To clean and maintain toothbrush holders to prevent mold or bacteria buildup, it is recommended to regularly wash the holder with warm soapy water and allow it to dry completely before using it again. You can also use a mixture of water and vinegar to disinfect the holder periodically. Additionally, ensure the toothbrush holder is placed in a well-ventilated area to prevent moisture accumulation, which can contribute to mold growth. Regularly inspect the holder for any signs of mold or bacteria and replace it if needed.
