If a toothbrush wears out, many people throw it away right away. But why throw a toothbrush in the trash?

It has 7 ways to use it that will make your life much easier.

Basic cleaning agent

A toothbrush will help you in many things. It can be used to clean:

  1. Shoes.
  2. Dirty things.
  3. Old tools.

It can be used at home, in the garage and even in the master's corners. The main condition: the toothbrush should always be at hand, then there should be no special problems with its use.

Cleaning tile joints

Over time, tile joints in the bathroom become clogged with debris, and mold and mildew begin to appear at the joints. A toothbrush will be a universal solution for cleaning the joints. It is advisable to use special chemicals for cleaning, and then use a brush.

If you don't have any special products at hand, you can make a solution of soda and vinegar, which will also cope with such dirt. Of course, cleaning tile joints is a complex process that will take a lot of time and effort from each person.

Cleaning the grater

Every housewife knows how difficult it is to clean a grater after active use. It takes a lot of effort and time. It is not uncommon for people to cut themselves while washing. If you have a toothbrush at hand, the problem should be a thing of the past. It is not a pity to damage a toothbrush on the blades of a grater, so such a device can be called universal in every sense.

Hair styling

It can also be used for cosmetic procedures. If you don't have a comb at hand, a regular brush can be a substitute. Of course, there will be no comfort, but in extreme cases, a brush can be a real salvation.

Tiles in the kitchen

Getting rid of dirt on the work surface is always difficult, even if you have powerful chemicals that quickly dissolve grease and other dirt. The problem is that dirt and grease get stuck in hard-to-reach places.

If you use a regular kitchen sponge, as many do, then cleaning will take a lot of time and effort. An old toothbrush penetrates well into all hard-to-reach places and significantly speeds up cleaning. At the same time, it is worth choosing the right brush stiffness. If we are talking about new plates, then corresponding damage may remain on the surface.

Keyboard

It should be no secret that the computer keyboard is one of the dirtiest places in the house. Compared to the surface of the toilet, the keyboard always has more germs. Don't forget about crumbs, dust and other contaminants.

It is recommended to wash the keyboard once a month. This process can be simplified a little if you use a toothbrush. Things will be a little easier if you remove all the keys.

Cleaning the sink

The kitchen sink requires special care. Fat, dirt and other contaminants constantly accumulate there. A toothbrush should be used together with powerful chemicals to achieve a good effect. As practice shows, a toothbrush will be used only once to clean the sink.
