The present invention relates to a faucet brush adaptor, faucet brush system, and faucet brush kit and assembly with related method of use. A brush end member includes a threaded interface that adaptively threads into a receiving threaded interface on a faucet head. The brush end member includes an inner region proximate the faucet dispensing regions allowing a ready pass-through of all faucet water flow without interference. The brush end member has an outer bristle region around said inner region allowing a user to use both the faucet and the brush simultaneously in a secure manner. The brush end member may be replaced and easily updated. Alternative brush end members include different types and locations of bristles while maintaining no interference with the faucet operation.

An interdental cleaner has a rod-shaped support, which is made of plastic and, in one end region thereof, is provided with a cleaning part made of a flexible plastic, and a handle part made of plastic. The support, at a support end facing the handle part, is integrally connected to the handle part in a connection region via a web. The connection region is configured as a joint, and the web is provided at least partially with a sheath made of a flexible plastic. Provision is made here that the web has at least one protruding web rib, and/or that at least one rib is formed on the outer face of the sheath.

An oral care implement with a soft tissue cleaner. The oral care implement may include a handle and a head, the head having a first surface, and an opposite second surface, and a peripheral surface extending between the first and second surfaces. A soft tissue cleaner may have a first cleaner fixed to the second surface of the head and a second cleaner fixed to the peripheral surface of the head. Furthermore, a second cleaner may incorporate a plurality of grooves extending at least a portion of the distance from the first surface to the second surface along the peripheral surface.

A head for an oral care implement comprises a number of colored filaments extending from a mounting surface of the head and being grouped together to define an initial color pattern. The colored filaments comprise at least a first and a second type of filament, wherein the types of filaments differ in color changing characteristics over a pre-defined period of time, the pre-defined period of time being the same for the first and the second type of filament so that the initial color pattern changes color characteristics over at least a first pre-defined period of time to a first color pattern, the first color pattern being different form the initial color pattern.

An electric toothbrush, in combination with a universal base for receiving and wirelessly charging the toothbrush, the base to be coupled with the electric toothbrush for wireless communication therebetween. The base comprises a magnetic element for forming a magnetic connection with the electric toothbrush when the latter is received by the base for charging. The base includes a charging component for inductively charging the electric toothbrush, a Bluetooth component for communicating usage data received from the toothbrush during a brushing session, an analyzing component for instantaneous processing of the usage data received from the toothbrush, a timer-clock component for displaying either a count-up or a countdown of the brushing session during the brushing session and time of day before and after the brushing session, and a multi-functional light component for instantaneously communicating, during the brushing session, at least one element of the usage data.

A portable cleaning device with interchangeable cleaning tools and an alert system may include an elongate rod having a first end and a second end, a handle attached to the first end of the rod, a cleaning attachment removably engaged with the second end of the rod, a handle grip sensor operatively attached to the handle and a cleaning attachment pressure sensor operatively attached to the cleaning attachment, and an indicator operatively attached to each sensor, the indicator designed to alert a user when the sensor is activated.

One or more methods for sampling gingival metabolites and biomarkers.

An oral care implement having a head with a soft tissue cleanser thereon. In one aspect, the invention can be an oral care implement including a handle and a head coupled to the handle, the head comprising a front surface; a rear surface opposite the front surface; a peripheral surface extending between the rear surface and the front surface; a first elastomeric soft tissue cleanser comprising a bumper portion that extends along the peripheral surface, the bumper portion comprising an undulating upper edge that includes a plurality of high points protruding above the rear surface and a plurality of low points located at or below the rear surface; and a plurality of tooth cleaning elements extending from the front surface.

A cleaning system and method can include a leading carriage assembly attached to a brush assembly and can be configured to drive the brush assembly. A trailing carriage assembly can be configured to move along a track. The trailing carriage assembly can be attached to an arm. A vertical support rod can be partially disposed within the arm and can be attached to the brush assembly. A height of the vertical support rod can be positioned by one or more clamps located around the vertical support rod.
