Abstract

A means consisting of a first and a second kneadable and shapeable compound to be used separately is proposed for cleaning interdental toothbrushes. The two compounds have the same basic composition, namely comprising hydroxypropylated polygalactomanan and 75% by weight to 97% by weight bound water and a liquid antiseptic solvent component, wherein the first kneadable and shapeable compound contains primarily active ingredients with a sterilizing effect, while the second kneadable and shapeable compound contains active ingredients for dental care having disinfectant and antiseptic properties. The first kneadable and shapeable compound serves to clean the interdental toothbrush and picks up the solid particles adhering to the toothbrush. It also serves to sterilize the interdental toothbrush while the second kneadable and shapeable compound contains mainly antiseptic means, such that the active ingredients are dispensed to the interdental toothbrush before its use and/or reuse. Furthermore, a device for use of the interdental toothbrush cleaning means is also proposed. This device consists of two separate containers, which are held together and in which the first and second kneadable and shapeable compounds are contained separately. Each container preferably has multiple compartments, and each container has its own closing cap, in the bottom part of which insertion openings (10) are provided, each communicating with one compartment (9). Two containers (2, 2′) are held together with their two bottoms facing one another by means of a clip-shaped holding device (4).
