Talking about H2O2 - I have been looking into this and have some cautionary 
advice regading its use as a mouth rinse. It would be advisable to get what 
is called "food grade" hydrogen peroxide which is the purest form made and 
is used as an antiseptic in kitchen areas. The common form found in 
pharmacies has added and very toxic stabilizers.

I have located food grade H2O2 at a hydroponic store. With food grade the 
percent of H2O2 is about 10x that of the common grade (~3%) so it is 
necessary to water it down with distilled water appropriately. Just before 
use, again mix it with 10:1 ratio of tap water.
Do not swallow.

Thanks Ken, for the note.

Marilyn

If you just air dry your toothbrush, it will kill all the germs - they 
require
moisture to live.

Disinfecting is only necessary for things that are moist.
