Replace your toothbrush often. Your dentist gives you a new one at every 6-month checkup, so take the hint!
When you replace your toothbrush with a new one, however, don't throw it away! Here are some uses for your old toothbrush:
Scrubbing brush - old toothbrushes are ideal to unblock the vents on small appliances such as vacuum cleaners, cleaning tile grout, grimy combs,
Crevice cleaner - can be used with metal polish to clean silverware, brassware etc. (use gently so as not to damage the item), or with furniture polish to remove dust from carved wood.
Manicure - use a soft toothbrush and soapy water to clean finger and toe nails.
Motor cleanser - dip a toothbrush in paraffin to get oil out of difficult nooks and crannies.
