How do you clean Mould off an electric toothbrush?
Vinegar effectively kills the mould without being toxic to humans. To prevent mould from growing, dry off the brush after each use. If the toothbrush has a rubber grip, too much mould can break it apart or break it down. Mold spreads if left unattended.

What is the black stuff on my toothbrush?
Mold on your toothbrush can be both visible and invisible to the human eye. With many bristles and grooves, mold can hind in your toothbrush at microscopic levels.

Can I remove black mold myself?

Is vinegar or bleach better for killing mold?
