(NewsUSA) - Germs are everywhere. And while most of us think of well-traveled, public places when it comes to viruses and bacteria, they often surround us in our own homes. In fact, the University of Arizona conducted a research study that ranked the bathroom sink as the third most germ-infested location in the average home-the very location where your family stores their toothbrushes.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have found alarming evidence that supports this research. In a January 2002 report, they said, "Even after being rinsed visibly clean, toothbrushes can remain contaminated with potentially pathogenic organisms."

So, how do you keep your family's daily hygiene routine on track and protect them from harmful germs that may call their toothbrush home?

You can start protecting your toothbrush with toothbrush sanitizers such as the DenTek Toothbrush Sanitizer.

This sanitizer's battery-powered ultraviolet light kills up to 99 percent of germs including streptococcus, E. coli and salmonella in less than 10 minutes.

"The DenTek Toothbrush Sanitizer was developed to kill germs and help protect you and your family from colds, flu and other illnesses," said David Fox, DenTek president. "The product utilizes superior UV technology and went through extensive testing to ensure the highest quality."

Designed to fit all manual and power toothbrushes, and small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, this device will keep your toothbrush covered and clean at home, on the road or anywhere you brush.

So, this year when you are loading up on hand sanitizer and disinfectants to arm yourself and your family against the cold and flu season, take things one step further. Use the cutting-edge technology of the DenTek Toothbrush Sanitizer to prevent the spread of germs within your household.
