Attach two toothbrushes together with an elastic band to create an ideal tool for rubbing small spaces around the taps. The hairs make it possible to reach the cracks effortlessly.

The grooves of refrigerator seals or window frames often accumulate dust and residue. A curved or slightly modified toothbrush will help you clean these areas effectively.
