Not a pleasant topic but it can happen to all of us....

Oh dear, and me too.

Cindersdad, is your sister -I law`s friend the one who was featured on the TalkTalk news page the other week? I couldn`t believe anyone would try to throw something like that out of the window, yuck!

I do the same as Cindersdad. As for scooping up a floater and wrapping it in loo paper - yuck!

Can I just add (I love this post, ) for problematic floaters I have found a couple of jugs of very hot water helps. ?

Having read about them on GN, I bought a Loogun a while ago. It works perfectly on skid marks. The video in the advert shows it being used on Vegemite inside a fish tank ! Even my GCs use it when required, that is when they have tired of using it as a water pistol!
Before that I used the toilet paper method, never had a brush as I think they are disgusting!

callgirl1 - no idea if this was the same woman. The Lady in question went on a date and back to the guy's home and asked to use the loo - then the floater predicament ensued and got out of hand. Third hand tale probably true as she was a little tipsy.

My OH who is OTT cleaning says unclean fridges and microwaves harbour more germs than many loos. I've cleaned plenty of nasty things in my time and never yet been ill as a result; you just need to be careful and wash your hands.

dogsmother that would help but beware toilet plumbing and hot water do not always go well together. On holiday in Corfu we had an apartment where the toilet was plumbed in wrongly and flushed hot water - the result was a wrecked loo.

I always thought toilet brushes were used for cleaning purposes only - as in scrubbing around the bowl and under the rim. That's all ours is used for anyway.

I wouldn't have one if it were used for the purposes described in this thread.

This is a good alternative to a toilet brush. www.amazon.co.uk/Toilet-Duck-Fresh-Brush-Starter/dp/B01LTHMH0I/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1507490284&sr=8-1&keywords=disposable+toilet+brushes&tag=gransnetforum-21

I've been using the Toilet Duck brush for ages. Instead of their expensive little pads I often put a wedge of paper in it instead.

When my washing up brush is knackered I buy a new one and use old one round the toilets then throw it away otherwise bleach in between time

Made me giggle bella

Shysal, thanks for the link, I'll get one of those too.

Well, if you do use a loo brush, please don't do what OH once did and leave it to soak, sticking up in the lavatory pan. I rushed in, sat down quick and the rest I can leave to your imagination

old goat!
