Uses for the free dentist toothbrush

It’s not that I don’t appreciate the free toothbrush, but we just end up with so many and for a toothbrush that is recommended by the dentist, they really aren’t that great. So what can you use these toothbrushes for besides brushing your teeth?

The thing I’ve learned: don’t get rid of the free toothbrush.

Cleaning: I use these when I keep my stove drip pans. Half baking soda, half dish soap mixture onto the drip pan and use the toothbrush to get along the inner rim.

Painting: Use it when your kids want to paint and you can’t find a paintbrush. Kids LOVE when they get to use unconventional materials. I’ve also used paintbrushes and food coloring to “paint” pieces of bread for the kids.

And last but certainly not least - actually the BEST - baby hair control: hairspray + free toothbrush = control of those pesky but totally worth it baby hairs. Spray the toothbrush with hairspray and use the brush to comb the hairs into the rest of your hair.
