in It's gone, but was it any good?
Hi,

Lloyds pharmacies in store has got a UV toothbrush cleaner. Its price is £29.99/each but buy two for £20.00. I guess it might be mis-priced but its real deal. It showed on the boxes that there are average of 100 million bugs on our toothbrushes. :( and the cleaner will use UV to kill them. Great deal :j

    buy a packet of baby sterilizing tablets and when your cleaning the bathroom , sock the toothbrushes for half a hour. these tablets are only around a £1. i think op is a massive waste of money. your only ment to use a toothbrush head for 3 mths anyway.

    not being nasty op , just dont think its worth it.

    It's been proven that 50,000 people die in the UK alone from 'toxic toothbrush poisoning' each year.

    That's 1,000 people each week...and some of them are little tiny babies [with no teeth] who have just looked at a toothbrush.

    This doesn't include the 40,000 who die from 'not using a special wipe thing to wipe down every sinlge surface in the home every 15 minutes'.

    They are selling one of those toothbrush cleaner for 29.99 each but at the same time, they are promoting 20 pounds for 2 in another section (in shop)

    golly im going to gurgle with domestos now just in case, and then put the brush in amonia that should do it, whilst im at it ill do the chopping board to as it has more germs on it than the loo seat, and goodness knows how many people die from that.;)

    Maybe that's because there's 100 million bugs in our mouths?(insert shruggy smiley here)
