Green Cleaning at Home: Reuse That Old Toothbrush

After your next dentist visit when you come home with a shiny new toothbrush, stop yourself before you throw out your old one! There’s still life for those bristles after it’s scrubbed its last incisor. Old toothbrushes are nifty for getting into those hard to clean areas where a sponge just can’t compete. Try using it to clean the soles of sneakers, or the grout between your tiles. Do you have a grimy track for your shower door? It’s no match for a toothbrush. There are plenty of uses for that little brush that the American Dental Association never dreamt of, so keep them around for a second chapter in their lives. Feel free to let us know how you reuse your old toothbrushes!
