Running foul water under the tap and over the basin sinks plenty of litres when brushing your teeth. Cutting down on water waste is as easy as roughing the hewn of hair on the back of a pig squealing for more mud.
A dry application of the paste onto the bristles of the toothbrush is the first step. Given that the lather and foam builds up in either event of being wet or dry, this eliminates the unnecessary snap under the stream.
For those with hardy gums using effete and limp sensitive formula or even of the baking soda variety, the elimination of water adds grippage against the spillage and makes shirt fronts less prone to stains of slobbered white.
Spitting out the paste is as easy as nailing a passing pedestrian from on high out the side of a tall building with open windows. Licking and sucking off any remnant paste lather from the toothbrush is vital as the next step is close to finishing and yet a drop of water is to be made. Practice makes the task easier and only enhances the party favours.
As propaganda and dental hygienists recommend, a swish of mouthwash does good in wrapping up the proceedings. Any left over toothpaste still in the mouth is mixed in with this last swash of backwash and taken out in the splash. Double burning mint sensation for all.
And that, is brushing your teeth using minimal to no amounts of water.
