If you're like most people, you get a newborn toothbrush every six months, but you really should be changing your toothbrush more often, like every three to four months. When the bristles get worn and retrograde their rigidity, they don't remove plaque as well. But you should also do whatever maintenance within that three months, when your toothbrush is just sitting out in the open. After all, think about all the germs and bacteria floating around that would love to attach themselves to your moist toothbrush.
So to prevent colds, flu, and other sicknesses, Reader's Digest recommends that erst or twice a hebdomad you run your toothbrush through the cook on broad for 10 seconds immediately before brushing. If someone in your home is sick, you may want to unsex it in the cook each time you brush. If you're the digit who's sick, after the sickness passes, ditch your old toothbrush and replace it with a newborn one.
I guess the cook has a sterilizing effect. Wow. That's pretty neat. I have a microwave. Gonna have to give it a whirl. Remember: 10 seconds. Not 10 mins! ( ^ _ ^ ) *Sniff - sniff* Something smells of executing plastic and tooth paste! : )
