24 Ingenious Alternative Uses For a Toothbrush To Save You Money & Time Natural Health Remedies
Alternative uses for a toothbrush Intro We all hopefully know what a toothbrush is, and how this little bathroom tool is most commonly used. But before you go to throw your old toothbrush away – stop. It’s not just limited for cleaning teeth, and chances are, it’s still got enough life left in it to be used for a whole host of tasks around your home. Stay tuned for our top tips for alternative uses of your old toothbrush. 1. Clean kitchen appliances Toothbrushes are small and nifty enough to get into all the gaps in your appliances. Scrub out all the toast crumbs from your toaster using your used toothbrush. Other appliances with hard to reach places include microwaves and coffee machines. 2. Remove clothes stains We’ve all had bad experiences with trying to get persistent stains out of our clothes. Luckily, there’s nothing a bit of toothbrush-scrubbing can’t get rid of. Apply a stain remover on the stain and gently scrub with your used toothbrush until the mark is gone. 3. Clean your chopping board Chopping boards are particularly easy to clean when they have a depression around the edge that you can’t get your washing-up sponge into. A simple solution for making sure chopping boards are bacteria-free is to use a toothbrush. Once you start cleaning your chopping board with your used toothbrush, you'll never use anything else! Unlike a wipe, it gets deep into any crevice. 4. Clean grout grime off tiles No matter how careful you are, you're bound to end up with some dirt, mould and grime in the joints between your bathroom tiles. A toothbrush works great to clean excess grime from grout joints, especially for the skinny joints between mosaic tiles. Just combine baking soda and water to make a paste and dunk your used toothbrush in it. Use it to clear out the gunk, repeating if necessary. This works like a charm and leaves your tiles gleaming. 5. Brush your eyebrows Beauty and grooming tools can be so pricey these days, and who really wants to pay anything for an eyebrow comb? If you want an easy way to neaten up your eyebrows every morning, just give your used toothbrush a wash and re-use it as an eyebrow brush. It may also work as a moustache comb, providing you don’t have too much facial hair. 6. Clean your fingernails There’s nothing more frustrating than getting dirt up your fingernails that just won’t come out, no matter how much scrubbing you do with soap. If nothing seems to work, try brushing out that dirt with your toothbrush. Put a little soap and water on the brush and you’re all set. You’ll essentially be giving yourself a nice little manicure treatment, too. 7. Scrub those tricky spots around the taps Whether in your kitchen or bathroom, taps and faucets are prone to a build-up of grime in their cracks and crevices. An old toothbrush is perfect for tackling those hard to reach corners around your sink areas. Just wet the area with white vinegar and get stuck in. 8. Apply hair dye Some home hair dye kits are better than others. If your hair dyeing kit didn’t come with a handy little separating comb, don’t stress – just apply your hair dye using a toothbrush. For quick touch ups to grey or roots, you can keep things even simpler by applying mascara to a toothbrush and brushing into your desired areas. This will help blend the colour into your hair better than a flimsy mascara wand. 9. Remove crayon marks on the wall If you’ve got kids, you’ll know the struggle of cleaning up after their mess. Sometimes, children can get a little too creative, and their artwork “accidentally” makes it onto their bedroom walls. Don’t worry, though, if they’ve used crayons, the marks won’t be permanent. Just use shaving cream and a used toothbrush to remove crayon marks in no time at all.
