Do you have a pair of scissors that won't cut butter? There are many reasons why scissors may not cut perfectly: dull blades, dirt, dust, rust, incorrect storage or just simple wear-and-tear.

While proper maintenance of your scissors or shears using mild soap and water to remove dirt after use will prolong their useful lives, sometimes more is needed.

When the blades of your scissors are no longer sharp, experts recommend applying toothpaste to them. That's right, you read that correctly: toothpaste can sharpen out scissors.

Simply distribute some toothpaste on the blades of the scissors with the help of a napkin. Then, prepare a solution of vinegar and fine salt, pour it over the scissors and rub carefully so that the three ingredients blend together. This solution will effectively remove any rust and dirt on the blades. Finish by rinsing off thoroughly with clean, hot water and drying properly.

Having removed rust and dirt, your scissors will be sharp again. You can do this cleaning frequently as the ingredients are harmless and will not damage the blades.
