Luxury Housing Trends & Home Improvement Ideas

Once a month it’s easy to find yourself needing a new toothbrush. If you brush your teeth about two to three times a day, the bristles become deformed fast and brush more of your gums than your teeth. It’s also a good idea to change your toothbrush when you get sick, so you don’t risk getting the same cold again. Regardless of when or why you get a new toothbrush, you always have old ones lying around or being thrown into the trash. Instead of wasting so many toothbrushes, try using them around the house.

Old toothbrushes can be especially useful in the bathroom. If you want your faucets and bathtub tile to look spotless, you can use those scrubbing bristles to your advantage. Or you can use it as an eyebrow brush. Although there are brushes specifically made for the eyebrows, it doesn’t mean an old toothbrush can do the job just as well. The brush can also be turned into a fingernail brush when you are doing manicures or getting dirt out from under your nails.

The old bristles can also be useful in the laundry room and garage. When you have a set in stain on one of your favorite shirts or pants, you can use stain remover and your handy old toothbrush to pull it out. This comes in handy when you have kids. In the garage, you can use the bristles to shine your hubcaps or cleaning off tools. You might also have dirty work boots or shoes in the garage, which you can get clean again with the brush.
