Rust Rings: If you get orange water spots on your tubs or sinks don’t spend tons of money on CLR or other iron and rust removers that don’t work well. Just grab your tube of toothpaste.

Simply wet the area a little bit then squeeze a generous amount of paste over the area and rub it in, then use an old tooth brush to brush away the stain. For stubborn stains, add more paste and some baking soda, then let it soak in for about five minutes then scrub it off. Louise Caldwell, KY
