How to clean the loo without a brush

Disclaimer- not the poo troll & have IBD, therefore not able to control my BMs.

I've moved to a new office, where they don't have loo brushes. I have no idea how to clean the bowl. I am absolutely not putting my had in the toilet water (there's no gloves). So if you don't have a loo brush, what do you do???

Loo brushes are really unhygienic. When I do a thorough clean with a brush I just buy cheap washing up brushes from wilko or the market then chuck it away. Can you use a scourer pad and chuck into a nappy bag. You could use a nappy bag as a glove

Why do you need to clean it? Is there not an office cleaner?

bemoreeverything · 15/03/2020 19:04

OMG sorry just read the post again! Ignore me. I used to carry a flask of very hot water and a small bottle of disinfectant. Put some loo roll with disinfectant in and leave covered in hot water for a bit

Over the poo I mean

I really don’t like the thought of all that plastic being used once and binned. A loo brush is fine, stick it in some bleach and it lives to see another day.

HappyHammy · 15/03/2020 19:07

You would need to take your own brush if work dont want them used.

bemoreeverything you are really advocating possible soft skid marked pooey toilets left for cleaners im glad im not a cleaner in your office no wonder people look down on cleaners and yes I am one myself

isseywith4vampirecats · 15/03/2020 19:22

OP take a pair of rubber gloves and a kitchen scourer in a plastic bag use and then take home to disinfect

Put toilet paper down before You poop= no skids or noise

susandelgado · 15/03/2020 19:27

I just drop a Milton tablet in. Wink

BigRedBoat · 15/03/2020 19:34

Make a 'landing pad' by draping a few sheets of toilet paper in the loo before you go - no skids.

Absolutely not, no. I read the OP wrong and though it was about general cleaning. I missed the bit about IB.

im glad im not a cleaner in your office

I don't work in an office.

no wonder people look down on cleaners and yes I am one myself

I wasn't looking down on cleaners. Like I said I read it wrong I thought OP was tasked with cleaning the toilet as part of her job.

Make a poo hammock out of tissue before you go. Definitely works.

AlCalavicci · 15/03/2020 20:07

I agree with putting a bit of loo roll down 1st , drape one or two squares of paper where you normally leave skid marks
( that is proving the whole world has not run out of bog paper ! )

also flushing before you go so the walls of the bowl are wet will help to stop it from marking .

Or (if needs be a anonymous ) note to either the cleaners or HR to provide a brush for you to use .

feelinguseless101 · 15/03/2020 20:47

I do put loo roll down, but due to my condition it isn't always enough.

I'm not carrying around a bag of poo cleaning stuff, that seems really grim. Much more unhygienic than a loo brush!

It's a busy toilet, so I don't really have time to let a product 'sit'. And no, we don't have an office cleaner (public sector). I think it's unfair that my colleagues have to use an unclean loo though.

I didn't have this at my last office as there was a loo brush!

Could you buy one and sneak it in?

namechangedforthis1122 · 16/03/2020 08:15

Can't you take one in and leave it in the loo? No one needs to know it was you

feelinguseless101 · 16/03/2020 08:52

I think stealth loo brush placement may be necessary!

Buy a loo brush and leave it there?

GloGirl · 16/03/2020 10:18

Id buy a loo brush, leave in disabled toilet and use that one.

DameXanaduBramble · 16/03/2020 10:19

Lots of flushing!

ShirleyPhallus · 16/03/2020 10:22

Absolute lol at the thought of you carrying around a pair of pooey gloves and a brush. Premium 10/10 MN content that one.

Clangus00 · 16/03/2020 10:31

Buy a loo brush and leave it in there.

Zaphodsotherhead · 16/03/2020 11:28

Could you take bleach in? Less unhygienic than a bag of gloves and a brush, you can carry a sealed pot in your handbag and just tip loads down? I know this isn't environmentally friendly either, but needs must.
