How to Clean Your Toothbrush

You might think that your toothbrush is clean, seeing as how it's always getting sudsy and wet.  But your toothbrush can be carrying germs and can also have a build up of toothpaste on it.  Naturally, if your toothbrush looks bad, you should just toss it and get a new one.  But if your toothbrush is new and you want to clean it, just follow the steps below.  You won't only have clean teeth, but also a clean toothbrush!

Step 1:  Drop a denture tablet in a tall glass of water.

Step 2:  Put your toothbrushes in the glass with the brush side down.

Step 3:  Let the toothbrushes soak over night.

Step 4:  Remove the toothbrushes from the water and rinse them.

Step 5:  Put the clean toothbrushes back where they belong!

	... Yes, toothbrushes can pick up bacteria not only from our mouths, but also e coli from the air around a flushing toilet! People can actually get very sick from it. Toothbrushes should not only be cleaned, but kept in a closed toothbrush holder if it is near a toilet. Good article on cleaning your toothbrush! 5*

	... I heard you can even microwave your toothbrush for a few seconds to kill any bacteria. Good tips.
