1. Cleaning supplies: 84 Disinfectant, sink
Key Selection Criteria
Material of the electric toothbrush body: ABS plastic
1. Pour some diluted bleach or 84 disinfectant into a basin and soak the brush handle in it. You don’t need much—just enough to cover one side of the bacterial plaque. Let it soak for a while, remembering to flip it over halfway through. After removing it, wipe it dry, and the plaque should be mostly gone.
Practical Use and Maintenance
2. Spray bleach onto a paper towel, wrap it around the moldy area with black spots, and leave it for a few hours; the black spots will disappear.
