Would it be absolutely disgusting to...

[meladeso]

Put loo brushes in the dishwasher on their own, on hot setting, followed by a hot wash on empty??!!!

Yes I have just bought a replacement one from Wilkins for 65p

🤮 yabu!

Unless you’re planning to brush your teeth with it, throw it away n get a new one.

Just ewww.

Oh god no!

Ha ha- just read the Mirror article - you’ll be on This Morning next OP!! What will Holly and Phil think of it?! They could look at different ways to clean your bog brush that might not lead to death or at least a spell in hospital.

OP will soon be in the Daily Fail, sad faced and brandishing her mucky loo brush.

I have seen that the Mirror has taken the opportunity to illustrate the article with a titillating photo of a woman on the loo in her pants, or rather out of them. At least the Liverpool Echo who seem to have lifted the story first used a photo of a loo and loo brush.

Will the OP be in the Fail sad faced on the loo in her pants? Her sad faced family, holding their aching stomachs, gathered around the dishwasher?

And this.. I knew I recognized the headline 🤣

⚠ Dame's image is not for the squeamish

According to the Echo, we are all in a frenzy, dear mumsnetters

For some reason, being told I'm frenzied makes me want to do Miss Piggy and Animal impressions.

you can get a loo brush for about a quid, why would you even consider this?? Vile. Not worth it financially or health wise. Shit in the dishwasher. No thank you.

Well, thanks to this thread I bought two new loo brushes from JL to replace my 18m old Ikea ones - the Ikea ones are fine, if anyone wants them to stop them going in landfill, just drop me a PM - happy to post them.

it would be appalling.

According to the Mirror poll 10% of people think this is fine.

It’s put me off ever eating or drinking at anyone else’s house ever again, in case they are one of the 10%!

Hahaha Brilliant ive a loo brush that is at least 25 years old I am NOT joking!
I clean it regularly in its own little tub with hot water and bleach overnight.....Ive never been able to justify buying another when this one 'works' isn't discoulored (its cream in colour) or broken and as if to prove the point, made of plastic and seemingly made to last a lifetime oh and btw its never seen the inside of my dishwasher lol

Bubbinsmama I love that! It must feel like part of the family by now. Have you named it? Just to point out though that I learned on this thread that hot water decomposes the active ingredient of bleach and renders it ineffective (it's true,I checked),so how you are still alive is nothing short of a bloody miracle

On the subject of poo particles, you could be brushing your teeth with them if people don't put the seat down/toothbrushe heads aren't covered when flushing!

*toothbrush not sure where the e came from !

@NutElla5x Hahaha wow im thats amused me greatly,
I guess Im still alive as its my toilet that I clean with that (germ infested) toilet brush not my teeth
Seriously though the toilet duck and milton must be doing the trick!!
(insert poop emoji here)

Those who think loo brushes are icky - how do you clean the loo properly (after the kids have been using it)?

Omg yuk..in my toilet brush holder i fill it up with bleach water. I NEVER put it in dry. That way it stays fresher. I change the water weekly

Please don't.

Gross beyond belief.
Buy a new loo brush!
