I wanted my security deposit back but the tub was already orange and stained when we moved in.

luckily, I knew the toothpaste trick.

1. while whatever your cleaning is bone dry, squeeze a little toothpaste on the discolored area.

2. spread it out with a disposable plastic glove or whatever, make sure that the toothpaste is rubbed in and touching all the discolored parts.

3. wait an hour or four. waiting is optional, it just makes it easier to clean off later.

4. use a damp cloth to clean off the toothpaste and the orange, yellow whatever stains from your tub, shower, countertop or toilet.

5. repeat as needed, it won't take many applications to have your fixture looking new.

any tile or anything with a glossy finish is fine to use toothpaste on, and the plastic shower and tubs are made out of is fine and won't be damaged.

get that deposit back for the price of a tube of toothpaste.

honorable mention:

are you in 1999 and your CD keeps skipping?

toothpaste!
