Abstract
A holder includes a plate-like body having a recess formed therein, the recess being configured to leave a holding portion for the body of the toothpick-like interdental cleaner. The holder portion includes a fitting groove, adapted to removably secure the body of the interdental cleaner along a longitudinal direction thereof when received therein. When so received, the toothpick-like interdental cleaner is restrained at the intermediate portion of its body, and its extreme ends, positioned within the recess, do not come in contact with any interior surfaces, thereby being kept clean. A case is further provided for receiving the holder.
