Beyond dental hygiene, toothbrushes can serve you well as a cost-effective, cleaning tool. Here, the best ways to tackle your bathroom with a toothbrush.1. Shower door and tub lining. Certainly we've all seen how quickly mold and grime can build up under those sliding glass doors and around the tub. Dip the bristles of a toothbrush in some vinegar and scrub the hard-to-clean areas along the runners and tub perimeter. The grime will come right off.
2. Drains. Like it or not, gunk gathers fast in your bathroom and kitchen drains. The bristles on a toothbrush will help you reach every small inch of it. First, pour some vinegar down the drain, and then scrub the grime away with a toothbrush.
3. Sink and faucets. Mildew can collect fast in sink edges and around the faucet base, and it's difficult to remove all of it with a sponge or even a disinfecting wipe. Bring in a toothbrush to get into small areas behind and around the sink and faucet. The dirt will come right out.
4. Toilet seat. Save this one for last...for obvious reasons. But a toothbrush works wonders around the hinges and the edges under the seat.
