My Toothbrush Holder

Do you know how to go about installing a wall mounted toothbrush holder? If not, listen up to this post. It doesn’t take a general contractor to get this type of job done; just about anyone with a couple good tools and the instruction booklet should be able to put up a wall mounted toothbrush holder in no time flat. Just take things slowly and don’t get rushed; rushing is the quickest way to make a mistake and cause a little bit of potential damage to the wall you’re mounting it on. You don’t want to do that, do you? Of course not!

Okay, so like just about everything else I’ve ever written online, the first thing I’m going to say is “read the instruction manual.” Whichever wall mounted unit you get, you should receive a step-by-step plan that will help you install it with the minimum amount of fuss. These are generally written with the standard amateur workman in mind, so don’t worry about that. They put everything in layman’s terms (heck, that’s what I need!), so just about anyone in the general public can put one of these up. Plus, it’s kind of fun to get your hands dirty every once in a while, right? Right.

Alright, the first thing you need to do after reading that instruction manual is figure out the material that you’re going to be attaching the toothbrush holder to. I recommend straight drywall when you’re first starting out. Drywall is easily drilled into, and it’s strong enough to mount just about any type of toothbrush holder you can buy at the store. It’s also easy to repair, just in case you get out of hand a little bit and mess something up. A little putty will fix whatever slip up that you might have had.

I don’t recommend installing a toothbrush holder on anything like tile, at least not when you’re starting out. Drilling through tile could potentially cause cracks and other malformations, which could really ruin your day. Unlike drywall, tile is a bit more difficult to fix unless you know how to do it. In fact, more often than not you’ll probably have to replace the individual tiles themselves. That’s not a whole lot of fun if you’ve ever done it. In fact, you might have to hire a professional if you end up doing that.
