I've seen discussion about how to sanitize our toothbrushes here before...

Anyone tried the ultraviolet toothbrush sanitizers?

Do they work for yeast?

Thanks for any thoughts on this,
Cactus

I soak mine in hydrogen peroxide. Put some in a little cup and drop it in!

Just leave it in the hydrogen peroxide over night?

You can clean a toothbrush by rubbing the bristles over a bar of soap, then rubbing them between your fingers. Rinse well.

Blot dry with your towel, and let air dry.

Hydrogen peroxide will foam when it hits dead cells, which is why it's so helpful in cleaning pus out of wounds. You still need to rinse the wound out with normal saline solution or clean water.

Scrubbing a toothbrush with soap and water is like washing your hands with soap and water.
The mechanical action loosens and washes away bacteria and viruses.
