect the power supply of the range hood as much as possible when spraying liquids to prevent electricity leakage. The same is true for cleaning the stove below, first spread a paper towel after spraying wet, then spray the paper towel wet, cover it with plastic wrap and simmer for a while, and wait until the oil stains on it are all softened before cleaning.
Compared with the range hood, the cleaning of the stove is actually more important, once the stove eye of the stove is blocked by oil or rust, it is very easy to leak gas or ignition can not be ignited, etc., and it is easy to produce deflagration if you are not careful.
Therefore, the range hood and stove at home must be cleaned in time, and it is recommended to clean it once a week to keep the kitchen hygienic. At the same time, after cleaning, it can also avoid attracting cockroaches, flies, small flying insects, etc. due to leftovers on the stove, so as to have a more comfortable cooking environment.
Clean up limescale in the bathroom
In our daily lives, we often encounter the problem of limescale accumulation in faucets, showers, toilets, wash basins and other places at home. These scales not only affect the aesthetics, but can also affect the life of the equipment. Typically, we choose to use chemical descalers such as oxalic acid or citric acid to clean these areas.
However, these chemical cleaners can release a pungent odor during use, which can affect indoor air quality, and their acidic ingredients are irritating to the skin, so you need to be extra careful when using them.
We can consider using ginger toothpaste water as a cleanser. Ginger toothpaste water not only has a gentle cleansing effect, but its natural ingredients are more friendly to the skin. Prepare a dry, disposable face towel and spray ginger toothpaste water evenly on the face towel to moisten it thoroughly.
Next, use a damp washcloth to gently wipe down limescale areas in your home. Since the cleaning ingredients of ginger toothpaste water are effective in breaking down limescale, it can be easily removed by simply wiping without the need for hard tools such as steel brushes or steel wool. This method not only avoids the pungent smell of chemical cleaners, but also reduces the potential damage to the skin.
In addition, there are other benefits to using ginger toothpaste water as a cleanser. Not only does it clean limescale, but it also leaves a fresh ginger scent that makes the cleaned space more pleasant. Moreover, since the ingredients of ginger toothpaste water are natural, even if there are trace residues during the cleaning process, it will not be a burden on the environment.

Pigmentation is a common problem that many people experience in skin care, and it can be caused by a variety of factors such as UV exposure, aging, hormonal changes, and more. Dark spots not only affect the appearance but can also affect an individual's self-confidence. While there are many skincare products and treatment options on the market that specifically target dark spots, many people are also looking for some natural and less costly alternatives.
The combination of ginger and toothpaste is a folk natural remedy that is believed to be effective in lightening dark spots on the face. Ginger is a common kitchen ingredient and an herb with a variety of medicinal properties. Ginger is pungent and warm, and has the effect of promoting blood circulation, invigorating blood circulation and removing blood stasis. Toothpaste, on the other hand, is used to clean oral hygiene because of its cleansing and anti-inflammatory properties, but toothpaste also has anti-inflammatory and cooling effects.
To make this natural pigmentation lightening mask, you first need to prepare fresh ginger and toothpaste for daily use. After washing the ginger, smash it with a rolling pin, then add an appropriate amount of toothpaste and stir well to form a paste. In this process, the cleansing ingredients of the toothpaste and the blood-invigorating effect of ginger combine to form a unique treatment mask.
Next, apply this paste-like mask evenly to areas with pigmented spots. It is recommended to cleanse the face before applying it to ensure the effectiveness of the mask. After application, it can be gently massaged for a few minutes to promote the absorption of ginger and toothpaste ingredients into the skin. Apply it once a day in the morning and once in the evening for a period of time, and you can observe the effect of gradually fading the dark spots.
