It’s no secret that your toothbrush should be changed every two months.

Instead of mercilessly sending an old accessory to the landfill, its useful service for the benefit of all family members can be extended.

If the bristles are still there, use a brush to clean the grater, because when cleaning it after using it to chop, for example, vegetables, it is so easy to cut your hands on the sharp edges of the working surface.

In addition, a toothbrush will serve as an excellent tool for removing sticky deposits from household appliances - a toaster, microwave or stove.

It is convenient to use it to remove dried dirt from shoes, and when it comes to the soles of boots or shoes, the brush has no equal.

This same tool can be used to tidy up old tools or dusty parts in the garage.

Are you wondering how to clean the grout between tiles in your bathroom or kitchen? Arm yourself with a brush – this task will become several times easier with it.

And if you slightly heat the plastic handle, the brush can be bent so that you can easily reach dirt accumulated in hard-to-reach places - narrow cracks or corners.

Some pet owners find that an old toothbrush can be a great substitute for a comb, removing fur.

Finally, the toothbrush can be used to clean regular pet grooming brushes or human massage brushes.
