Every time we flush the commode, soiled water roils in the bowl and possibly into the air, to settle on everything in the bathroom, including an exposed tooth ush. If the tooth ush isn’t properly stored or sanitized, it may be contaminated with bacteria.
To remedy this, place a cap over tooth ush bristles and store it in a covered place. Or for more protection, purchase a UV sanitizer either online or locally. With this little gadget (many varieties are available), we can keep our tooth ush stored safely during the day and sanitized during the night. Sanitizing should be conducted at least once a week.
