I want to pass on a tip that works! I planted seedlings and my fingernails were stained and I could not get them clean and tried white toothpaste that I rubbed on my finers and under the nails and scrubbed them with a brust - bingo all dirt gone and clean fingernails. Merry Christmas to all and a Happy New Year. Hugs all round.

try useing an old battery toothbrush. they are so good for so many jobs around the house, cleaning between tiles and around taps. small stubborn stains. and for those ornaments that have tiny crevases you can never get into.
tooth paste is an abraisive so will do a good job on that limescale.

I used to use one for my nails - it was great while it lasted!

It also does a great job on getting the adhesive spray off hoops.

Toothpaste is a good cleaner! I use it to polish jewelry, too! Makes the diamonds/gems sparkle! Merry Christmas to YOU!

When I plant I usually put on gloves but if you scrape your nails across a soft bar of soap it will stay under your nails so the dirt can't get there. Happy Holidays to you.

Great tip, I used to have a white kitchen counter top and I used to clean that with toothpaste worked wonders. Hugs Sally
