How often do you change your lavatory cleaning brush?

Question

Is yours a brush to match a fancy container, to be used until the decor is changed, or do you replace often with the plain plastic cheapy from local supermarket?

Answer 1

you are better off not having one of these revolting things, put a rubber glove on plenty of bleach and scrub the loo with a scratchy pad, the sort you use for washing up.  If the loo is done every day it stays beautiful and clean.  I think these are just harbingers of germs  yuk

Answer 2

I don't like lavatory brushes. We never had one when I was a kid either. They harbour germs and look disgusting (you can see what they are used to remove-yeuch!) when you see them in other people's loos. I just wipe off any 'accidents' left on the toilet bowl with toilet roll then flush it away and use a toilet cleaner/bleach around the toilet pan. This is much more hygienic than a brush left 'hanging around'.

Answer 3

When I moved into a house a few months ago that I'm renting with a friend, there was a toilet brush still in the bathroom. When we tried to move it, it was stuck inside the holder (gross!) so we ditched it and got a new cheapo one.

Answer 4

There's no need to change it if you keep it spotless. I never put it back in the container dirty. Pour neat bleach on it (watch your clothes) and swish it around in the loo until it's clean. I also keep a bit of bleachy water in the container all the time, replacing it every few days, and I buy the cheapo one from Tesco if I need a new one, but they last for years if kept clean.

Answer 5

Take no notice of answers above if they don't like the question they don't have to answer it

Answer 6

Haven't needed to change it as yet, we just pop it into the dishwasher on occasion and it comes out as good as new.

Answer 7

I don't know if this is a serious question. But incase it is...I don't use those toilet cleaning brushed. They are infested with nasty bacteria. Instead I use the toilet wand with the changable head. Then when I use one I just flush it down. I know it's bad for the environment and all, but I'd rather not have all that nasty bacteria in my bathroom.

Answer 8

This is an odd question, but I'll play along...

Our lavatory brush is one of those that has a not-so-fancy container that goes with it.  I don't replace those brushes that often, but I clean them with bleach twice a year.

Answer 9

Answer 13

Change them when they need it.  Bleach every week.  What a nosy question.  You don't have enough things to think about.
