Clean the Bathroom Sink If you drop some toothpaste in the bathroom sink, don't just rinse it away. Grab a damp sponge and use it to clean the entire bowl. Rinse well and buff dry. It will even leave the drain smelling minty fresh.
Toothpaste is mildly abrasive, so it's great at scrubbing tough stains, yet it's gentle enough that it won't scratch delicate surfaces (you know, like the enamel of your teeth). Plus, some toothpastes are even formulated for whitening, making them more effective at removing stains.
So, hydrogen peroxide, baking soda, vinegar, and toothpaste are all effective at removing hard water stains from your house. At the same time, how do you prevent these stains from coming back? The best solution is a water softener.
Start with a liquid or powdered non-abrasive buffing compound you would normally use to clean stainless steel, like Bar Keeper's Friend (in a pinch, you can even use whitening toothpaste). If your stainless steel cleaner of choice is cream-based, proceed to the next step.
Simply squirt 2-3 little blobs around the sink and spread it around with a dry scrubber; next, dampen the toothpaste on the scrubbing pad and clean your sink before thoroughly rinsing it off to reveal a spotless surface!
Toothpaste. Before you turn to the professional cleaning products, there's one more at-home solution you can try. Apply a small amount of non gel toothpaste to any heavily stained areas of your shower screen and leave it for a few minutes. Wipe it over with a damp sponge and hopefully the stains should vanish.
Sprinkle baking soda or Borax directly on the hard water stain in your sink, then spray on the same vinegar and water solution you used on the bathtub. Let the cleaners sit for 15 minutes, then scrub with a soft brush or sponge. (Remember to wear gloves when cleaning with Borax.)
A toothpaste is improved and especially rendered a breath freshening agent by thoroughly mixing with a solution of three (3) parts of apple cider vinegar and one part of water, which final toothpaste mixture may then be applied to the teeth by brushing in the normal manner.
Unfortunately, when you rinse immediately after brushing, you're washing away a lot of the fluoride in toothpaste before it can strengthen your tooth enamel. To maximize the beneficial cavity-fighting effect of fluoride, spit out excess toothpaste but do not rinse your mouth.

Apply directly to the toothpaste stain and leave as per the manufacturer's instructions. Persistent stains may need to be left overnight. Wash as normal, again checking the stain is gone before placing in a dryer.
Our hygienists use a jet system to gently removing plaque and visible surface stains, which is suitable for everyone, even for those with sensitive teeth. This treatment works with a simple combination of 3 things - air, sodium bicarbonate and a jet of water.
There are a few options you can try: Apply vinegar or lemon juice directly onto a cloth and scrub the limescale until it comes away. Alternatively, mix one part lemon juice or vinegar to four parts water. Put the solution in a spray bottle and spritz it onto tiles and plugholes.
Pour some white distilled vinegar in a spray bottle then spray it all over the sink. Give the vinegar for about five minutes to work its magic and get rid of those stubborn water spots. Next, sprinkle some baking soda all over the sink. You can expect it to fizz a little.
You could use expired toothpaste to clean scuff marks and crayons off your walls. This will work especially well if your walls are glossy or semi-glossy.

Some toothpaste ingredients can cause reactions, including canker sores, ulcers, or a rash or redness and swelling around the mouth or on the tongue. This is often due to toothpaste flavoring, such as spearmint, peppermint, or cinnamon, or such irritants as citric acid and other chemicals.
Toothpaste stains may seem hard to remove, but they can actually come out with a single wash or quick blot and rinse. Some toothpastes may contain bleaching agents. Treat stains immediately, and always check your clothing's care tag for specific requirements like dry cleaning.
