I have a roll of paper towels in my bathroom I use for everything. I rarely use a hand towels at all. I use paper towels to dry off my toothbrush etc. I use and throw away. Much less germ- ie.

I soak ours in white vinegar first.

My husband and son share a dental practice. I have never sterilized a new toothbrush.

I have a Sonicare toothbrush that I got a few years ago. It came with a UV brush sanitizer. My brush gets sanitized after each use. That's all I do with mine.

I don't do anything with/to them. I never have, except to rinse them in hot water after each use.

We bought one of these and absolutely love it. It has a built-in UV sanitizer. It really does a terrific job. It's a Philips Sonicare Flexcare Rechargeable Sonic Toothbrush.

I never washed a new toothbrush. I can't imagine why I would do that. I change my toothbrush at least once a month. They are not expensive and I just like having a new one. After brushing, I run the brush under scalding hot water, that's it. I also do the same for my sonic care brushes. I can't imagine having a brush for months. If I decided to wash a new one for some reason, I would just scald it I guess.

I have never done that before. I don't wash new clothes before I wear them either.

I have been pouring peroxide over my toothbrushes for years to disinfect them. Each bathroom has a large bottle for this purpose. This trick is what stopped the frequent viruses and infections my girls used to get as children.

I bought the same and it sits packed up. DH says it tickles too much.
