Time to replace your toothbrush? Time to repurpose your old one! π
First, disinfect them with baking soda, vinegar and hot water. Then remove the bristles and label them to know their new use! If you need to cut them, make sure to sand them. You can use hot glue or knotting them with a cotton/hemp cord. Whatever suits you best. Here are just some ideas:
π FOR PETS:
– To clean their paws
– To brush them (a guinea pig for example)
π FOR THE HOUSEHOLD (DIY):
– coasters
– dish soap
– jewellery hanger
– drawer handle
– trivet
– garden markers (seedling labels)
π FOR CLEANING:
– your computer keyboard
– grout
– cheese grater
– your rings
– difficult edges (like the sink or tap handle)
π FOR BEAUTY:
– brushing your eyebrows
– declumping your eyelashes
– smoothing flyaways and frizzy hair
– cleaning nails
– exfoliating lips
π OTHER USES:
– as large needle (to thread runaway laces back through waistbands for example)
– paint strokes
– stirring paint
– spray painting
– scrubbing stains and spots
– polishing
– scrubbing fruits and vegs
– hair dying
– cleaning shoe soles
– make bracelets (this required a plastic one dipped in boiling water, be careful)
