Beyond its typical use for grooming, shaving cream can work wonders when it comes to cleaning various surfaces and tackling common household challenges.
Let’s explore how this versatile product can simplify your cleaning routine and leave your home looking sparkling clean.
Clean and polish the bottom of those pans
Shaving cream can be used to clean the bottom of frying pans effectively. Apply a small amount of white, non-gel shaving cream to the stained or burnt areas, spread it evenly, let it sit, and then gently scrub with a cloth or sponge.
Paint stains
To remove paint stains from your hands effectively, apply shaving cream generously, rub it into the stained areas, let it sit for a few minutes, and then scrub or wipe away the softened paint.
Rinse your hands thoroughly and repeat if needed.
Defog and clean mirrors
To defog and clean mirrors effectively, apply a small amount of shaving cream, spread it evenly, allow it to sit briefly, and then wipe it off with a clean cloth. This method ensures a clear, fog-free, and streak-free mirror.
Works on stainless steel surfaces
To clean stainless steel surfaces effectively, apply shaving cream, spread it evenly, gently scrub in the direction of the grain, rinse, and dry. Shaving cream can remove dirt and smudges from stainless steel while restoring its shine without causing scratches or streaks.
Clean old jewelry
Place a small amount of shaving cream in a small bowl and immerse your jewelry in it for about 30 minutes. Afterward, use a toothbrush to gently scrub the jewelry.
Submerge the jewelry in water to rinse off the cream and then dry it with a clean cloth.
Carpet stains

Afterward, allow the carpet to air dry and vacuum to restore its appearance.
Clean that hair brush
To clean a hairbrush with shaving cream, start by removing hair from the bristles. Then, apply shaving cream to the bristles, scrub it in with a toothbrush, and let it sit for 10-15 minutes.
Rinse the brush thoroughly, allow it to air dry, and inspect for cleanliness.
Give your eyeglasses a good cleaning
