If your tooth brush falls on the floor do you though it away or wash it?

Answer 1

Wash it the same way you would your hands. With hot soapy water. Do this every time before you use your toothbrush.

Fecal coliforms, read about them here:

Say no more!

Answer 2

It would really depend on where it fell at. ie. was it at home, or maybe while your on a trip at hotel. If it dropped to the floor at home sterilizing it under hot water should be fine. I would say if at somewhere else I would think toss it and get a new one. Also a good rule to remember is to replace your toothbrush about every 3months

Answer 3

You wash it! I'm suprised you even had to ask. Where was that toothbrush when you woke up with a stink coming out of your mouth so bad, you got high every time you exhaled? It was there, ready to help! No man (or man made object) left behind....

Answer 4

THROW IT AWAY...you walk on the floor with your shoes and your shoes walk all over the streets collecting gross bacteria that you don't want to risk putting in your mouth.

Answer 5

you can put it in a glass of hot water and 3drops of bleach for 10 minutes. my environmental biology teacher told me to do that every month rather than buying a new brush every month (which dentist suggest)

Answer 6

Just wash it with soap..cant afford to throw my toothbrush evrytime it falls..

Answer 8

Answer 9

Answer 10
