Toilet brushes - what am I missing

What is supposed to happen with toilet brushes ? If you use them to clean off skidmarks, surely they just get clogged up immediately with poo? Then sit in their little holder with poo on?

I don’t understand why people even use a toilet brush? In the 20 years’ I’ve owned and run a household with 3 boys - I’ve owned one toilet brush for about a week and it was gross. Toilet water sitting there in a little pot? A brush with wet toilet paper stuck to it?? 🤮

I bleach under the rim, bleach round the bowl, then a squirt in the water. Shut the toilet lid. Hey presto - a clean toilet without swishing grime around with a brush. ✨

I agree. I hate the things and have never used one in my 30 year marriage.

Then you have to have the seat up when you flush. Not for me.

Exactly. I’m surprised to read that so many people apparently lean over a flushing toilet, dangling a brush in there 🤢
