The used toothbrush - torture tool or nifty cleaner?

Have you watched that old movie where the rookie is forced to use a toothbrush to clean the toilet as punishment by his sergeant?

An extremely tedious job designed to torture you might think. But a toothbrush is really good for cleaning those hard to reach places like taps and the areas around them, as well as crevices between bathroom tiles stained with grime and mould. My favourite is to use it to unblock the holes in the soap dish that has been blocked by dissolved soap.

How about using your used toothbrushes to clean your crocs – you know how dirty the insides get because we don't wear socks with them. Just soak in soapy water, lather and brush. Rinse dry and your crocs would be as good as new!

But of course, scrubbing with toothbrushes is only recommend for small areas; otherwise the nifty cleaner would turn out to be a real torture tool.
