Ever thought of checking the ingredients in your toothpaste? If not, then this site might give you quite a shock.
So, why not move over to natural/organic (the bio shops sell various brands) and save your old tube for other uses, such as:
• to relieve irritation from insect bites, blisters etc. - a drop on overnight
• to soothe a minor (not open-wound) burn - apply immediately and leave on
• to clean fingernails - scrub on with nail brush
• to clean food smells off hands - use like soap
• to remove stains from clothes and carpets - apply, rub briskly until spot disappears, then wash as usual
• to clean scuffed shoes - apply directly, scrub with brush then wipe clean
• to make silver sparkle - apply with a soft cloth, leave on overnight then polish up in the morning
• to remove shallow scratches from DVDs and CDs - apply a thin coat, rub gently then rinse clean
• to clean piano keys - apply with a damp cloth, rub gently then wipe clean with another dry cloth
