Cleaning Toothbrush With Simple Tips
Cleaning your toothbrush is one of the essential tips to maintain oral hygiene. We often do not pay attention to cleaning the toothbrush and simply practice one oral hygiene tip; changing toothbrush every 2-3 months.
After brushing, it is very important to clean the toothbrush and maintain oral hygiene. Even after being visibly rinsed, the toothbrush becomes a home to bacteria. For example, we have the habit of rinsing the toothbrush with water after brushing and then keep it in the rack or box. Did you know that a wet toothbrush is home for various germs and bacteria?
You must shake off excess water from the brush and air dry under the fan or sunlight. Moreover, we have another habit of keeping the toothbrush in the cabinet or box after use. Keeping lots of brushes in one cup can be bad as the toothbrushes spread germs when they rub against each other.
So, here are some tips for cleaning your toothbrush and maintaining oral hygiene.
HOW TO BRUSH WITH AN ELECTRIC TOOTHBRUSH?

Soak In Baking Soda
Baking soda is an effective disinfectant which is used for cleaning various house items. You can soak the head of the toothbrush in baking soda and water solution to clean it.

Wash With Hot Water
Hot water kills bacteria and germs that collect inside the brushes. Soak the toothbrush in boiling water for 5 minutes, or simply wash with hot water before and after use every day.

Air Dry After Use
Letting the toothbrush air dry keeps it mold-free. So, dry it after every use at least for a few minutes till the excess water is dried.

Change the Brush Every 2-3 Months
You should change your toothbrush when the bristles start twisting. Even change after you recover from illness to avoid falling sick again. Otherwise, change the brush every 2-3 months.

Water and Vinegar
Soak the head of the toothbrush in water and vinegar for 3-5 minutes. Wash with hot water and air dry.

Soak In Hydrogen Peroxide
Rinse the toothbrush in hot water and then soak in a 1/2 hydrogen peroxide (3%) and 1/2 water for a minute.
