Loo brushes

[eebagum]

AIBU to ask... those of you who don't use loo brushes as they are, quite frankly, disgusting, how do you clean plop marks off the inside of the toilet?

Came into the downstairs toilet this morning to discover a child had left skid marks inside the loo, and as it hadn't been used since yesterday afternoon they had dried on. Put bleach down to 'soften' it, left 5 minutes and flushed but the turd tracks marks still remained. Only way I could get them off was with the loo brush!

I know many people think they are disgusting and don't have them, but what do you do instead??

I had a boyfriend who called his loo brush his 'shitty hedgehog' and he kept it next to his toilet on a stand not holder and it was stained brown and if you picked it up there was thick brown sludge water in the bottom of the stand where he would clean his shit marks and then just chuck it back on the side every time dripping with shitty water

justkeeprolling why are you looking under the rim of your friends loo?

I use a loo brush. Bleach in the holder, changed regularly and put the brush in the flush stream. I aim to replace mine quarterly (I won't remember to do it at all unless do it regularly) and have a decent (but not ornamental) holder.

They're not my favourite household item. I'm not hysterical about them being disgusting or filthy but they're not the nicest things in the world either!

I use a loo brush. Just bleach it after you use it. We once did an experiment at my school where we swabbed mobile phones, keyboards, pens etc. and then let the microbiology lab technician grow the bacteria. Trust me, touching the handle of a loo brush is the least of your worries!

I always assume the anti loo brush brigade don't entertain or have any friends.

How are visitors supposed to clean the loo, if they leave a skidder?

And how is getting in there with (even gloved) hands in any way preferable?

They're the same people who are horrified by the notion of putting towels and sheets in the same wash, and are convinced that anyone who doesn't boil their knickers in bleach will contract bubonic plague

It’s been so long since we’ve had a good loo brush thread..(sighs)

Why do people object loo brushes?

@Chillaxinginmykimono - yes, exactly. The only thing grimmer than poking about in your own loo is having to do it to to someone else's loo.

@Fiddlesticks, I wash sheets & towels separately quite often but mostly so that my machine isn't jammed full and due to drying constraints. I don't have an issue with them being in the same wash!
