Where Do You Keep Your Toothbrush?
Certain habits persist until we feel motivated to change them. Bacteria are everywhere, even in the air we breathe. Placing your toothbrush near the toilet can cause bacterial growth from even the smallest of toilet droplets. To prevent this, keeping the toothbrush at least 6 feet away from the toilet is advised.
Replace your toothbrush every 3 months to maintain effectiveness and avoid cross-contamination with others. Additionally, washing it with hot water after each use helps remove bacteria.
