where do you keep your toothbrushes?

[gymboywalton]

and if you keep them in a container, how often do you clean the container?

i am going to bump this before i go out

These days, ours are in a plastic mug as modern toothbrushes with their 'ergonomic grip' won't fit into those old fashioned wall-hanging things!

I wash the bottom of the mug out every week or so, but it can be a bit rank . Note we don't use that mug to mouth-wash from!

The DSs have a quarter circle glass shelf beside their sink, and they place their brushes so the head faces down off the edge of the shelf. This of course means the shelf gets a wet line on it which also needs a wipe weekly!

toothbrushes in a plastic tumbler that gets dishwashered when I remember

electric toothbrush heads are in a hobby box with compartments that dh dishwashers weekly.

In a container, which I wipe/wash whenever I clean the bathroom. It usually goes in the basin along with the soapdish to get a swirl-and-rinse.

electric toothbrushes all sit at the side of the sink

we keep ours in a purpose made ceramic container and as you said-it gets RANK
i was wondering if i am doing something wrong/missing a trick

We have a plastic cup with a lid with holes for the toothbrushes, type thing, and yes, it does get to look grubby quite quickly if I don't remember to clean it regularly

i mean inside the cup-i clean ours out every week but i am going to have start doing it every other day i think[shudder]

I use disposable plastic cups in the cup holder on the wall, cos I smashed the glass!
Bin the cup when yucky.

Electric ones on their stands. Ordinary ones in a glass I wash once in a while (these brushes are not used much) and ds's brush is wherever he has left it.

we have electric toothbrushes and they all get put away inside the bathroom cabinet. It does mean I have to clean that more often but I just do it when I'm stuck in the bathroom supervising one of the DC redicously long baths
I don't like toothbrushes out on display. I think they should be a bit further away from toilet germs etc. but that's personal preference.

ooohhh poltergoose-liking that holder
might try and get hold of one-thank you

In the cabinet above the sink. I put a folded flannel on the shelf to catch drips. I change that when I remember every week.

Here's a tip - get some denture cleaning tablets and, every so often, drop one into bottom of toothbrush mug with some water, and leave to soak overnight before washing up/dish washing as normal. Works a treat.

In a ceramic pot at the side of the sink. The pot goes in the dishwasher once a week.
