Fingernail hygiene method and system

Abstract

A personal hygiene device, comprises: a body; a motor within the body; a fluid supply within the body; a moving brush head extending from the body and driven by the motor at a sonic frequency; and a fluid dispenser within the body that directs a fluid from the fluid supply onto the brush head. The device may further include a brush replacement indicator. The indicator may be triggered by a number of cleaning operations performed, by a sensor or by depletion of the fluid supply, for example. The device may further comprise a battery operatively connected to power the motor. In that case, the device may further comprise a battery recharging circuit. The brush head may further comprise at least one rotating section. Alternatively, the brush head may further comprise at least one reciprocating section. The device may yet further comprise a switch actuated by a user contacting the brush head that operatively connects power to the motor.
