Posts Tagged ‘reuse an old toothbrush’

The Arm & Hammer Switch & Save Challenge is coming to an end with this post and giveaway.  Arm & Hammer Baking Soda is my longtime favorite product for cleaning (and cookies!), but I had never really tried Arm & Hammer’s other products.  I’ve been so impressed how they’ve matched up both in price and quality with the products I’ve used in the past.

Since the last product I received to review was the Arm & Hammer Spinbrush ProClean Toothbrush, I thought I’d share how our family makes it do by reusing an old toothbrush.

It’s a trick I learned from my mom.  She’s famous in our family for her cleaning prowess and it’s a family joke that she is such a careful cleaner that she cleans with a toothbrush.

It’s no joke though.  An old toothbrush is an invaluable cleaning tool.

My mom scrubs the grout in her showers, the hard to reach spots behind the faucet on a sink, and in the corners of just about everywhere with an old toothbrush.

Nothing beats a toothbrush for getting into crevices and crannies that can’t be reached with a cloth or a sponge.

I even use an old toothbrush and gentle toothpaste to clean my wedding ring.

So next time you are ready for a new toothbrush, be sure to save the old one for the cleaning bucket.  You’ll be glad you did.

And here’s one quick tip.  I like to mark a cleaning toothbrush with a sharpie pen.  That way the kid’s don’t accidentally try to use the one that was used to scrub the tub!
