listerine
i put my toothbrushes in a cup of normal mouth rinse and it seems to work well
buy one of those tablets people use to clean their fake teeth hehe... it is called effervescent denture cleanser or something like that and it is really cheap. well put a tablet in a glass of watter and let it there until it dissolves.. will take less than a minute and then put your toothbrush inside for a few minutes (about 5.. see the instructions of the cleanser)... if this doesn't help you can always buy a new one!
hope this helps!
i honestly would buy a new one. I know its money but i think its worth it. Unless your doing it everyday in which case.maybe baby sterolising fluid??
why would you do that...give me your address and ill send ya 5 bucks to go buy a new one
salt water or baking soda. You can even use bleech, but be sure to cut it and rinse them real well. Some people put their tooth brushes in the dish washer.
You can soak them in several things.
IE: Peroxide, any mouth wash, and any dentchers cleaning substance.
Any antiseptic like Listerine will work fine, but that can be wasteful and costly.
The best thing to sanitize is boiling water. You don't have to soak them in it - you can pour boiling water from the kettle over them for a few seconds and that will do the trick.
I would soak them in listerine for 30 sec. Keep them away or locked up from a bathroom with an open toilet due to ECOLI. Thats bad stuff. Flushing your toilet with the lid down will also cut down on germs in the bathroom.
Put your brush through the dish washer. Or you can wash them in antibacterial soap. Or simply buy a new toothbrush.
You can use hot water, or you can use peroxide. Peroxide will not hurt your toothbrush or you when you use it again. Or you can go buy some expensive gadget.
boil them in water for about 10 minutes and they will be sanitized. You do know that you should just buy a new brush about every 3 months or if the brush looks worn and frayed?
Peroxide. Soak it in for a few minutes. It disinfects really well... You can also dip the head in peroxide, then dip it in baking soda and brush your teeth... It tasts nasty if it gets on your tounge but I promise you they'll be so white people will think the dentist did it for you. (I do it once a week for maintenance)
Hot tap water after using and Listerine before.
How old are the toothbrushes because you are "Suppose" to replace them every 30, 60 or 90 days. I forgot which one. To answer your question though, you can use peroxide.
boil some water, and add some bakeing soda, or you can add listerine or peroxide but i use bakeing soda. add about 1 tablespoon per cup, and soak for about 1/2 hour or longer and rinse throughly (unless you want salty toothbrushes!).
Put them into the dishwasher, works great!
Baking soda
Your best bet is to just get a new toothbrush..
water :P
you could just buy a new one? :)
Replace your toothbrush every 6 months.Between times,rinse in water and microwave on high for a minute,especially after having a cold or flu.
just get a new one.
