Do you own a toilet brush?

I haven't had a toilet brush in years. They give me the creeps with all sorts of grot sticking to the stained bristles. I use a single use, disposable cleaning pad which attaches to a long handle. The best way is to snap on the rubber gloves and with a non-abrasive cleaning pad get into all the nooks and crannies.

What about your guests? Or any visitor using the cloakroom?

Yes, I have one, and when it’s put back in its holder, it is put into bleach…

I have one. I use it to clean the toilet and only to clean the toilet. I can understand how it might be unhygienic if I also used it to do the washing up - or my teeth.

Also have a toilet brush that is bleached weekly in scalding water.
Is her firm using one of those brush-type thingys with detachable head ?
I have considered one of those but wondered if the detachable head schtick is just a way of generating more income for the manufacturers and at the expense of our household budget.
Happy to be convinced.
They can't use nothing, surely ?

No idea, it was a passing comment by one of my daughters colleagues - they must, as you say, be using something.

I clean mine by pouring a generous amount of bleach into the toilet bowl and let the brush soak for a few hours.

I know this is a bizarre post, but I am wondering!!

I have one. My daughter came home from work today and said the cleaning company had removed them all from the works toilets as they are 'unhygienic.'

She doesn't know what they are using instead!
