Don't through away that old toothbrush. Carefully heat the toothbrush handle with a lighter for about 10 seconds and bend into a curved L shape. Dip in cold water to cool it down. You can use it to easily clean corners of windows, bath room wall corners, etc.

What a great idea! I am always needing something in a corner. Thanks.
I have always used old tooth brushes for cleaning but never thought to bend the handles. Thanks for the tip.
Great idea, thanks.
Questions: Which way do you bend the heated toothbrush?
How old is old for a toothbrush to be used for cleaning?
What a great idea. I will try it to clean that small hole in the toilet.
to Parker - Since one is supposed to change your toothbrush every 3 months, I'd say 3 months is "old"! And I think you could bend the handle either way, depending on what you thought you might clean with it.
