I thought if you brushed reguarly you wouldn't get buildup? But really, you DO need to get it out. Several reasons; will restrict flow, could damage sensors, and WILL get caught in your valves. When will it get stuck in your tank valve? When you are off on a six day trip and you dump your tanks for the first time and then you can't shut the black tank valve and now your black water system is out of commission!

That's exactly where it hung up on its way down. Got it out of there with a hanger.

All that...and you still did not get to keep the tooth brush!!! A little boiling and it would have been good as new...ready for use...

In this case, I think you should make an exception, although I am sure Becky will be happy to send it to you for your personal use...

Becky,

Your persistence is to be admired. I have learned tricks from this thread I hope I never have to use. Good work!

I for one am glad this had a happy ending. You used a combination of high and low tech to acheive your desired result. It proves that you are tenacious if nothing else!
On the subject of using it again I suggest a new one... I use old tooth brushes to clean golf clubs, auto parts... and anything that needs a soft non-scratch type of approach.
The tooth brush is overlooked by many who use one daily, not to mention those who only use one .....every once in a while.

Let the three tooth minimum jokes begin.

Okay.
Know how we can tell a redneck invented the toothbrush?

If it was anybody else, it would be called a TEETHbrush...

Keep it and pass it around the campfire a few times before you tell your story.

A full set of teeth

For the amount of time and effort I wish you had taken some pictures and posted them. While I think I can imagine most of the postions you were in while extracting the toothbrush a photo or 2 would have been great. The light and the mirror down the toilet would have become a classic.

This was such an enjoyable thread, I felt it needed to be regurgitated

Thanks, Artstream for bring this up again! We must have been on a trip with no internet access, as I missed the whole thread. Funny!

Becky

You are a brave person sharing this experience on the Forum. I'll bet when you show at rallies people feel that they already know you. Oh sure, they may not shake hands, but they'll be friendly otherwise.

I need to ask - have you quit chewing your nails because of this? I suspect brown would be the ideal nail polish color now?

Can you imagine what your neighbors were thinking watching you? "Hey Mabel, there she is AGAIN with her arm stuffed up the toilet tank. That Becky needs a hobby real bad, and look, she's training her daughter. By the way, the next time she brings baking over maybe pass it on to your mother."

I'd of been tempted to mail the brush back to the PO and a month later "remember" to tell them where you found it

Both times I've read that I've laughed so hard my sides ached.

After hearing mention of this thread in the What is Your Favorite Thread? post, I searched it out and sat here all morning giggling over it. I had this vision of everyone who posted in to help her, crowded into the trailer and looking over her shoulder while the retrieval process continued.
In my town it would have made headline news.........

This one gets my vote too. A true classic.
