What are some uses for old toothbrushes? I have saved all my used one for years and they have all been put through the dishwasher so they are clean. I hate to just throw them away. There must be something they can be used for besides cleaning the grout between my tiles.

I use one to clean the vents of my dehumidifier between washings (brush away from the machine).
I use one to clean the grooves in my wood chairs in the dining room.
When I was doing a lot of paper craft, I would use just the handle (sawed off brush part) as a smoother to spread out glue bubbles.
You can use old toothbrushes to clean hard-to-reach areas of small appliances, clean a fan and window AC filter. They are also great for scrubbing nails, especially after gardening without gloves., and cleaning jewelry.
I've used old clean toothbrushes for brushing stuffed animals after washing them.....it makes the fur nice and fuzzy again. I also have several I use for doing splatter painting projects. I saved a very soft one to brush my cat's teeth. I have one with my makeup to brush eyebrows and to fluff eyelashes after applying mascara... works better than the mascara brush itself. I'm a coin collector, and an old toothbrush and dish soap cleans coins pretty well without scratching them. Old toothbrushes are great for cleaning in very small crevices. You can use them to fluff the ends of yarn, string or twine when doing crafts, like adding fringe to an afghan, or doing macrame.
I believe toothbrushes were made for cleaning anything that has a 'groove or crevice' as when dirt gets trapped inside a groove nothing works better than old toothbrush and q-tips.
Lots of uses!
Some uses I use for old toothbrushes.
Scrubbing shoes, can be a fun arts and crafts project if you have kiddos or little ones (grandkids) to play with paint as a paint brush, tease your hair, hard to reach cleaning spots, clean your ring gently (if the bristles are soft), clean bike chain, applying grease to tools, and so much more!
Clean vents in car, use for hair to clean up edges around the hair line and for up dos use hair spray to get the fly always, cleaning batteries connectors, bike chains
Here are many uses for those toothbrushes - Removing crayon marks , use for grooming (brows) , cleaning finger nails, getting those packed dirt from bottom of shoes, cleans grout and marks on floors, cleaning your jewelry, and small appliances, You can also use for art projects, just to name a few !
Using old toothbrushes for cleaning is the best use for them. You can clean around your kitchen faucet, clean hard to reach places, clean the pieces on your stove to name a few things you and use old toothbrushes for. I normally use one for the filter in the aquarium to clean out the gunk in there. I use another one to help clean the grill on the BBQ this works great.
