How Often Do You Clean Your Toothbrush?  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 93/100. Transdisc (18434) 4 years ago

And how do you clean it? What methods do you use to clean your toothbrush?

Do you use any chemical cleaners?

If you don't clean it daily, how do you determine when to clean it?

While you're here, you could also say whether you use your toothbrush for anything besides cleaning teeth.

I hope your not talking about using your toothbrush for cleaning shoes or something and then use the same one to brush your teeth! confused
I don't clean my toothbrush. I will use it for a couple months and then throw it and get a new one.
Sometimes I will save my old on for polishing things (but not use it for my teeth again happy )


myLot reputation of 93/100. Transdisc (18434)  4 years ago

You don't clean it between brushings?

I clean my toothbrush twice a day Trans.
Every morning and every night before and after I clean my teeth.
Nope no chemical cleaner's for me, just good ole H2O.

I do not use my toothbrush for anything other then cleaning my teeth.
I quite often use Mr Piggy's to clean the toilet.
Being Mr Piggy he should not notice. LOL


myLot reputation of 95/100. messageme (1627)   ranked 184 out of 266 in thought provoking questions that are serious issue  4 years ago

Well ya if you look at it that way I clean my toothbrush every time I'm done using it with water.


myLot reputation of 93/100. Transdisc (18434)  4 years ago

Mr. Piggy is blessed to have you, Goodie. You amaze me every day with how you manage to express your love for him.

myLot reputation of 94/100. Goodie123 (7548)  4 years ago

He is truly blessed Trans.
Sometimes I use his toothbrush to clean chicken poo from between my toes also.


myLot reputation of 93/100. Transdisc (18434)  4 years ago

Once, and old friend of mine had 'someone' use his toothbrush to brush my dog's teeth.

I don't use my own toothbrush for anything other than cleaning teeth, but I have, in general used toothbrushes to clean hard to reach places.

I clean my toothbrush every time I brush with hot water and toothpaste. No chemical cleaners. I figure if toothpaste is good enough for my teeth, it's good enough to clean the brush, right?


myLot reputation of 87/100. itsmefaith (2222)  4 years ago

Sorry, I didn't mean for it to post twice. My browser shut down mid post and I didn't think it went through.blush


myLot reputation of 93/100. Transdisc (18434)  4 years ago

I only see one post, Its.

I hope that you don't catch any fungi with the cleaning methods that you use.


myLot reputation of 87/100. itsmefaith (2222)  4 years ago

Oh, it's there, keep looking. blush

Yeah, I was wondering what that green stuff was. Hmmmmm

i do not use a toothbrush for my teeth.

these piles can be hellish itchy and a "buttscratch" kept in the freezer can be a heavenly experience!wink

Why am I not surprised that you use your toothbrush in this way? I, too, find that a toothbrush makes a wonderful tool for scratching as well as removing the dingleberries.


myLot reputation of 94/100. Goodie123 (7548)  4 years ago

I dare not ask what dingleberries are Trans.w00t


myLot reputation of 93/100. xboxboy (1792)   ranked 5 out of 266 in thought provoking questions that are serious issue  4 years ago

a dingleberry is a xmas (like dinglebells) version of a dangleberry. (as we call them in the UK)


myLot reputation of 87/100. itsmefaith (2222)  4 years ago

confusedInteresting...


myLot reputation of 93/100. Transdisc (18434)  4 years ago

No matter what they're called, being able to remove them is always a reason to celebrate! It's amazing how they get matted in the fur.


myLot reputation of 94/100. Goodie123 (7548)  4 years ago

I clean mine right after I use it with mouth wash and then very hot water. I don't use my tooth brush for anything but my teeth. But I have other ones that I use for cleaning in between the tiles in the bathroom. Works great. I wish you could find hard tooth brushes again as they worked better for that. Your friend onlydia.


myLot reputation of 93/100. Transdisc (18434)  4 years ago

Look in an autoparts store, onlydia. Or the auto cleaning part of a place like WalMart. They have toothbrush cleaners there that are hard.


myLot reputation of 98/100. onlydia (1685)   ranked 54 out of 266 in thought provoking questions that are serious issue  4 years ago

I will have to look. Thank you I just don't want it to be to hard as to scatch the tile. You have a great day.


myLot reputation of 93/100. Transdisc (18434)  4 years ago

They won't scratch the tile. They are made for detailing automobiles.

That's a great idea, Irish.

Don't forget to scrub real well under the top edge of the bowl.

I clean my teeth and toothbrush at the same time.since I'm using baking soda...I have a battery operated one so i just get a new brush top when i need another..then the older ones i use to clean around the sink knobs..multi purpose..


myLot reputation of 93/100. Transdisc (18434)  4 years ago

Baking soda should also keep foul odours out of your washroom, I bet.

Although we have old toothbrushes of the manual kind reserved for cleaning other stuff, my personal toothbrush is not used by anybody else or for anything else, and I clean the head attachment/s daily in 3% hydrogen peroxide with a vinegar rinse. The handle, I clean periodically with a fresh Lysol Dual Action wipe.


myLot reputation of 93/100. Transdisc (18434)  4 years ago

Hydrogen Peroxide is excellent for this purpose, drannhh.
