Toothbrushes can accumulate germs and bacteria during use, so it’s important to replace your toothbrush regularly . According to dentists, your toothbrush should be replaced every three to four months, or when the bristles have become worn or messy. And this is where you can choose not to throw away your toothbrush but to recycle it. But how can you make a deteriorated toothbrush still a useful object for fine cleaning?
Cut the bristles of the toothbrush
For some it may seem absurd, yet cutting the bristles of even a new toothbrush brings enormous benefits . In fact, when the soft bristles of a newly purchased toothbrush sprout, they will inevitably become more rigid and bristly.
