        Yeah... I use a pint or quart container that they give me
when I order chinese food for delivery (soup or watery dish). Comes
with a convenient lid. I'm a big fan of pine-sol myself, though the
industrial strength one didn't seem to make much difference except to
my hands. It's not great for your hands, so wash them during and
afterwards and put moisturizing lotion on afterwards.

        I hear that scrubbing with a paper towel briefly helps to keep
the toothbrush from gettign completely gunked up too quickly.
