We're making use of old toothbrushes as a cleaning tool this week. And for our final roundup, we're putting the toothbrush to work on our clothing and accessories.
1. Jewelry and belts. Necklaces, rings, brooches, hairpins, and belt buckles are small in size and they can be easily cleaned with toothbrushes that have soft bristles.
2. Suede. When cleaning suede, it's important to brush off the dirt and get the material slightly fuzzy. A toothbrush is ideal since it can gently catch and take out any dirt around seams while also working up the suede.
3. Shoe soles. Last but not least, put the toothbrush to work on the bottom of your shoes. Chances are we walk on more undesirable things than we'd like to think and they get caught in the grooves on our soles. A toothbrush will pull all of it right out.
