I use them to clean mud off shoes and especially if we get any dog poo on them as can then throw brush away. Also same use for mobility scooter wheels.

Also use to clean overflow on sink.

Whoa….check out this page…hmmm, and I thought this was only for the kids

I use them when cleaning bicycle chains, they make good scrubbing tools.

If you have a lot then use them to clean the cat box out. I clean my catbox a lot and I don’t like to use something that needs to be cleaned because it just seems gross.

So, you can use it and throw it away!

If they are small enough they make good tools to clean jewelry, especially rings and the like.

I use Terradent toothbrushes. I’ve had the same toothbrush for the past couple years because Terradent allows you to change the brush part. It’s still an issue- what to do with th old brush part? Here’s Terradent’s website:

I was just about to post the same thing. I’ve had the same Terradent 31 toothbrush for a year or so now, and I love it. At least when you throw the brush head away it’s a much tinier contribution to the landfill than a whole brush every few months.

I use them as a paintbrush/paint splatter-er. When I’m through with that, I take the bristles off and bend them into bracelets ;)

After soaking them in hydrogen peroxide I use them to clean the inside threads of baby bottles.

I soften the neck with a candle flame so I can bend the head back at an angle to be able to scrub bottom seams of bottles and the like.

I also use them to clean the gunk out of my combs.

I use old toothbrushes as an eyebrow brush.

Basically - any hard to reach area or places that need a gentle touch can be cleaned with an old toothbrush.

I use them to clean off rocks! playing out in the mud at the reservoir with the dogs finding crystals and agates, the old toothbrush gets into all the nooks and cranny’s either while your there in the creek or at home in the sink!

If you’re using a plain, older, standard toothbrush, you can turn them into cool-looking bracelets. Varying colors can give you a unique set of bangles.

You can do this by boiling them for a few minutes. Using pliers, pull out the bristles. Then boil them a few minutes more and then mold them around a glass or other object, then try it on and make adjustments for it to fit your wrist.

Mine is a great conversation starter whenever I wear it.

Here’s a picture I found to give a visual aid:

Good luck!

Use for cleaning small spaces. Also, if you are an artist, toothbrushes make interesting strokes.

take out the bristles and wow! space age action figure weapons! Kids love ‘em

remove the bristles, soak in boiling water (BE CAREFUl!) and bend to form a unique bracelet.

I use them to clean the battery terminals on my car.

Ya, you have to use a certain kind of tooth brush to make one, so make sure you have the right tooth brush. I think this is an AWESOME idea!

Not into the idea of a toothbrush bracelet? If you’ve got stretched ear-lobes (or other bits), you can make plugs out of slices of the handle instead:

I keep an old toothbrush to clean the algae off of my fish tank’s glass. The long handle lets me scrub without getting arm-deep in fish water, and the bristles are effective at cleaning the algae off and not scratching the glass.
