1. After buying a new toothbrush, I soak it in saline (a tablespoon of salt in a glass of water) for about an hour. After that, I thoroughly rinse it under running water. This procedure allows strengthen the bristles and extend the life of this hygiene product. But it must be remembered that after 2 months, even if the bristles are in perfect order, you need to replace the toothbrush, otherwise you risk cleaning your teeth poorly. By the way, to carry out the same operation with a broom or with a floor brush, they will also last much longer, but in this case it is better to soak in a hot saline solution.
