Toothbrushes and Bacteria01/08/2010 |
Since toothbrushes can carry bacteria, what is the best way to clean or sterilize, store, and care for a toothbrush?
We recommend storing them in a cabinet to prevent splatter from flushing and airborne germs. Replacing them is the best option anytime someone has been sick; replace at least every 6 months.
