Removing toothpaste stains

A blob that falls off the brush, a child who makes a mess while brushing, or a tube that bursts open in the toilet bag: toothpaste often ends up in places where you don't want it. At first glance, it seems simple to wipe away, but toothpaste can actually leave streaks, dull spots or a white haze. Some types contain additional colourants or whitening ingredients, and virtually all toothpastes contain a combination of abrasive particles, binding agents and sometimes fatty components.

Acting quickly prevents the paste from drying out and hardening. Once it is stuck, you are more likely to scrub too hard, with the risk of causing damage.
