This week's topic --- old toothbrushes

Uses for toothbrushes other than brushing your teeth! I have old toothbrushes everywhere in my house, underneath the kitchen sink, in my bathroom shower and laundry room. Toothbrushes are so inexpensive that once they get tattered I toss them out and add a new one! See what I use toothbrushes for:


Cleaning:
~ I keep a toothbrush in my shower to clean the grout in the tile with.
~ The grout in my kitchen and front entrance tile looks new after cleaning it with a toothbrush.
~ Clean computer keyboards.

~ Clean mud or dirt from the bottom soles of sneakers/shoes.
~ Clean the sippy cup tops in the small crevices.
~ One of my favorite uses is cleaning stains on clothes, I add a bit of detergent on a stain and then scrub it with a toothbrush.
~ Clean around your bathroom or kitchen sink fixtures.
~ Cleaning jewelry with.
~ Clean glass sliding door tracks.


Arts and Crafts:

~ You can use a toothbrush for crafts with your kids like paint flickering on paper.
~ Use as a paintbrush
~ Spread glue with.
~  Make a bracelet.
