The attractive, stylish Otres Toothbrush
Sanitizer is designed to hold and sanitize up to 4 toothbrushes
at a time. A low-voltage, UL-listed AC/DC power adapter (transformer)
plugs into any household electrical outlet and minimizes the risk
of electrical shock if the unit is accidentally dropped in water.
An LED flashes to notify you that a
cycle will be starting or has just finished. A constant on LED notifies
you when the unit is in a sanitizing cycle (and that it should not
be disturbed). A convenient, latching cover allows easy access to
the sanitizing chamber.
REASONS TO USE A TOOTHBRUSH
SANITIZER
Bacteria in the mouth which leads to tooth decay, bad breath, and
periodontal disease can be left behind on the toothbrush and be
reintroduced into the mouth with the next brushing. If a person
has a cold or flu, viruses can be passed onto the toothbrush reinfecting
the person and potentially making it harder to recover. The family
toothbrush holder can be a means of cross-contamination-passing
bacteria from one toothbrush to another.
Bacteria multiply rapidly and a toothbrush
provides the kind of moist environment that actually encourages
bacterial growth! Even when dry, the toothbrush can be teeming with
an array of bacteria, germs, and viruses.
The Journal of the American Dental
Association has stated that the toothbrush is a fertile breeding
ground for bacteria. And, just as we brush our teeth to kill bacteria
in the mouth, we can actually be reintroducing the very microorganisms
we are trying to get rid of (like streptococci and staphylococci).
Also, according to recent studies, germs in the mouth may contribute
to other health problems, including heart disease.
For greatest effectiveness in oral
care, it is important to have a Total Oral Care process. And, keeping
your toothbrushes free of bacteria with the Otres Toothbrush Sanitizer
is an important part of that process.

How It Works
OTRES Kitchen Sponge & Toothbrush
Sanitizer uses activated oxygen-a natural bacteria killer. Activated
oxygen (O3) is created with a simple process where normal, everyday
oxygen (O2) is passed through an electrical field. Once the oxygen
has passed through the electrical field, it gains an extra atom
(making it O3 rather than O2). When this activated oxygen interacts
with bacteria or other germs, the extra atom breaks the bacterial
cell wall, destroying the bacteria. By doing this, the activated
oxygen (O3) reverts back to everyday oxygen (O2).Activated oxygen
is not a new creation. It has been around since the beginning of
time. It is a natural part of our atmosphere.
ctivated oxygen is created every time
lighting strikes-sending electrical charges through the air. It
is the part of our atmosphere we refer to as "the ozone layer."
The ozone layer is the part of our atmosphere which protects us
from harmful elements.Activated oxygen has also become the primary
means by which bottled water is purified. In fact, in 1991, the
Environmental Protection Agency designated activated oxygen (or
"ozone") as the most effective primary disinfectant available
for drinking water. In the United States alone, more than 200 municipal
water plants also use activated oxygen as the primary disinfectant.So,
just as activated oxygen (or ozone) protects us from harmful atmospheric
elements and purifies the water we drink, the OTRES Kitchen Sponge
& Toothbrush Sanitizer rids your sponge and toothbrush of 99.9%
of harmful bacteria which could be found on these items.
