How to Buy the Best Toothbrush Sanitizer at the Best Price
One of the best, yet overlooked ways to keep your family healthy and prevent colds and other illnesses from spreading is by using a toothbrush sanitizer. The average toothbrush, kept on the bathroom sink, contains about 1 million germs. Using a toothbrush sanitizer will kill germs such as HIV, Herpes, Hepatitis, The Cold Virus, The Flu Virus, Salmonella, Listeria, E. Coli, Candida, Gingivitis, Staphylococcus, and Meningitis. It makes no sense to re-infect your mouth with these germs every time you brush your teeth. Having a toothbrush sanitizer is a great way to protect your family, especially if somebody in your household is already sick.

Great family UV sanitizer!
Toothbrush sanitizers come in two different types, the first uses UV light to kill the germs and range in price from 20 to about 50 dollars. The second uses steam and dry heat to kill the germs, these range in price form about 30 to 100 dollars. They both are just about equally effective at sanitizing a toothbrush. The main difference is UV models will not dry the toothbrush they are very fast though. Steam/heat models will sanitize and then dry the toothbrush. In addition, most UV models can be wall mounted, especially if they are battery operated.

Top rated travel size sanitizer
After you decide what type of toothbrush sanitizer is best for you, you need to decide on the capacity. Small UV travel size toothbrush sanitizers hold one toothbrush, while larger, steam operated ones can hold up to 4 toothbrushes. UV models for family use should have the capacity to hold all the toothbrushes in your family since they will still be wet, and it really doesn't make sense to move the wet toothbrush out just to get 're-infected' with germs.

A great steam sanitizer
Choose by capacity first, and then, by type. The best toothbrush sanitizers will dry your toothbrush AND allow you to store them in it. Wall mounted is great as it gets the sanitizer out of the way, even better if it's waterproof. I've linked the top rated toothbrush sanitizers in the resource section below.
