Product Description

Toothbrush bristles can be a ground for bacteria and failure to protect your brush can leave you susceptible to millions of bacteria that can cause illness. Introducing the TAO Clean Germ Shield UV Sanitizer – a unique, universal cleaning station for both manual and electric toothbrushes. With its patented design, the Germ Shield encloses your toothbrush and gets to work, zapping the baddies on your toothbrush head. The powerful Ultraviolet-C rays kill 99.9% of germs while your toothbrush is not in use. Upgrade your daily oral routine no matter where you are.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
However, the instructions are slightly unclear on how to insert the toothbrush. The top of the toothbrush (which becomes the "bottom" when inverted), must be almost to the very bottom of the sanitizer. If you look from underneath the device, there is an opening for the water to drip out. The top of the toothbrush should be 1/4 to 1/2 inch above the very bottom of the device, which would align with the counter or other surface below the device.
Everything you see near the top opening of the device (the curved spring-loaded piece, the "cubish" stepped flexible clear plastic structures) are all for holding the handle of the toothbrush. These parts and structures are cleverly designed to hold a wide variety of toothbrush styles.
If you don't insert the toothbrush deep enough, these parts will impinge on the bristles, and compress them.
The UV LED is located at the inside front of the bottom of the device, so that's where the bristles need to be. There is also a blue LED that illuminates the top area and the clear flexible plastic parts - don't be misled to thinking this is where the UV emitter is located. It isn't - that blue light is just for show and illumination.
Ensure that you place the top of the toothbrush (the head, the bristles) nearly to the bottom by just touching the surface (counter top) underneath and then backing it back up about a quarter inch to a half inch, then close the door. This will prevent compression of the bristles and align the head for a good sanitization.
I've found that now that I understand what is needed, I can place the toothbrush with one hand, quickly, including snapping the door closed.
