Do you mean bacteria? What about viruses?
What about them? Viruses need to invade living cells to reproduce and most can only survive hours outside a host (with the exception of Norovirus and C. Difficile).

OK you bought a fancy name which cost £3+ a head rather than £1 for a head on a stick.
I was thinking change once a month or more if only used once a week.
Another option is chuck it in the washing machine(rinsed first optional).0
