A brush, a brush for applying paint, a massager, a bracelet, a doll - this is just a small part of what can and should be made from old toothbrushes. The rubber part of the products is very comfortable. It can be used as the handle of a tool (for example, a crochet hook). The bristles, even if old, scrub away dirt well. Compactness and flexibility allow you to penetrate hard-to-reach places. And if you use your imagination, old toothbrushes can turn into a prince and princess or a bright bracelet decoration.
Old toothbrush in everyday life
Even after the expiration of its service life, the brush does not lose its advantages. It cleans perfectly and penetrates into the most remote corners. With its help, with one movement of the hand you can deal with the most complex stains, such as tea stains, stubborn grease, rust, fumes, and scale.
Try using an old brush to clean the following items and surfaces:
- mugs with plaque;
- joints of plastic windows;
- seams between tiles;
- sink drain hole;
- contaminated washing machine parts;
- silver and gold jewelry;
- coffee machines;
- keyboards;
- hairdryer;
- toilet rim;
- shoes
Experienced housewives put old toothbrushes in a separate container and place it next to other appliances and cleaning products. This way the tool will be at hand at the right time and will be used to its advantage.
Fashionable accessories
Modern technologies never stand still, and they also affected the windshield cleaning process. To facilitate this, special magnetic devices have been developed. They allow you to simultaneously clean glass from both sides at once, without making any extra effort. Tatla magnetic brushes are gaining popularity in Russia.
The operating principle of these devices is based on the operation of two magnets. The magnetic field attracts plastic halves equipped with cleaning sponges and rubber cleaners to the glass on both sides. All window cleaning magnets differ in their declared power. The thicker the glass, the thicker the magnet should be.
The most popular magnetic brushes today are:
Of all those listed, only Tatla is produced in Russia, all the others are supplied from China.
Despite the rather high cost, a magnetic window cleaning brush from a Russian manufacturer has a lot of positive reviews. This is a high-quality product, which is manufactured with thick double-glazed windows necessary for protection from the harsh Russian climate. For comparison, the Glass Wiper window cleaning brush barely sticks to thick double-glazed windows.
Child development and creativity
Playing with improvised objects is not only fun, but also useful for children. This is how they learn to show imagination and ingenuity.
How to use old toothbrushes to develop creativity?
- Brush dolls. Children need to be taught personal hygiene from early childhood. Cute dolls made from old toothbrushes will help you talk about the rules in a playful way. To make crafts, you will need multi-colored scraps of fabric, beads for eyes, a needle and thread and glue. Next you need to sew costumes for the brushes. The child can also participate and glue the doll’s eyes or decorations to her clothes. Examples of toys:
- Drawing pictures. Drawing with an old toothbrush is very easy, and the result is always interesting. To create a picture you will need figured templates made of cardboard, a sheet of white paper, and watercolor paints. The drawing technique is simple: you need to place patterns (butterflies, stars, hearts) on paper, pick up paint with a brush and run your finger along the bristles over the design. Small colorful splashes will fly onto the paper, but the place where the template lay will remain snow-white. Example:
- Bracelets for girls. Toothbrushes made of transparent plastic are best for creating jewelry. You need to immerse the brush in boiling water and, using pliers, pull the bristles out of the softened plastic. Next, you should again lower the base into boiling water, and after about 1 minute it can be bent into a bracelet. Be careful not to get burned!
