I have old toothbrushes hidden under every sink in the house. These are one of my favorite cleaning tools! They are great for getting around the taps and faucets in the sinks, and any other grungy, hard to reach spot that needs some heavy duty cleaning. They're good on grout as well. I also use them on my diamond ring, which I never, ever take off, and therefore gets totally gross with bread dough and other mixtures when I'm cooking or baking. The soft bristles of a toothbrush get right in there and clean out all the gunk. I keep them hidden because I don't want anyone to think, 'hey, there's my old toothbrush', and then put it in their mouth, unaware of where that toothbrush has been since it was retired from active duty. Blech! So that's my tip, save your old toothbrushes for hard to get at cleaning jobs, and keep them hidden!
Keeping those old toothbrushes is one good practice! Your reasoning is also spot on! I mean, old toothbrushes shouldn't be used for cleaning teeth. They can infect and harm one's mouth, since their bristles have become stiff. Thanks for this!

I keep mine to clean my engagement ring with, especially the crud that collects underneath the diamond :)

Recommend always checking the price of 4-pack & 8-pack. Prices do fluctuate, and there have been occasions when it's been cheaper to purchase two 4-packs.
