Think a toothbrush is just for your pearly whites? Think again! At Texas Cleaning Services, we love finding creative and effective ways to get your home spotless—and one of our favorite tools is hiding in your bathroom cabinet. An old (clean!) toothbrush is the ultimate detail-cleaning secret weapon.
Here are 10 surprising things you can clean with a toothbrush that’ll make you want to keep a few extras in your cleaning caddy!
1. Grout Lines Between Tiles
Grout can trap dirt and mold, making your floors and walls look grimy. A toothbrush’s small bristles get into the narrow lines and scrub away buildup like a charm. Add baking soda and vinegar for extra punch!
2. Window Tracks
Dust, bugs, and dirt love to hide in window tracks. Spray with cleaner and use a toothbrush to loosen and lift debris. Finish with a paper towel for a clean finish.
3. Computer Keyboards
Keyboards attract crumbs, pet hair, and dust. A toothbrush can get in between the keys better than most cloths or compressed air. Use gentle strokes to avoid damage.
4. Faucet Bases and Handles
That gunky buildup around your sink’s base? A toothbrush scrubs those awkward corners effortlessly. Add a dab of dish soap and warm water to make it sparkle.
5. Shoe Soles
Got mud or grime stuck in your sneakers? A toothbrush works wonders to scrub it out without damaging the shoe. It’s especially helpful for athletic or hiking shoes.
6. Toaster Crumbs
Cleaning your toaster isn’t just about shaking out crumbs. A toothbrush can help dislodge crumbs and debris from hard-to-reach nooks inside.
7. Jewelry and Watches
Dirt and oils hide in small crevices of rings, bracelets, and watches. A soft toothbrush is perfect for gently lifting grime without scratching delicate surfaces.
8. Bathroom Fixtures
Light switches, shower heads, and toilet hinges are often neglected. A toothbrush lets you scrub those tiny spots that regular cleaning tools miss.
9. Remote Controls
Remote buttons get sticky fast! Lightly brush between the buttons with a dry toothbrush to remove dirt and crumbs without damaging electronics.
10. Car Vents and Dashboard
Your car deserves love too! Use a toothbrush to dust air vents, knobs, and seams in your car interior. It’s the detailer’s trick for a showroom-worthy finish.
Final Tip: Keep It Separate
Use different toothbrushes for different jobs, and don’t forget to label them. You don’t want to mix up your jewelry-cleaning brush with your grout scrubber!
At Texas Cleaning Services, we use the right tools—big or small—for every job. Whether it's your kitchen, office, or bathroom, no corner is too tight and no mess too stubborn for our team.
