10 tips for reusing an old toothbrush


You know me...I am all about finding new ways to use old things!  Here are 10 ways to reuse those old toothbrushes!  If you have more ideas, please leave them in the comments!  Happy cleaning!!

1. Clean cheese graters and garlic presses
2. Scrub shower tracks and in between tiles
3. Scrub away dust and dirt along baseboards
4. Clean blades on manual or electric can openers 
5. Scrub away slime and soap buildup around sink faucets
6. Use as a scrubber when cleaning jewelry (works great on wedding rings!!)
7. Scrub off buildup between the teeth of hair combs
8. Use as a scrubber when spot cleaning stains from clothing and carpets
9. Scrape away crumbs from the inside the toaster (Unplugged, of course!)
10. Scrub silk hairs from corn after shucking (you may want to buy a cheap, new toothbrush for this one but it works, so I wanted to add it to the list!!)

If you have several toothbrushes you're reusing, be sure to label them. You certainly don't want to use the same toothbrush for scrubbing your corn that's been used to clean the bathroom shower tracks….Yuck
