Maintaining the hairdryer

The filter at the back gets dirty over time so that the air can no longer circulate properly. It can be easily cleaned using a toothbrush.

Clean the joints

The toothbrush is a great helper when cleaning the bathroom, as it gets into every little nook and cranny. For example, it makes joints and drains sparkling clean again in no time at all. If the dirt is stubbornly stuck, it's best to use a discarded electric toothbrush: It has plenty of cleaning power.

Making kitchen cleaning easier

Strainer, cheese grater, stove knobs, narrow glasses, toaster - not exactly easy to clean with a sponge or large dishwashing brush. Here, too, it's easy with a toothbrush.

Maintaining the keyboard

Headphones, smartphone cases and remote controls can also be given a quick "scrub" with a toothbrush from time to time, which is good for them.
