MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
I normally replace the toilet brushes every couple of months with whatever's cheapest in the supermarket- as the person in charge of sanitary hygiene I really hate all the crap involved in maintaining brushes, antiseptics and bleaches.
Is there a decent brush which doesn't permanently trap bits of pooh in the bristles?
I've managed to just about reach 60 without having come up with a decent toilet cleaning/maintenance routine that doesn't make me feel I need to take a long hot shower afterwards- there must be a proper way of doing this.
We've managed to live in our own place for 20 years, and have never owned a toilet brush, learn to shite in the part that has water, ya filthy animal. That's a shit(lol) load of plastic wastage as well.
If you need a new bog brush every two months I'd think either you need to review your diet or your OCD. Mine must be at least 20 years old.
I think it is important to note that we have all grown close enough that we can discuss these things openly and without shame or shaming.
Edit
20 years old!!!! EWW YUK!!
You can get silicone ones, more analogous to a kitchen spatula. More of a scraping than brushing action. Don't get them confused and use it to stir your soup.
trap bits of pooh
Poor Winnie
wtf, every couple of months? my cheapish standard design one works fine, on the odd occasion shit gets stuck in the bristles another flush holding it in the water stream + vigorously stirring/plunging it in the toilet pan/bowl always gets it out.

I just give my undercarriage a vigorous scrubbing in the shower to remove stubborn clagnuts myself.

Reminds me of the Horrible Histories episode on Romans 😂
the purpose of a toilet brush is to scrub limescale etc off the toilet bowl using bleach/cleaner.
it is NOT for scraping claggy turds, thus leaving flecks of shite on display in your bathroom. That is minging. Anyone who does that is a ****ing animal. Use some bog roll.
HTH
Wait what.
You grab a bunch if tp plunge it beneath the surfaces to remove the scrape marks where the monster turds have been forced round the ubend?
Toilet brushes are for cleaning the toilet. I have a silcone one, its pretty effective.
the bog roll is for cleaning anything above the waterline. I've NEVER done or even seen one that leaves skids BELOW the waterline that isn't shifted by one or two flushes.You grab a bunch if tp plunge it beneath the surfaces to remove the scrape marks where the monster turds have been forced round the ubend?
What the **** are you eating, cement?!
Joseph Joseph Flex is the answer you seek. About 2 years since I bought this one and still looks and works like new.
Just put the brush in the dishwasher every now and again.
Problem solved.

Hark at 'er with the beautiful s**ts.
I just got given an eco friendly bog brush for my birthday. I'm not entirely sure how I feel about this.
I am becoming worried about this thread. I am concerned that people are going to start posting pictures next...

This, +3 (house with many loos).
You can even get one to store the bog-cleaning product in the back of the stand.

I've got one of these: Silicone bog brush. Works really well and doesn't have anywhere for anything to cling to. Only once have I had to clean it and that was after a particularly nasty stomach bug, the rest of the time a quick spray with some Dettol when I clean the bathroom and it's been smell-free for almost 2 years now.

Last time I tried that she gave me a right slap.

Shitting hell! 😳 Still, those landfills are awful hungry.
Hateful dirty shit holders are toilet brushes. Not had one for many years and not missed it. We just use bleach to remove any skid marks and if that doesnt work first time then I try and blast them off next time I pee, who doesnt like to play a game/aim at things when peeing.

Have you ever thought you may be overthinking it? It doesn't actually matter if the inside of your toilet is riddled with bacteria, because all it's there for is the disposal of poo and wee. Admittedly, if you licked the inside of it, you'd probably be quite ill, but there's an obvious way to avoid that scenario.
Clean the bowl once a week (mainly for aesthetic rather than hygiene reasons), using some bleach and a toilet brush, rinse said bowl and brush with a flush, place brush back in stand, get on with your life.
It's like those people who clean the inside of their wheelie bins. I mean, why?
I too am in charge of household sanitation and am a convert to the Toilet Duck 'Fresh Brush'. Uses biodegradable flushable pads. Cleans and disinfects the bowl very well and zero prospect of any 'remnants'.
One of the funniest thread titles? Lol
Are the silicone ones any less painful?
I find that although the standard brush ones are good at cleaning, the bristles are sometimes quite scratchy.
Never had a brush, I'm pretty certain our toilets are self cleaning, possibly a part time job for the sock and underwear fairy.

Only downside, potentially a bit stingy if you get Neptune's Kiss when you're suffering from chalfonts.

No way am I taking my chains and cassettes out for a bloody (eeeuuugh) bog brush...
Second the in cistern blocks, seems to leave a film on the bowl where nothing really clings to to it now. Fitted new bathroom 4 years ago and still sparkly clean.
The aim game just clears most clagnuts.
I have an ikea bog brush that is contained in a metal tube with plastic internal where you only replace the brush not the handle or container. 2 brushes are like 99p.

I have that and it is better than a brush full of stale poo, but it's not brilliant at cleaning.

They are flushable, but what happens to them after they're flushed is another matter. I'm concerned(*) that they act as a centre for fatberg nucleation.
(*) may be an exaggeration.
