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.

thanks for the tip. I been sick for a few months now, this morning got up and hal asleep went to brush my teeth and instead of getting the tooth paste, grab the desitin that I keep here for the babies...Not a very good taste....LOL

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

thanks for the tip !

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.

WISH I HAD FINGERNAILS. lol

Put your finger tips in a very small amout of bleach instant white.

I am gonna try it! Thanks Merry Christmas and Blessings throughout the New Year! Live Laugh Download Stitch!

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

Thanks for this - hope I can remember it when we get to spring!

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

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!
