Re:Using toothpaste in a new mask??
While some people might like the "minty fresh" scent (oh no... my mask has that not so minty fresh scent ;D ) you can buy the ultra cheap toothpaste (certainly under a buck) that wouldn't really have a scent and would be enough for several cleanings. I clean my masks yearly and sometimes more (my clear skirt mask tends to "show" the gunk buildup).
While spit does work as a defog (I think it came out as #4 or 5 in effectiveness in a "scubalab" test) there are "things" in saliva that might increase the gunk buildup factor. Why do we brush our teeth? Also commercial defog works better and longer (more dives per application).
Minty fresh, get your minty fresh. hehe
