How to Take Toothpaste Stains Out of Varnished Wood

Toothpaste can be used to remove water stains from varnished wood. However, if the toothpaste has dried on the wood it will leave a white residue. You can clean this off by polishing it using a wood cleaner. If a wood cleaner is not available, you can easily make an all-natural one with items from your kitchen.
