The great toilet brush debate

[Angie169]

Off and on on all sorts of different I've seen people do or don't use toilet brushes can we get a consensus here why do you use them or why don't you use it for the record I do use one.
I realise so some people think they're are germ riddled
However I have a effective and through way of cleaning them .
Opinions please . . . . . .

I use loo brushes - the SimpleHuman ones. They are rinsed and bleached after every use.
Heavy limescale area here , so you need to scrub - bleach just makes the limescale go white, it doesn't get rid of it.
@SluttyButty - when I complained to the plumber about the useless new eco flush toilet we had fitted - he said to just hold the button in longer, and you will get the full cistern of water - I hadn't known that ...

We have one, I cant see how you can keep the pan clean without one,Squirt toilet cleaner around the pan and then give it a good leathering with the brush.

I keep my brush holder half full of a strong mix of flash liquid,bleach and water, Change it every week

I have disposable ones for cleaning but use a jug of water to get rid of,skid marks

I’m really hoping that those saying they wash them in the dishwasher are joking 🤮

Me too! I thought the inlaws letting their dogs lick the plates before they went into the dishwasher was disturbing but this takes the

I don’t use a brush - I have a loo blade.

My toilet brush is probably cleaner than my dish sponge. I scrub the toilet with bleach and so it’s thoroughly disinfected every time.

No loo brush in this house, I've never had one. I honestly can't remember the last time I saw one in anyone's loo. I live in a soft water area so limescale isn't an issue.

Was joking about putting it in the dishwasher.

Our neighbour is currently having a big garden party outside. For some reason the centre of his patio table is adorned with a toilet brush in holder. I have no idea why and no real intention of asking him (cos he's a twat) but froth away at the thought.

Bing - obviously in homage to mumsnet.
Everyone needs a loo brush at s party.

@bookbook thank you for that. It only worked 🙌🏻 I can chuck the shit stick away 😂

@Fintress you wouldn't see our loo brushes because they're hidden away behind the loo. Hard water area here so loo brush is essential along with harpic limescale cleaner.

Another thought... those of you who are horrified at the idea of wiping away any marks with a wad of tissue... haven't you just done that exact same thing when wiping your arse?! That is, you've used tissue to wipe away poo. Why does the same poo become much worse when it's hit some porcelain? You can even add bleach to the equation (which, presumably, you're not doing with your arse...).

I don’t get this ‘put your hand down the loo’ and ‘how do you get under the rim’ thing. Bleach in one of those duck beak shaped bottles goes right under the rim, runs down and cleans everything, including under the water in 20 mins so long as it’s thick, pure bleach. No need for hands.

Maybe it works for us as we do it several times a day. Perhaps if we only cleaned our loo weekly we’d need to put in more effort.

As for the ‘swimming pool’ smell, I love it! I love my house smelling all bleachy, dettol and Zoflora. Yum.

Quite simply you need a Looblade

Bluuuuuuuuuuuuuuurgh.

Nope. Don’t have one. Fucking disgusting.

My toilet is sparking. I don’t want or need one as I have other ways to clean it.

We've got a Fresh Brush in each loo
