Do you save old used toothbrushes to clean? I have used them for years and go thru way too many (faster than the family used/replaced them) the brushes fray out when used to scrub baseboards or hard to reach grooves...solution???? Buy a cheap battery operated rotating tooth brush...you don't have to scrub as hard and the brushes get into those hard to reach areas without breaking down so fast. And the best part...it cuts down the work time in half!!!
