Installation of the toilet brush and additional elements should be carried out in such a way that no complications arise from its placement. Depending on the type of this product, it can be installed differently. Some may take up more space than others, so it is important to choose ones that are suitable for the size of the bathroom.
Installation of the Toilet Brush
A large number of toilet brushes available on the market are designed to be placed on the floor near the toilet. Users do not have to search long for this product when they want to use it. A major advantage of this type of product is that it can be easily moved to another location. These types of toilet brushes come with a container that effectively prevents water and dirt from the bristles from spilling onto the floor. There are toilet brushes that need to be placed on a stand as well as those that are wall-mounted.
The wall-mounted toilet brush is designed for permanent installation on the wall. You should consider where to best position it. It should not be located much further from the toilet, as you may splash the floor while moving the brush. On the other hand, toilet brushes placed on a stand are very presentable. They usually have a holder for toilet paper and sometimes even a container where you can place newspapers. They are both practical and decorative products. However, they are quite large, so they are best suited for larger bathrooms.
Installation and Appearance of the Toilet Brush Container
The container designed for the toilet brush is a noticeable element. Therefore, before choosing one for your bathroom, observe how it looks and whether it is durable. It should be easy to clean and retain its original appearance for a long time. There is a wide selection of containers available on the market. They come as floor-standing with a toilet paper holder, free-standing, and wall-mounted. Free-standing containers should be made from metal with weights or ceramic. However, plastic ones can easily tip over.
Wall-mounted containers, which should be installed on the wall, need to be fixed near the toilet, but in a spot where they aren't immediately visible upon entering the bathroom. A good solution is a container that can be taken out of the holder and cleaned thoroughly. Meanwhile, toilet brush stands must be very stable and not easily tipped over. Both the brush and the container should match the appearance of the other bathroom furnishings. A stylish space can be achieved by choosing accessories in similar styles and colors.
How to Clean an Installed Toilet Brush?
A toilet brush accumulates a large amount of bacteria. Often, after cleaning the toilet, we place it back in the container. However, it is recommended to maintain it between scrubs. There are several home methods to do so. One method is to pour a few cups of baking soda into the bowl and soak the brush in the water there. Keep it in this solution for a few hours. This will refresh both the brush and the toilet bowl. If this method doesn't work, you should dispose of the brush and get a new one.
Another solution is to place the toilet brush in warm water into which you have previously poured a toilet cleaner. Then wait a few minutes and rinse the brush under a strong stream of water. It is also worth doing the same with the brush container. However, if you primarily have an issue with residue and scale, you can use water with vinegar for this purpose. Various methods are used to clean an installed toilet brush. This way, a less-than-clean or discolored brush will look new.
