What makes a good toilet brush?
The purpose of a good toilet brush is to allow you to clean the toilet effectively. As soon as the bristles of a toilet brush are worn out or flattened, the brush no longer cleans your toilet bowl well enough. Therefore, replacement brushes are available separately for a good toilet brush.
The toilet brush holder also affects quality. A good toilet brush holder prevents the bristles from constantly touching dirty water thanks to a (removable) drip tray. You can put all-purpose cleaner, dishwashing liquid, or toilet cleaner in this to inhibit bacterial growth.
Types of brushes: with standing or hanging holder
Which toilet brush suits you best? There are toilet brushes in freestanding holders or toilet brush holders that you can hang on the wall. In multiple series of toilet accessories at Bath&In Living, you will find both options. This involves, among other things, the question of whether or not you want to drill holes in your wall. Do you not want to screw any toilet accessories into the wall? Then a toilet butler is the solution for you: a freestanding holder with a toilet brush and toilet roll holder in one!
For toilet brush holders made of heavier materials such as natural stone, a hanging toilet brush is often not available. So, if you have your heart set on this style, the choice for a free-standing toilet brush has already been made for you. Besides not having to make holes in the wall, the advantage of a free-standing toilet brush is the flexibility to move it around. However, this does mean that you have to put the toilet brush aside when you are vacuuming and mopping.
A hanging toilet brush creates a modern, tidy look and keeps the floor clear. This is not only convenient when cleaning the toilet floor, but also gives a more spacious appearance due to the floating effect. Don't want a hanging toilet brush but don't want to drill? Then take a look at the toilet brush holders that you can attach to the wall with adhesive.
Cleaning a toilet brush: here's how to do it
You want to keep your toilet as clean and hygienic as possible. It is important to include the toilet brush in this and clean it regularly. Rinse the bristles in the clean flush water of the toilet after each use. To minimize bacterial growth, you can wedge the handle of the toilet brush between the seat after use and let the brush drip and dry over the toilet bowl. Only then place the toilet brush back in the holder.
Ensure a thorough weekly cleaning of the bristles by soaking the toilet brush in soapy water. Then rinse it with clean water, let the bristles dry, and place it back in the holder, which you have also cleaned beforehand. You can do this with hot water and baking soda or bleach. Wipe the outside of the toilet brush holder and the handle of the toilet brush with a damp cloth. Do not use harsh cleaning agents, but for example, soapy water with a little dishwashing liquid.
How often should you replace a toilet brush?
Despite cleaning your toilet brush thoroughly, it is still an item that is best replaced regularly.Do this once or twice a year. Or sooner, for example, when the bristles are visibly discolored or worn. After all, you can no longer clean your toilet optimally with flattened bristles. It is also advisable to replace the brush after the flu has been prevalent in your family.
