Do you own a toilet brush?

Also have a toilet brush that is bleached weekly in scalding water.
Is her firm using one of those brush-type thingys with detachable head ?
I have considered one of those but wondered if the detachable head schtick is just a way of generating more income for the manufacturers and at the expense of our household budget.
Happy to be convinced.
They can't use nothing, surely ?

No idea, it was a passing comment by one of my daughters colleagues - they must, as you say, be using something.

I clean mine by pouring a generous amount of bleach into the toilet bowl and let the brush soak for a few hours.

I haven't had a toilet brush in years. They give me the creeps with all sorts of grot sticking to the stained bristles. I use a single use, disposable cleaning pad which attaches to a long handle. The best way is to snap on the rubber gloves and with a non-abrasive cleaning pad get into all the nooks and crannies.

I have one. I use it to clean the toilet and only to clean the toilet. I can understand how it might be unhygienic if I also used it to do the washing up - or my teeth.

Yes, I have one, and when it’s put back in its holder, it is put into bleach…

What about your guests? Or any visitor using the cloakroom?

I was waiting for somebody to post that!

From what I was told a ban was put on
hotels,guest houses, B and B etc having toilet brush's.
Check it out if you stay at Travelodge or Premier inn in the future.

Just have to say that what we all do in our own homes is our concern.

No! Revolting things that have no place in the home nowadays.

🤣🤣🤣

Yes, always have used one. It sits in the enamel pottie at the back of the bathroom cupboard. Same as Desdemona, I let it sit in the bleachy water for a few minutes before a very hot rinse.

Oh, surely not! Mine goes with the whites in the washing machine on 90 degrees! 🤣🤣🤣

No I never use ones they give me the creeps

I also have those 'pad on a stick' ones. They are probably not particularly great ecologically, but they are so much more hygienic. You just clip the pad onto the stick (without touching), clean, then unclip it into the bin (again, without touching) and the job's done. The pads are infused with cleaning product, so there's no over-use of that, and they smell pleasant, so they deodorise as well as clean.

If you have a loo seat that lifts off for cleaning you can do them both together.

Saves on energy costs! 😂

I have those as well. They were provided for use in the gîte last year and I liked them so much I ordered one for each toilet (and a pack of refills.)

No as my mum used thick bleach and hot water its what I use.

Never owned one - disgusting things! The thought of it lurking in its holder makes me cringe, as for putting it in the dishwasher - surely not 😛 that must be a joke!??? For me it's on with the rubber gloves before I give the loo a good clean .

I think they are disgusting....would never have one

I find it doubles up as a good back scrubber before I use it for the loo before popping into the dishwasher.

And the microwave kills the germs! 🥴

I know there are silicone ones now...
I know this because I inspected one in TKMaxx this morning!
