A Clean Toothbrush plus a Giveaway!
Today it’s another installment in the Arm & Hammer Switch & Save Challenge.
Since school started my family has been plagued with little niggling coughs and colds. What’s up with that?
Last year one of my kids received a perfect attendance award. We hardly were sick a single day in the whole school year.
This year is a different story. We have a good bedtime routine, so I can’t blame it on lack of sleep, but for whatever reason, we’ve just not been up to snuff.
Even I’ve had a bad cold and I’m guessing a sinus infection the last few days. Yuck.
Whenever my family has been sick and rundown, I like to wipe down door handles and light switches throughout the house to get rid of lurking germs.
I also try to remember to clean our toothbrushes. What better place for a germ to hide?
Here are a few good ways to clean your toothbrushes:
- Pour enough straight vinegar in a cup to cover the head of your toothbrush. Soak overnight.
- I often use hydrogen peroxide to clean our toothbrushes. Mix 1 teaspoon of hydrogen peroxide to 1 cup of water. Pour enough into a cup to soak the head of your toothbrush. Soak overnight. Rinse before using in the morning.
- When I was little and one of us kids had strep (or some other nasty bug) my mom used to put our toothbrushes into a mug and pour boiling water over them to get rid of germs.
With a little effort on my part, I’m hoping to nip this sick trend in the bud.
Now for a giveaway!
