Most of us replace our toothbrushes every three months. However, before you throw away an old toothbrush, you should pay attention to the fact that it can be useful for certain household cleaning tasks. UAportal tells you how you can use it.

1. Shower head

The shower head hides invisible germs, so periodic cleaning is essential. An old toothbrush can be the perfect tool, especially when combined with white vinegar.

Fill the container with vinegar and immerse the shower head for an hour or two. After that, remove it and clean it thoroughly with a toothbrush. This technique works wonders in removing any buildup.

2. Tile seams

Tiles often show dirty and discolored seams, which worsens the overall appearance of the room. However, an old toothbrush combined with baking soda will come to the rescue to easily fight dirt in hard-to-reach places. Its narrow bristles are ideal for removing stubborn dirt from tile grout.

3. Renew your scrubbing brush

Combs are unfortunately a breeding ground for germs. It is advisable to clean them at least once a week to maintain good hygiene. Use an old toothbrush for this purpose. By gently brushing the bristles and the surface of the comb, you can remove all the accumulated particles. Some people also prefer to moisten the toothbrush in a solution of water and detergent before brushing.
