RE: How do you clean a toothbrush?
What I did was got a small cup and put a capful of bleach in the cup and filled the rest of the cup with hot water and put my tooth brush in the cup for 2 minutes. Then I scrubbed my tooth brush under hot water and made sure all the bleach was off and then I washed it with cold water then brushed my teeth it really worked.

I agree with the last poster. Just, for Pete's sake, buy them a new one! They can't cost that much. I'd vomit if I tried to brush my teeth with some of the ones you've all described here! Pett hair, toilet!! Yuck!

I think that's disgusting. Can't you parents afford to buy your kid a new toothbrush? Don't give him any pocket money or something.

Can you bleach a toothbrush after having strep throat?
Editor's Note: It would probably be better to soak it in mouthwash but you could soak it in a little bleach in a glass of water.

Clean them with soap and rince. Take 1 part bleach with 3 parts water in a glass and soak the heads for 10 minutes. Rince well with cold water. After brushing run COLD water over brush then tap the side on the sink to shake off the water.

BLEACH---> Pour just enough bleach to wet the toothbrush in a small cup. Leave it in the bleach for about 1 minute, then rinse out the toothbrush well.
Pour the used bleach into the toilet & wash the cup out right away so no one drinks from the unwashed cup!
Bleach will kill any & all germs but be careful not to get any bleach on you or your clothes or it will ruin your clothes!
*** DO NOT LEAVE THE BLEACH & TOOTHBRUSH UNATTENDED! ***
-----> You don't want a child or a pet to get into it!

I just put dishsoap on the bristles and rinsed it under hot water for several seconds.

The AquaFresh company has a product on the market, they put out last year called 'AquaBlast', specially made for cleaning toothbrushes and retainers.

Rite-Aid and Walgreens both have toothbrushes for free after rebate this week. One store had one for free and the other had two.. I can't remember which store had what though.

Yes, you can put your toothbrush in the dishwasher to sanitize it. Doctors actually recommend this after someone has a cold so they don't re-infect themselves with their toothbrush.
You can also soak the toothbrush in Listerine.

Hi Kelly. Well when my son brushed the cat with his toothbrush (yuck), I put his in a cup of rubbing alcohol overnight to sanitize it. Worked for us. Hope it works for you. Aren't kids wonderful. P.S. Hide your toothbrush or you'll be next ;)
