Would washing toothbrush with soap just work?




A cheap method would be to leave the brush head soak overnight in a saline solution. Use tap water or COLD water from boiled kettle plus small amount salt.

I also have seen recommendations to microwave your toothbrush.

Heat and plastic as a combination always scares me, I'd probably avoid microwaving toothbrushes if I were you.

Any antibaterial would work
