We put our toothbrushes in our mouths at least twice a day – often without thought to its cleanliness. Think about this: would you use a dinner fork that hadn’t been thoroughly washed? Scientific studies have shown that air-borne bacteria in bathrooms are a fact, and here’s what you can do to make sure your toothbrush is fully sanitized…

​

• Store it standing up so the bristles drain.

• Keep it in the cupboard to protect it from air-borne germs.

• Knock out the extra water.

• Make sure no food particles are trapped in the bristles or on the tongue cleaner.

• Consider using an inexpensive UV light toothbrush sanitizer. One quick touch and 99.9% of the germs will be gone!
