When baby bottles, kid’s sippy cups and thermoses for all ages start to take on a dingy film and unpleasant odor, it’s time to call in the substance you use to make your teeth and breath sparkle. Apply a small amount of toothpaste to your bottle brush, scrub and rinse as usual, and watch the sour milk smell, tomato soup stains, and cloudy film wash away.
If, after cooking, your hands are left with a stubborn garlic or onion smell that washing with hand soap alone won’t get rid of, a gentle scrub with toothpaste will lift the scent.
