Use A Soap Pump As A Toothpaste Dispenser

If you share your bathroom with a spouse or siblings, one of the most disgusting ways the sink gets dirty is from globs of toothpaste left behind by the people who brushed their teeth before you. Thankfully, the solution is simple: a simple, cheap soap pump. Load it up with the toothpaste of your choice, put it next to the sink, and enjoy your clean sink.

At Sisters with Aprons, Leah explains that she came up with this solution for her kids’ shared bathroom to keep them from wasting toothpaste all over the sink in the morning and to save her time cleaning it up every day after they’ve gone to school. It’ll take a couple of pumps to get your new toothpaste pump working, but once it is, it’s easier to use and keeps the space around your sink nice and tidy.

It’s a super-simple solution to an annoying problem, and it’s cheap to boot. Just make sure your actual hand soap dispenser looks different than your toothpaste dispenser if you give this a shot. What do you think? Have a different fix to the problem? Let us know in the comments.
