Don't Rush to Throw Them Away, Here are 4 Benefits of Using Used Toothbrushes for Daily Needs

Kapanlagi.com - Brushing teeth is one way to maintain dental and oral health. Ideally, toothbrushes need to be replaced every three months at most because the bristles are already worn out and potentially become a breeding ground for bacteria.

However, this does not mean that your old toothbrush should be thrown away. There are several other benefits that can be gained from using used toothbrushes for daily needs. What are they?

1. Caring for Sneakers

It is already a common secret that used toothbrushes can be used as an alternative in caring for favorite sneakers. The soft bristles of a toothbrush can be used to clean the outsole and upper of various types of sneakers, from canvas to suede.

2. Cleaning the Chromium Layer of Motor Vehicles

For many people, motor vehicles are not just a means of transportation, but also a complement to their character. So it's no wonder that motor vehicles must be visually clean.

Used toothbrushes can be used to clean the yellowing surface of chromium. The way to do it is by applying chrome polish to the surface of the chromium and smoothing it out with a microfiber cloth. Then, the used toothbrush can be used to clean the remaining dust and stubborn stains.

3. Caring for Your Favorite Jeans

Do your favorite jeans have stubborn stains like food residue? Use an old toothbrush to clean them.

Unlike regular brushes, the diameter of an old toothbrush is smaller, making it possible to reach the nooks and crannies of your stained jeans. Use laundry detergent to help make cleaning those stubborn stains easier.

4. Cleaning Your Computer Keyboard

Cleaning your computer keyboard can be tricky. This is because the spaces between each key can become a trap for dust and debris. An old toothbrush can be used to reach these spaces and make your keyboard cleaner.
