Why Brushtox? Dental professionals do not recommend re-using the same piece of dental floss for up to three months or more, but it is common practice to re-use a toothbrush even though rinsing it in water is the traditional method of cleaning it. Within two days of use, a new toothbrush becomes infected with potentially disease producing bacteria and fungi, some of which remain alive and multiply on a toothbrush for hours and even days. To combat this problem, Brushtox Antiseptic Toothbrush Cleanser has been developed by leading U.K. Dental Surgeons to combat toothbrush contamination and disinfect toothbrushes safely, quickly and effectively. The Brushtox’s method of sanitising toothbrushes is the easiest, cheapest and most reliable; other methods used are complicated and less effective.
