Any parents out there will know that getting children to brush their teeth can sometimes be challenging.

A toothbrush is such a common household staple that we completely take it for granted. Along with many bathroom accessories such as the hairbrush, the face sponge and the razor, these items exist to help make our lives and routines easier and better.
