Big issue - toilet brush or rubber gloves and cloth?

[LivingLaVidaLurker2]

Kim and Aggie say bin the toilet brushes, they're disgusting and full of germs. I agree - they are nasty things.

However, happy though I am to clean the inside of the toilet when my family has made a mark, I don't fancy clearing up after guests. Oh, and wouldn't guests like the option to clear up after themselves, if necessary?

I will never get the hang of being a housewife.

I don't use the toilet brush (unless there is a blockage) I think they are disgusting. I prefer to wipe away any marks using a cloth and toilet cleaner.

Do you bin the cloth after each clean? If not, where do you keep it? You can hardly put it in a wash!

Toilet brushes are gross but they are only used for one thing.

Buy an Ikea loo brush and loads of the replacement brushes (they are dead cheap). Change the brush head really often and leave it for visitors only (it is not OK not to provide a loo brush for visitors).

Clean marks off the loo with some loo roll.

blimey we're all germ phobic, what can you realistically catch from a loo brush!

Ah, a mixture of both methods. And, of course I should use toilet roll!

Now all I need to do is wait for ds to grow out of his fascination with the brush.

If I used cloths for each skidmark our household produced I'd have a cloth mountain the size of Mount Everest

Brush, ladies!!!

I use disposable cloths or rags to clean the loo. I leave a brush by the side for anyone who wants to clean up after themselves and replace it regularly, Sainsburys plain white ones are £1.99 each.

I use those ones with disposable flushable heads.

I do usually use toilet paper but didn't know if this was an accepted method . If the bathroom cleaning cloth looks like it is coming to the end of its lifespan I use that and then stick it in the bin.

We alway have a loo brush next to the loo anyway, I just personally prefer not to use it.

I will never forget the morning DS1 started brushing his hair with it whilst I was having a shower

I use Asda disposable floor cloths and bleach spray.

More hygenic to use a cloth or wipe imo, but only if you throw it away after each use.

Toilet Duck flushable "brush" is great

is all gross but alleviated slightly by regularly bleaching the brush

I can't see how those 'flushable' brushes are actually flushable, surely they fester in your pipes ready and waiting for a blockage.

some kiddies moist bum wipes for when they start using the loo claim they are flushable. Ask a plumber - they are most deffo not

the problem i have with the toilet duck flushable pads is that it starts to disintegrate before i have finished so they are def flushable imo
