I always keep my old toothbrushes since they really come in handy when cleaning. The other day I dropped some chocolate onto a white t-shirt. When treating it before the laundry, I thought of another purpose for my old toothbrush. I use Oral B Pulsar toothbrushes that vibrate and thought treating this stain might be a good use for this toothbrush. I have seen in the stores what looks to be a large vibrating toothbrush for sale in the laundry aisle. Instead of forking over the $10 for it, I will just use my old toothbrush that still has some battery life left.
It worked well enough. The stain is gone and that’s all the really matters – plus I get to re-purpose a toothbrush. Now I’m no longer tempted to buy yet another gizmo since I have something at home that probably works just as well.
Yeah I keep old toothbrushes as well. Good for cleaning around taps etc lol
Thanks for the tip. I never thought of that!
toothbrushes are very useful. joe uses an old one to clean the bottles from his fuel belt.
I think that toothbrushes are great for all kinds of cleaning, but I hadn’t thought about doing exactly what you did in this one… Great story!
I like how you basically stuck it to the man by not buying a new product, and went a wee bit green by re-appropriating something you were going to throw away
Great Idea! Why buy new when you can reuse?
Oh ya. toothbrushes r real useful. can b used even after its no more good for cleaning tooth. I use the toothbrush for cleaning things sometimes. its very effective.
