30.05.2023 06:30

Almost all the toothpaste has been squeezed out of the tube... A familiar and quite common situation.

What do almost all people do in this case? Throw away the "slimmed down" packaging and start using a new toothpaste.

But an experienced housewife will not throw the tube in the trash.

The device will still be useful. But the purpose of its use will be different.

This is what smart housewives do

You can do the following: make numerous holes in the tube with a needle, and then place the package in the toilet cistern.

As a result, each time you flush, a pleasant aroma will appear, and unnecessary odors will be “masked.”

And all thanks to the remains of toothpaste that are still in the tube.

This way, there will be no need to purchase expensive toilet tablets.

In addition to being relatively cheap, the tube has another advantage over air fresheners.

We are talking about a significant duration of use: the packaging with the remains of toothpaste will “remain in service” for a very long time.

Important nuances

There are, however, a few things to consider before you put the tube in the tank.

Firstly, it is advisable to use a package from a toothpaste that has a bright aroma. The presence of mint in the composition of the product is welcome.

Secondly, it is worth considering that the remains of the paste are unlikely to cope with serious contamination. And you can not count on disinfection of the surface of the plumbing.
