How to Clean Your Sonicare Toothbrush

A Sonicare toothbrush is a high-end electronic oral hygiene device that, according to the manufacturer, cleans much better than the average manual toothbrush.

The manufacturer has specific guidelines on how to care for your Sonicare toothbrush, including the recharging base and the removable brush heads. This only adds a few extra seconds to your daily routine, but will keep your brush like new for a long time. Does this Spark an idea?
