To sterilise new toothbrushes?

[Petsinmypudenda]

Actually i know i an not being unreasonable. I don't know what's been done to it before it goes into its box.

Husband says its weird but no its not, he is just a filthy minge

Bunbaker I have known people with OCD who do 'weirder' things than boiling a toothbrush. They were sane though just not functioning like most other people in some respects. I am really regretting trying to help this poster as I got taken in by this 'joke' thread. Oh well, I'll chalk it up to experience.

Not a wind up I promise.

Honestly you should all do it.

Dh is cackling with glee because you all sided with him

Do you sterilise fruit and veg before eating it? Not just wash it but sterilise it?

TBH I worry more about what my cleaner will do with mine if I p1ss her off than what might have happened to it before it went in its sterile little packet.

You do also know that we need bacteria to live, right? The increasingly sterile environment in which we live is not healthy.

I've seen the yakult adverts. I know about friendly bacteria.

I cant afford a cleaner so i know it wont get wiped round the loo rim im im mean...Although dh might...

Unreasonable? Not really. A bit loca? Possibly! If it makes you feel better though and you have the time, then boil away, but realise that your choice is quite extreme and others are not mingers for not sterilising!
