If you are about to throw out your old tooth brush, don’t. Run it in the dishwasher and stow it with your other cleaning tools. Trust me, it will come in handy.
Below are a few ways that a Tooth Brush can be used. I like to keep several repurposed toothbrushes in my supply cabinets for different cleaning uses. Here are just a few of those uses:
Grout
Grout can be such a pain to clean. Luckily a tooth brush is the perfect size to clean grout, especially the hard to reach corners. The bristles are small enough to reach into the grout where regular scrubbers can’t and remove hard to reach dirt. Volia! Cleaner Grout!

Here's how you can clean grout with a toothbrush:
1. Choose the right toothbrush: Choose a toothbrush with firm bristles that can effectively scrub the grout.
2. Apply a cleaning solution: Apply a cleaning solution, such as vinegar and baking soda or a commercial grout cleaner (cough cough, The Pink Stuff: The Miracle Cleaning Paste) , to the grout.
3. Let the solution sit: Allow the cleaning solution to sit on the grout for a few minutes to loosen the dirt and grime.
4. Scrub the grout: Use the toothbrush to scrub the grout, applying firm pressure to remove any stains or discoloration.
5. Rinse the grout: Rinse the grout with warm water to remove any remaining cleaning solution.
6. Dry the grout: Use a clean towel to dry the grout to prevent water spots.
Faucets
A toothbrush can be used to clean your faucets and handles especially in the areas you couldn’t regularly get to with a sponge or wipe. I find the best cleaning solution to use with the sink is actually distilled white vinegar and hot water. Distilled white vinegar helps calcium build up on facets and shower heads (also can use a toothbrush for).
Here's how you can clean your faucets with a toothbrush:
1. Choose the right toothbrush: Select a toothbrush with soft bristles that won't scratch the surface of your faucet.
2. Wet the toothbrush: Wet the toothbrush with warm water.
3. Apply a cleaning solution: Apply a cleaning solution, such as vinegar or a mild soap, to the toothbrush.
4. Scrub the faucet: Use the toothbrush to scrub the faucet, paying special attention to any hard-to-reach areas.
5. Rinse the faucet: Rinse the faucet with warm water to remove any remaining cleaning solution.
6. Dry the faucet: Use a clean towel to dry the faucet to prevent water spots.
Overall, using a toothbrush to clean your faucets can be an effective way to remove dirt and grime from hard-to-reach areas. However, be sure to use a soft-bristled toothbrush to avoid scratching the surface of your faucet.
Keyboard
A toothbrush can be used to clean the keys on a keyboard. It's a good idea to clean your keyboard at least once a month to remove any dirt, dust, and grime that may have accumulated. However, if you eat at your desk or use your keyboard frequently throughout the day, you may need to clean it more often. Regular cleaning can help to prevent the buildup of germs and bacteria, which can be harmful to your health.
The Tooth Brush Bristles are just soft enough to clean but not damage Your Keys.

1. Shut down your computer: Shut down your computer and unplug your keyboard before cleaning it.
2. Shake out any debris: Turn your keyboard upside down and gently shake it to remove any loose debris.
3. Use compressed air: Use compressed air to blow out any remaining debris from between the keys.
4. Wipe down the keys: Use a damp cloth or disinfectant wipe to wipe down the keys(our hands have tons of germs that contaminate our keyboards). Avoid using too much water, as it can damage the keyboard.
Clean the crevices: Use a toothbrush to clean the crevices around the keys.
6. Dry the keyboard: Allow the keyboard to air dry completely before plugging it back in.
