Put on some rubber or latex gloves before you work with bleach to avoid any skin irritation. If you don’t want to mess with bleach, you can also use plain mouthwash or hydrogen peroxide.

Try not to leave it in for much longer than an hour! Bleach is very strong, even at this dilution. Make sure your container is somewhere up high and out of the way of kids and pets.

It’s not safe to use a toothbrush with bleach residue on it, so make sure it’s rinsed really well.

A wet toothbrush can lead to slimy gunk getting caught in the handle, and no one wants that!

Always unplug your toothbrush before you start cleaning it. Before you start working with bleach, put on some gloves to protect your skin from irritation.

If your toothbrush smells bad and you can’t figure out why, it’s probably because there’s mold in this little area.

To keep your base clean over time, try to wipe it off whenever it looks wet. This will help keep mold and mildew at bay.

You should never submerge your toothbrush body in water, since that can lead to an electric shock.

Rinsing your toothbrush keeps it clean, which makes it better for cleaning your teeth.

If you notice that your bristles are bent or flattened, it’s time to get a new toothbrush head.

Try not to put your toothbrush in a closed container, since this could lead to mold or bacteria buildup.

Don’t forget to bring the charger!
