UV cleaner zaps toothbrush germs

(Credit: Herrington)

Now that you have the proper equipment to purify your air and water, we thought it appropriate to address the germaphobe's holiest of hygiene utensils: the toothbrush.

Using technology similar to that of the "SteriPEN" water purifier, Herrington's "Violight" toothbrush sanitizer uses UV rays to zap bacteria in the name of oral hygiene, according to Coolest-Gadgets. The device holds multiple brushes (up to four), which true 'phobes might find somewhat gross.

The Unfortunate Truth About Your Toothbrush

I recently published an article on the subject of toothbrushes. Because it's based on common sense it sky-rocketed to number one at http://www.helium.com. Toothbrushes can become potential germ-bombs in as little as 3 days and it would be terribly irresponsible of me to not share my discoveries with the world. Your product would work, but there's a much simpler method (that all dentists use), Trust me. Read my article and you?ll become a believer.
