Recycle: Toothpaste, Anyone?

How far would you go in finishing up your toothpaste before you bin it?
Just when you think its coming to its end of life; or till you cut it up to get the very last bit?


Usually by the look like the above pic, it would have ended up in the garbage bin, right? One rarely have the energy to super squeeze the content at the cap - definitely not in the morning haha :P

My mom taught me this: The next time you're finishing a tube, set it aside.
Come weekend when you do your house cleaning, cut it up, and transfer it into a sponge.

Then, wash your sink. It works better than any sink cleaner.. you get spanking clean sink effortlessly. Yes, you don't have to scrub hard. The dirt gets loosen up easily.. Try it!
