Even a small toothbrush holder can collect drips and toothpaste residue at its base. This guide uses the 11 cm high beige IKEA EKOLN stoneware holder 104.930.11. Manufacturer cleaning instructions are distinguished from American Dental Association toothbrush-storage advice. The cover photograph shows a generic ceramic cup, not an EKOLN product.

1. Check the model and material before cleaning. This guide is for the stoneware IKEA EKOLN 104.930.11; do not assume metal, wooden or powered charging holders share its care instructions.
2. Remove toothbrushes and toothpaste and set them aside on a clean surface. The ADA advises rinsing brushes thoroughly after use and not sharing them.
3. Empty standing water and look for toothpaste marks at the bottom. Check the ceramic for cracks or chips; avoid sharp edges and consider replacing a damaged holder.
4. As IKEA specifies, wipe inside and outside with a soft cloth dampened with a mild cleaner. Avoid harsh acids, abrasive scrubbers and mixing cleaning products.
5. Wipe the inner base and outer walls dry with a clean cloth and remove drips from the shelf. Check after use if water repeatedly collects in the same place.
6. Once the holder is dry, stand toothbrushes upright with room to air-dry. The ADA advises rinsing after use and avoiding storage of a wet brush in a sealed container.
