How do I Keep my Electric Toothbrush Base and Handle Clean ?

If you follow the recommended tips and cleaning methods above, you should be able to keep that toothpaste gunk and debris from piling up on your electric toothbrush. But, if you’re still finding it’s getting a bit crusty

• Remove the brush head from the handle, and submerge it into a small bowl of hot water.

• Run the toothbrush handle under hot water to help loosen up any gunk.

• Take a cotton swab or cloth, dip it into a mild cleanser, and gently wipe the area down (you shouldn’t need too much pressure to lift it off).

• Use this same process for the toothbrush head.

• Once all gunk is removed, attach the brush head back and run the toothbrush under hot water again.

• Place it in an upright position and let it dry out fully!

Instead of using just plain water for the brush head, you can of course use antibacterial mouthwash, hydrogen peroxide, or a mixture of ½ cup of water, 2 tablespoons of white vinegar and 2 tablespoons of baking soda. Some sites also recommend a bleach solution, but we think that it’s best to keep it safe and not introduce any bleach onto something you put into your mouth.
