Guest guest Posted December 23, 2003 Report Share Posted December 23, 2003 They do make these contraptions to sanatize toothbrushes, i am not sure if they kills all bugs but have looked it up via internet before but do not have link still. If you find it send it to me. LOL I have a sink faucet with very hot h2o I use antibacterial soap and that. I rinse it well. I always change out his toothbrush everytime he gets the slightest bug or cold. I let it air dry and do not store it away in closed space. I would love to hear everyone elses suggestions also. Boiling did not work for my sons toothbrush. LOL. I wanted to wash it in control III but you can NOT consume it it is dangerous to humans and animals if consumed.

Guest guest Posted December 23, 2003 Report Share Posted December 23, 2003 I ALSO SOAK IN THE SAME THING THAT FALSE TEETH ARE RINSED IN . LIKE EFFERDENT DENTURE CLEANER TABLETS.THEY ARE TO KILL GERMS. I THINK PERHAPS A DENTIST MIGHT TELL YOU WHAT THEY STERILIZE THEIR'S IN . I DONT THINK THEY ALL HAVE THE OLD MEDAL " HEATER " THINGS NOW. ALSO, HOW ABOUT WHAT THEY STERILIZE THE COMBS/BRUSHES AT SHOPS IN ?? WE HAVE ALWAYS JUST USED THE LITTLE TABLETS DROPPED IN WATER (WARM-THEN IT FIZZLES UP ) . LET SOAK , RINSE & THEN IN AIR DRY AREA. LET US KNOW IF ANYONE HAS SOME IDEAS & WHAT THEY DO WITH THEIRS. HOW ABOUT IT , DENTIST?? :) THANKS LOVE & HUGS, GRANDMOMBEV sorry about the caps.

Guest guest Posted December 23, 2003 Report Share Posted December 23, 2003 There is actually a new toothbrush sanitizing system that I have seen advertised. it looks like a tablet dropped in water type of thing. Check at your local pharmacy for it. I can't remember what one but it is made by a toothpaste company......... I think that there is also one that is a machine but I don't know how it works. I just wash 's really well, let it air dry and change it often.
