i rinse mine in 1/2scope and 1/2 water and put them in the door of the fridge. they are ready for action when i take them out.

you can also rinse them in water and place them in the freezer. the water between the reeds freezes . once they are in your mouth or out of the freezer they will thaw

Got to stay dedicated to tooth picking them as soon as you put them up.

After every use I soak mine in listorine for 20 minutes or so and then rinse them. Then off to the fridge they go and ready for action the next time! :smiley-char092:

I got some really small stainless steal rods and made "U" shapes out of it and slide them in place whenever I am done with them. Once I get back home I rinse them off.

I take a new comb and cut the teeth off of it to stick under the top reed only.
