toothbrushesMy parents told me I mustn't rinse my toothbrush under the hot tap as it will make the bristles go all curly. Im nearly 50 and I still dint know if this is true or a way of saving hot water.

Congratulations, you've managed to reach late middle age with no understanding of rising mains and drinkable water.(

You mind explaining?Because this is the same reason I was always given for why I shouldn't drink from the cold water tap in the bathroom.

Only. If the bathroom tap is fed from a header tank and not directly from the main. Header tank can equal stale water, dead bugs/birds etc. Would be likely an older house really.

I was told the same thingBut the reason was "warm water can erode enamel". I think that is more likely.

At a guess would soften the bristles So probably wear out faster, be less effective on teeth etc.

What you want is stainless steel bristles.(, Wed 23 Aug 2017, 21:55, closed)
I once tried to sterilize a toothbrush in a mug of water in a microwaveAll the bristles fell out.
Though I doubt your hot water tap got that hot.
