An advertiser of toothbrush covers once complained about the way people store their toothbrushes after each use. He noted that while people would store their soaps in dry soap cases so that they don’t get soggy, the same thing couldn’t be said about the treatment we give our toothbrushes.
His major grouse is that after each use, we simply toss our toothbrushes into a container usually hung in the bathrooms or near the bathroom entrance. The ostensible reason for this is that we want to make them accessible once we are prepared to take our bath, which is almost always accompanied with tooth brushing.
