the homemade toothpaste article has a whole bunch of comments from people who made their own toothpaste and ended up with dental issues.
please heed their warnings.

dear apartment therapy:
when your articles are wrong or misleading, perhaps reposting them is a poor idea.
thanks,

Homemade body scrubs are a Godsend. DIY is great but time and money are one and the same.

Since when is toothpaste or body scrub a pricey item?
yeah, i remember everyone said the toothpaste was a bad idea.. haha
Oh my god, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do not brush your teeth with baking soda. Or Ajax. Or rock salt. Or "firm" toothbrushes.
Seriously, baking soda for tooth brushing is bad news.
