Method 4 for Cleaning Your Toothbrush: Rotate It

Some people recommend allowing a toothbrush to dry thoroughly before using it again. Therefore, it is helpful to have at least two toothbrushes. Alternate between the two each time you brush your teeth. You might want to get into the habit of using a specific toothbrush in the morning and another one in the evening so you don't have to remember which toothbrush you last used. If you typically brush three times per day, three toothbrushes would work well for this method.

Method 5 for Cleaning Your Toothbrush: Separate It

The family toothbrush holder that holds multiple toothbrushes is really not a good idea, as toothbrushes kept together in the same container often end up touching, which can result in the spread of germs. Keep your toothbrushes in separate containers to avoid cross contamination.
