Abstract

The toothbrush cleaner includes a cleaning head and a handle designed to sanitize a toothbrush through mechanical scrubbing. The cleaning head features a base portion and two lateral portions that together define a central channel for brush insertion. This channel contains a plurality of bristles of varying lengths and orientations, including base bristles and lateral bristles. The lateral bristles are specifically angled upward and downward to effectively scrub toothbrush bristles from multiple angles. Drainage apertures are integrated into the lateral portions to facilitate water flow and debris removal. A rotating mechanism connects the cleaning head to the handle, allowing for adjustable positioning and a detachable interface for easy head replacement. This assembly ensures hygienic maintenance of oral care tools between uses.
