We're making use of old toothbrushes as a cleaning tool this week. Today, we've rounded up a few of the best ways to clean with a toothbrush in the kitchen.1. Appliance knobs. Probably one of the hardest (and dirtiest) things to clean in the kitchen are the knobs on the stove, dishwasher, and other appliances. Considering all the traffic they get, from wet hands to fingers with hardly noticeable sauce stains, knobs require careful cleaning and attention. Sponges and wipes don't do the job since dirt gets stuck around and in the edges. So bring out a toothbrush, which lets you work under and behind these knobs where the real grime is.
2. Vents. Safety first: You can't spray cleaner into the vents as it will burn out the fans, so here's a safer alternative. Dip a clean, old rag in cleaner so that it's a little wet and wrap it around the head of a toothbrush. You've just made the perfect tool for cleaning out the vents in microwaves, refrigerators (it lets you get between those slats), and above the stove.
