Some of these ideas make me cringe. Baby heads are tender. Use corn syrup if you want to stick a bow onto a baby’s head, but then, really, is that necessary?

Teeth and fingernails are made from the same substance???!!! Yikes! You are sooooooooo wrong! Putting toothpaste onto fingernails will cause the edges to dry and become irritated, leading to an increase in hang-nails and stingy feelings!

I cannot believe you recommend using an abrasive on CDs! Scratch the hell out of ‘em is what you’re recommending! Yowsa!

This is one of those, “I read it on the Internet, so it must be true,” sites that my redneck relatives in Oklahoma talk about.

I cant see my self putting toothpaste in my baby’s hair. You know how hard that will be to get out when it dries.

Toothpaste will not make a bun blister. Total and complete falsehood! 2nd degree burns ALWAYS blister…..unless you use toothpaste.

yes you can clean your jewellry with toothpaste, but you shouldn’t.
I am a diamontologist myself, and cleaned many a ring, necklace, earrings etc etc.
The one thing that made me cringe the most was when people told me they used toothpaste to clean their jewellry.
It totally will make your diamonds sparkle! It will also totally wreck the metal it is set in. It will scratch it, and pitt it as well. It will take the rhodium right ff your “white gold” jewellery (for the most part white gold is rhodium plated) This does it so gradually you’ll not realize how much damage it has actually done, and once you’ve done it, you can’t reverse it. Sad.
This goes for silver, gold and platinum.

If you really want to keep your diamonds sparkling from home you need:

a drop of dishsoap in a bowl of hot water, with a capfull of ammonia (ammonia brightens gold. you’ll only need one container of this – it will last the rest of your life!!!)

a separate bowl of warm water

a soft toothbrush (like a baby toothbrush – soft bristles ONLY)

place jewellery one peice at a time into soapy bowl. Let sit for 30 seconds (NO LONGER)

take piece out, scrub lightly with soft toothbrush on all sides, many times there is a lot of dirt underneath the stone – and you may have to rinse it in the clean water bowl, and repeat a couple times to get it all out.

Rinse in clean bowl, and voila! sparkling! –

keep ypur ring clean by taking it off when cleaning, doing dishes especially, doing laundry too! and showering – diamonds seem to love oils.
I have a special magnetic box I keep mine in. P.S. don’t leave it near any crack, crevice or drain!!!!

I guarantee you’ll say WOW!!! everytime you use this process!
