An uncleaned loofah can get your skin into a lot of trouble. So can an unsanitized toothbrush or a dirty hairbrush. So it is very important to keep them clean.
The most common way to sanitize something is to leave it in hot water for a while. But that depends on the material of the item you’re trying to sanitize.
You can sanitize your loofah by pouring some rubbing alcohol on it, and then submerging it into hot water and leave it in there for a few minutes. Take it out, and throw away the water. Pour fresh hot water into the recipient and add some baking soda. The baking soda is also great for deodorizing, if there is any need for that, too. Submerge the loofah again and leave it to soak, again, for a few minutes. Take it our, generously rinse it and squeeze out the water. Leave it to dry.
To clean your hairbrush, you have to do the same thing. Meaning that you have to submerge it in hot water. Leave it to soak for a few minutes. Get it out and get a wooden skewers stick or anything you can get all the way to the base of the hairbrush to get all the tangled hair out. You can avoid getting tangled hair into your hairbrush by pushing a wet napkin all the way to the base and then brush your hair. That way, you clean the dust collected throughout the day in your hair and you also prevent fizzy hair.
To sanitize your toothbrush, the answer is hot water. After letting it soak in there, submerge the head of the toothbrush into mouthwash and let it stay that way for a while. Get it out and don’t rinse it. Just let it dry and use it the next time you need to.
Make sure you clean and sanitize your loofah, hairbrush and toothbrush at least once a week.
