Philips Sonicare 2 Series and Quip electric toothbrushes both come with easy to use travel cases.
You can find generic electric toothbrush travel cases online or in most pharmacy stores. Ask a store employee for assistance.
Oral-B makes electric toothbrushes that come with travel caps, and they also sell travel caps separately. Violife is another brand that makes electric toothbrushes that come with travel caps.
Insert your toothbrush handle and heads into their pockets. Fold the top down to protect the toothbrush and roll it up. Use about 18 inches (46 cm) of ribbon to tie it together. To keep the travel case clean, simply wash the washcloth in the washing machine.
Avoid placing your brush in a cabinet or other closed container where air circulation is reduced. Your brush will remain moist for longer and may grow more bacteria. Store brush heads on countertops, near the sink, or on the wall in holder pockets.
If you have a small bathroom, consider keeping your toothbrush on a counter in the hallway or bedroom to keep it far enough away from the toilet.
Unless multiple people in your household share the same electric toothbrush motor for their individual heads, you also have the option of just standing your electric toothbrush up on a flat surface between each use.
Baby food jars would be a good size to store individual electric brush heads. You can even personalize them with paint or stickers.
Attach a suction cup hook to each upper corner of the towel and attach your wall pockets to the wall with the suction cups.
If you’re using wooden blocks, use wood glue and allow the glue to dry according to the instructions on the bottle before placing your toothbrush heads inside.
Children’s toothbrush heads may need replaced sooner than adult ones if they strenuously brush or bite the bristles.
Do not try putting your toothbrush in the microwave or dishwasher to sanitize it. These methods may in fact damage your brush bristles and lead to a decrease in its effectiveness to clean your teeth.
Store your replacement heads in the original box until after it’s open, and once you open it, in a sealed plastic container.
