Surely, surely - there is something less revolting than a toilet brush which is also as effective??

Toilet Duck sell a disposable toilet brus.

It’s a long, plastic handle with a refillable head. Just google it and see what you think. I have used it and it is pretty good! The refills are pretty cheap too.

I use the toilet duck version where you have a grippy thing that holds a little disposable 'brush' that you release and flush down the loo. I only use the official 'brushes' for cleaning up big messes - most of the time I just use the gripper to grip some loo roll and clean up any mess with that.

Sofuckingsad · 28/01/2022 15:37

Ha - great minds!

I use those disposable ones - plastic handle with a single use tab that's supposed to be flushable, except I don't flush them. Bin them wrapped in a biodegradable nappy bag along with the wipes I use for the rest of the loo. Not perfect but I can't think of anything better. Not willing to put my hands down the bowl, even in rubber gloves. How do people clean the gloves? Do they bin them after one use? And what do they scrub the bowl with?

I tried silicone loo brushes, they are cleaner than normal loo brushes, nothing seems to stick to the brush, but they're not as effective either.

Buy a silicone toilet brush. You'll never look back

silicone loo brushes are tons nicer than nylon bristly types

SummerHouse · 28/01/2022 15:46

I bought a silicone one. I have looked back a few times now.

I have a ridiculously expensive Joseph Joseph one. It is beyond useless I might as well be using a stick

Bidet hose.

No brushes in this house ... marigolds and loo roll after use. My loos are sparkling, fresh and clean :)

Kshhuxnxk · 28/01/2022 16:19

I literally just stick my hand down the toilet with toilet paper and get cleaned right under the rim........
