I want to sterelize my toothbrush

I want to sterelize my toothbrush.

There are these UV toothbrush sterilizers, but the obvious tradeoff is that there needs to be some sort of power. Beyond that, it makes me wonder if they're even effective. There are also these steripod clip-ons, but they need need to be changed every once and a while. I can also use good ol' reliable sterilization solution, but, in order to be economic, I probably wouldn't be using it every day; and it wouldn't address the issue of storage in damp, dark places in between cleaning sessions.

Just the whole stupid Apple G4 era design of these unnecessarily complex devices gives me bad vibes akin to those ultrasonic humidifiers that build up bacteria without excessive maintinence. Complexity begets entropy and all that. It makes me feel like toothbrush sanitization sans cleaning fluid is a marketing hoax.

All you need is boiling water and steam. You're not going to find many bacteria that is capable of surviving 100 degree water.

That works, but doesn't that wear down the bristles? Furthermore, it takes time to get water to boiling point.

The gamma sterilization process uses Cobalt 60 radiation to kill microorganisms on a variety of different products. Processing with gamma irradiation yields quick turnaround time, easily penetrating packaging and product, and is ideal for many types of materials.

Good. Now try locating this strain on your toothbrush.


Yes the potential life of the brush will be consumed as you sterilize it with boiling water. I'm not sure why that's a problem given that toothbrushes are very cheap commodity.

Brush your teeth with bleach, OP.

Good job not reading your own source nigger. You're as bad as Krugman.

Biologically insignificant.

UV works, but degrades plastics.
UV won't work anywhere in the shade.

You could get the same effect for free by leaving your toothbrush outside for a day.
