The problem is the dust and debris is too small for the human eye to catch. The best solution, I would say, is to get a toothbrush holder.

Quite a bit in fact. Until the day that I dropped the damn thing into the toilet bowl.... So now I need to get another one because my old back up brush just isn't cutting it any more.

That's what I bought and I was impressed with the circular motion in addition to the up and down that the brush provides. I was misled. You've convinced me--my next purchase will be Colgate!

This is a huge opportunity for many if not most companies! The key is encouraging and facilitating two-way communication. Great example with Weber grills (I know my husband would love one!).

They have traditionally been geared toward making the sale, then troubleshooting. Handling a community of happy customers hasn't been a consideration for most. I've contacted companies I've been happy with and found a couple of them baffled at what to do next. Another memorable example was Weber Grills (I LOVE mine). A few years ago, they made an effort to build a community by inviting customers to post photos and grilling techniques. But there was no follow-through, and no way for customers to contact each other. When Weber tried to solicit more involvement a year later, it was too late; they had lost the opportunity.
