Comment on Toothbrushes don't list what they are made of.

This one:
pro-sys.com/…/antibacterial-adult-toothbrush/
Says it uses “StaClean™” So what does that mean?
Well…

“Something, something, duPont”? My best guess is that it’s a plastic that is non-porous so microbes can’t live in it.
This one says it’s infused with “Nano Silver”.

Silver does have anti-microbial properties. “Nano Silver”? Who knows.
Really you’d have to read the fine print on each brush and do the research to be vaguely certain. :)

see thats the thing. I look all over the packaging and it does not say what it is doing it. Just this bullet point of antimicrobial.

In that case it’s just impermeable to microbes.
