This is great! I keep a guard over my toothbrush head, but the need to sanitize is something that makes a lot of sense!

I never even thought of this and it’s brilliant! This is also information that I haven’t seen anywhere else. The video really helps because I’m the person that will get something and not know how to use it and of course the manufacturers directions aren’t usually the best. It’s a great price too!

I’m glad the video helped!! And I’m the same way with directions!
