Once you are done with your current toothbrush, you might think its usefulness is past. But think again! A toothbrush is the perfect little tool to keep around the house, because it’ll help you accomplish a lot. Let me show you 12 terrific ways to reuse old toothbrushes!

1. A toothbrush is the perfect size to remove crumbs from all the little nooks and crannies in your toaster. No more stinky, burning crumbs when you make toast!
2. A toothbrush is the handiest little tool to help remove a stain from your shirt–even right after it happens. Just use a drop of dish soap and a little water to spot clean and prevent the stain from setting.
