Toothbrushes on stainless steel for cleaning that bezel

Many have suggested just gently using one's finger.

So I have to ask: what about strictly stainless steel pieces, and what about when we have to clean under the rotating bezel? I can see some good dust/dirt build up, even if it's subtle. I don't think I could get my finger there, obviously.

Would using a soft toothbrush harm the stainless steel finish by scratching it or leaving unwanted marks? If so, would a baby's soft toothbrush scratch it too?

Thanks in advance!

Well many have gold teeth and they seem to cope with eating, chewing, teeth brushing etc so I would doubt if a toothbrush designed for babies would harm one of the toughest materials made today gold or SS.
