Yes: Allow the tooth brush to dry out after you have washed it with soap and warm water to prevent mold or fungal growth on your tooth brush. Uv sterilizer also could be used.

Put your tooth brush: Tips from electrics in the dish washer if you want, wash them with soap and water if you wish. They are fine to do that. Change them once every 6 months or when they flatten out.

Carefully: Make sure it's unplugged. Wipe down with a cloth moistened with plain water. DO NOT immerse. Let dry thoroughly. Once fully dry only LPG into a GFI outlet.
