The toothbrush can be used to clean some of the hardest-to-reach places in the home. Even your old toothbrush will do.
Clean the toothbrush beforehand with bleach or dishwashing detergent to ensure that you start out germ-free. Use your toothbrush to pre-treat stains. Use this to rub a little dishwashing liquid or stain remover onto the spot on your garment before putting it in the wash. You can also use it to remove lint from the lint filter in your dryer. The tiny spaces between the keyboard keys and the TV remote control buttons are a magnet for crumbs and dust. Use them to get into the crevices where the faucet handles can meet.
