Toilet Brushes!

We have four loos, all in use daily.
We have those duck flushable cleaners for use between big cleans.

We had a new bathroom fitted recently. Touch wood, I find the new loo seems to keep much cleaner, also has a strong flush. If anything ‘sticks’, I do as others have said, and clean it with wet loo paper, then wash my hands really well.

I have bought a new toilet brush that matches my other bathroom accessories, but it is for show only! Have told DH not to use it! If guests needed to, well….

those without a brush...does each family member or guest have access to gloves and bleach?

a brush is essential so it can be seen and family members shown how to flush the loo then use brush and bleach to remove any stain then flush brush in loo with bleach........children should be taught age appropriately

Yes I agree whiff. The easiest way remove it quickly while you can ?

No, toilet brushes are disgusting things.
I use disposable gloves and a cloth, and wrap them in a bag and put them in the wheelie bin.
My cleaning lady asked if I had a loo brush, I thought it might be unfair to ask her to stick her hand down the loos, so got some cheap washing up brushes she can just throw away. Even if I go in someone else’s loo, and there’s a loo brush it makes me heave.

The question of marks in the toilet has been raised if when I use someone else's loo and leave a mark I wet some toilet paper and wipe it away and the paper gets flushed away. I always wash my hands well after using the toilet then again I wash my hands frequently in any case.

I too wonder where rubber gloves are stored and how you keep them clean.
Disposable cloths aren't a good thing for the environment.

Can't sleep in this heat so downstairs pondering the question of loo brushes.
I have to say mine comes in very handy if I need to generate extra turbulence to ensure everything flushes away and stays away. It prevents anything nasty sneaking back for an encore.

You'll be dreaming about big tongues licking out the toilet bowl, now.

Those who are using the silicone tongue, cleaning cloths and rubber gloves down the toilet please come back and tell us how and where you clean them after use and where you store them. I’ve got enough to keep me awake at night without mulling this over!

And yet water companies tell us not to flush anything but, well, poo.

Toilet Duck with disposable pads are in my bathroom, would not have a traditional toilet brush as I shudder at the state of some I’ve seen!

Surely the cloths and gloves are disgusting, dirty things?
Where do they go after you've wiped the lav out?
What washload do you put them in with, and how do you clean the gloves?

MissAdventure ??

Haven’t had a toilet brush in my house for years and I have 4 toilets.

Disgusting dirty things.I have used the toilet duck one with disposable pads,but not recently.

My toilets are all immaculate,no limescale either.

They're the best thing to deal with the skidmarks.
Short of a hammer and chisel, that is.

icanhandthemback -. The very thought of a tongue thingie associated with cleaning a toilet bowl is so horrible it's fascinating.

Where do you keep the rubber gloves that have been down the toilet?

We have a silicon thing that looks like a tongue which is easy to clean and does a brilliant job. We found it at the Ideal Home Exhibition and I will never use a toilet brush again!

Mokryna - I definitely would not have asked my guest to clean the toilet but would have moaned a lot about it afterwards lol. if he did the same again I would either tell him he needed to clean his mess, or more likely I wouldn't invite him back, on the basis of what does he think I am ?

When we have guests they use the downstairs toilet. I def don't want a guest using a cloth down the toilet so make sure I've removed all cleaning cloths but I do make sure there is toilet duck or similar plus a toilet brush in case they need to use it. After they have left I usually go in with bleach, cloths, and floor mop. Tbh I've never had any mess to clean up but I like it to be cleaned straight away. I've also found that putting a toilet block containing bleach in the cistern before guests arrive helps to keep things cleaner and although these aren't very environmentally friendly, neither is the bleach or toilet cleaner.

We have one but it’s more for visitors to use as mentioned before. I get the rubber gloves out.

We have a treatment plant and no beach allowed down sinks, basins or toilet.

A clean bleached one is in the cupboard and comes out when I have guests. One male guest didn’t use it and had left before I realized, mind you I don’t think I could have asked him to clean after himself, would you have?

CrazyH. I agree. I use mine daily to clean the bowl along with bleach or toilet cleaner, rinse the brush in the toilet by flushing it in clean water and like you I have bleach in the toilet brush holder so that the bristles are stored in the bleach. I'm not actually touching anything that comes into direct contact with the toilet bowl. I hate the idea of putting my hand down with a cloth, rubber gloves or not ! What happens to the cloth, does it get binned after each use?
