PT,
Adding 3%H202 to CS will theoretically make the silver particles smaller,
or perhaps change them to ionic form. It will not create a new chemical. Of
course you should keep your toothbrush clean, but it's best to simply rinse
with CS or H202 after brushing.

Hi,
This is a question for Steve and some of the other chemists on the list...
I have read about and been advised to keep my toothbrushes in an
antimicrobial between use. The general advise is something like Listerine but
I don't really like that so I have used peroxide for a long time. I recently
switched to CS. Evidently toothbrushes are *seething* (mild hyperbole) with
microbes that just keep reinfecting the mouth and the mouth is one place for
focal infections that keep the immune system challenged.
My question is, "If I mix CS and 3% H2O2 will that increase the germ
fighting capability of the liquid or create a whole new chemical that will do
something totally different and perhaps not desirable?"
Thanks for any guidance you can give.
PT
PS: another good way to sanitize the toothbrush is to put it in the
dishwasher every few days when you run it up.
