To clean the toilet brush or not? Cleaning the toilet brush step by step
Many housewives ask themselves this question. The answer is simple. Of course, the answer is yes. On the surface of the toilet brush, there are all kinds of dirt and impurities that were previously in the toilet bowl. We certainly do not want them to spread in our bathroom. We do not have to clean the brush after every toilet cleaning. However, it is best to clean the brush at least once a week.
How to do it? We will need a bucket of hot water and detergent or disinfectant (it can be baking soda). Just place the toilet cleaning brush and its holder in the bucket with water and detergent. Let it sit for about an hour. After that time, pour the water out of the bucket, and leave the toilet cleaning brush and its holder to dry or wipe them with a paper towel. Remember to wear rubber gloves. First, wipe the handle of the toilet brush dry, as it is not always resistant to the harmful effects of moisture.
If after an hour of soaking your toilet brush is still not spotless and there are visible stains on it, apply cleaning products to its surface again. To fight tough stains and bacteria, a damp cloth will help you easily remove dirt from the brush. Also, remember to thoroughly clean the holder of the toilet brush. It is not only used for cleaning the bathroom but is also a breeding ground for germs and dirt.
The handle of the toilet brush is a breeding ground for bacteria and germs
It might seem that the most important part of the cleaning process of the toilet brush is its bristles. To some extent, we can agree with this, but the handle is also very important. Often, the toilet brush is placed on the floor near the toilet bowl and the flush. Therefore, its handle and holder are exposed to splashes from the flush water, as well as dirt from the bowl.
In addition, the toilet brush is used continuously in the bathroom. We do not always wear rubber gloves, so we touch the handle of the brush with our bare hands. Proven methods for cleaning the handle of the toilet brush include wiping it with a clean damp cloth after washing the bristles and holder. This way, we can be sure that our bathroom not only shines with cleanliness but is also free of all kinds of bacteria.
Filth on the surface of the toilet brush - how often should the brush be replaced?
The toilet brush is an accessory that is found in every Polish bathroom. However, few people realize that the toilet brush is a product that not only needs to be kept clean but also needs to be replaced regularly. The toilet brush is not a lifelong product. After a short period of use, you should find a new toilet brush in your bathroom. Of course, we do not have to replace it as often as toilet paper. One toilet brush is enough for half a year.
However, we must remember that the lifespan of toilet brushes depends on the material they are made of. A brush with silicone bristles is more durable than one with plastic bristles. Of course, to keep our toilet clean, the toilet brush must be regularly disinfected and cleaned.
