In an earlier study, the American Society of Microbiology discovered that keeping the toothbrush always with a sheath is in fact unsanitary.
Astonishing? Then how can you keep it as hygienic if the lid is not a solution?
According to Laura Aber, researcher and organizer of the study, "Using a toothbrush cap does not protect it from being affected by bacteria, but actually creates a more convenient environment where bacteria grow, because inside the lid is a damp area .
As soon as I use the brush and put it on the cap, it does not allow it to dry, so there is always moisture inside the lid. "
Okay, it's another fact that can be discussed. Every bath is always damp, then the bath, steam ... is the place of humidity. These reasons may perhaps lead you to think that the lid is a good brush protector, but that is not the case.
If you travel, the best advice is to use a small hole cap so that at least you can brush your tooth to dry, but at the same time keeps it out of the impurities along the way.
Yes at home? It must be covered, but the best way to save it is a shelf with enough space. This gives the toothbrush to dry out, but at the same time be protected from bacteria outside.
