Theoretically it would not even reach the toothbrush to cook?

hi, in the house i always put my toothbrush in boiled water in the night because that is what my mother did when i was young,she said that to kill germs in my toothbrush, i think putting a thing in a boiled water can lessen the bacteria and germs.

I would say no. because toothbrushes are not designed for the temperatures to be boiled and not endure. would most likely cancel the bristles, then tear and thus provide a breeding ground for bacteria, which then indeed the desired effect would be abolished completely.

I would think that, that would be sufficient. I guess it depends on what the illness is and how contagious it is. When my son had strep throat the doctor told us to throw out his toothbrush after he was on the meds for three days. She said that if you don't get strep out of your system and can become dangerous for other parts of your body, so it is very important to eliminate any of the germs from it. It is a good thing toothbrushes are cheap.

Hello! No, it is not enough. Medical instruments are made ??in the sterilizer at 125 ° and 2 bar pressure germ-free - that would endure no toothbrush, they would melt. Do yourself a favor and give the 1-2 Euro's for new toothbrush - it's about your health! Why do people always just save it?

I personally have not cooked toothbrush and do not know what to withstand temperatures that dinger. so can try again, but would it work normally, killing the bacteria with it. But you should anyway at regular intervals, a new toothbrush buy, because of that.

Here there are small but subtle differences. In the field of hygiene of foodstuffs (meat heat) it is essentially about salmonella. Therefore should be particularly sensitive foods such as meat at least 70 ° C are heated and may not leave the kitchen at 68 degrees. Boiling water is only about 100 ° C hot, since it then evaporates. For bacteria, but may look different. Medical equipment is sterilized in an autoclave, for example, at much higher temperatures Artur.

Yes, you can clean your toothbrush instead of throwing it away. I would be careful about boiling it, however. Many plastics would not hold up to the heat. The bristles of the brush are held in initially by inserting them and then heating the handle. You might loosen them by boiling the brush. Antiseptics would work better.
