to tell you how to use a loo brush?

[OohMavis]

BECAUSE I AM RIGHT.

A toilet brush is not for removing skiddies off the bowl. It's not. You don't take what is supposed to be a permanent fixture of your bathroom and smear it in shit, then leave it there, festering and breeding in its own little bowl of filth. That's fucking minging. This is why the poor toilet brush gets such a bad rep, you see, people are doing it all wrong.

When you skid the toilet, you take a piece of toilet paper, and you wipe it off. And before you all go "but Mavis, that's also fucking minging", well, I can only say it's minging if you don't intend to wash your hands before you leave the bathroom. Who's ready to admit to that then

"I buy a new one every week" - well, the environment hates you and you're probably going to hell. And you still have a pooey brush in your bathroom for seven days emitting its pooey vapours. So.

The intended purpose for a toilet brush is to clean. Like with bleach. When you clean your loo. Once a week. And then back it goes, all germ-free because all it's done is swish about in very concentrated bleachy water, until the next time.

Can I say or is that totally out of fashion nowadays?

I thought you'd prefer the honour of doing so Ditsy. I've left the domestos out for you my dear.

So adults should moderate their language just in case it offends someone's delicate sensibilities. If you think the language is beyond the pale, report it, close the thread and get on with your day. Don't come onto a thread and moan.

Anyway bog brushes, sometimes there's just some skids that need a brush to get rid. Especially sticky poos. If you bleach, scrub, and rinse, there shouldn't be any problems with dirty bog brushes.

We could always start discussing whether we put the dog's bowls in the dishwasher. That's always a goodun.

As is rinsing plates after washing.

Ditsy my love, there is a lot of shite here, and a lot of swearing, and even a lot of nasty people. But there are lots of wonderful threads here too, hope you find some that you enjoy.

Oh the delicious irony of a poster complaining about foul language being replied to by someone called CrankyCunt. Well played there Cranky

Missed that, very funny

I do try and I tried really hard to not swear in my post! 'twas very fucking hard.

Oh so satisfying. Please tell me you're putting the loo brush in there too...?

My dog bowl is in the dishwasher right now. With ACTUAL HUMAN BOWLS!

Cranky fortunately you don't need to swear in your post and still manage to spread the filth just by posting.

Hope you've written your wills

Tell me Mavis , exactly how does one chuck bleach everywhere without damaging the watercourses and environment, yet buying loo brushes consigns one to environmental doom and hatred by the planet?

Do feminists not like loo brushes?!

One does is hypocritically, Cutted.

One does so

I was actually nearly sick the other week when I went to use our loo brush. My son had done one of his foot long rubbery poos that won't flush so had tried to push it down with the brush. The brush was literally covered in his poo, it was so disgusting. I was furious. He's nearly thirteen so old enough to know that this isn't acceptable.

As well as reminding me how grotty loo bushes are, MN also shocks me at how much bleach etc people seem to feel the need to chuck down the loo. Just seems mad. I'd rather go and wipe down all the light switches, handles, remotes, buttons on things eg. kettle than pour that much bleach down the bog which gets sat on and nothing more. I bet there's a shocking amount of people that never wipe down their phone or tv remote out there.

Dear cranky,
If you read all the thread it was really said as a joke, tongue in cheek which is how penguin and several others took it.
My other alternative is that I don't bother with it at all and find something better to do with my time which when I see replies like yours makes me think that's what I should do. Thanks to the others that saw it as a humorous dig which was how it was meant. I'm not delicate I say the occasional swear word but not in your league I just don't see the need to be fing and cing all over the place. Bet the kids have some choice language.

I use Eco as we have septic tank but thanks penguin and Google gave the bleach a squeeze had to laugh at the first page response to our light hearted HUMOUR were someone was worried, felt like we had been told off for injuring people.

Haven't read the whole thread but I hate loo brushes! Why keep a brush with poo particles on it in the corner of a room?! YUCK.

Bleach down loo gets rid of stains.

You know how there is often browny water in the bottom of a toilet brush pot? I always assumed it was poo and used to rant at my DH (since I only use the loo brush for its intended use - once a week scrubbing of the toilet). However, DH went away for a week so I was only person in the house, and still I found brown water at the bottom of the pot. I conclude it must be rust, from the staples used to keep the bristles in place (which are indeed rusty)
