After brushing their teeth, many people simply leave their toothbrush on the sink or shelf.
The tool ends up in a horizontal position, which the owners of the device usually don’t see as anything wrong with.
However, you still shouldn't put the brush down like that.
The fact is that this type of storage for teeth cleaning tools can lead to very serious consequences.
Why can't the brush be stored horizontally?
In this case, water will remain in the bristles of the tool. Dangerous microorganisms multiply in a humid environment.
As a result, a toothbrush that is supposed to help maintain hygiene turns into a device that clearly does not contribute to oral hygiene.
How to store a toothbrush correctly?
It must be placed in a glass so that the instrument is in a vertical position.
In this case, the liquid will drain. The bristles will dry much faster. The risk of bacteria proliferation will be minimal.
In addition, when in a cup, the brush will definitely not come into contact with dirty surfaces.
