Toilet Brushes

Long ago, in the "olden days" of toilets, there was only one choice for toilet brushes: a hard bristled toilet brush with a long handle that you had to rinse, keep in your bathroom, and reuse every time you scrubbed the toilet. Bowl brushes have changed quite a bit from those days. A toilet bowl brush can still be seen in this style, but most of the newer ones are disposable. A toilet brush that is disposable may seem like a huge waste to a lot of people, but for some it means not having to keep germs and a disgusting, dirty brush in their home all the time.

For those who don't know, disposable toilet brushes are generally a long plastic handle that stays with you. On the end of the handle you add a cleaning pad that you change with each commode you clean. Some of these brush heads are flushable, making disposal easy. Some need to go into the garbage can. Either way, the unsanitary part of the toilet brushes is not hanging around collecting more bacteria between uses.

Some people really feel that throwing away a brush head every time they clean is a waste. For many, the only option is the traditional, non-disposable toilet brushes with the bristles and the long wooden or plastic handle. For these people, toilet brush holders have become very popular. A toilet brush with a stand can even be purchased so the whole thing comes in one package. This is also true of the toilet plunger and brush set.

A toilet brush holder basically is exactly what it sounds like: it holds toilet brushes when they are not in use. Some toilet brushes have holders that have an opening that, when you turn it, it closes. This keeps small children and pets away from the dirtiest part of the toilet brush. Since holder for toilet brushes have become so popular, lots of companies are making stylish ones. There are all different colors of toilet brushes and matching holders, including a very girly pink toilet brush! The Diva toilet brush holder is also very girly, as is the heart and star toilet brush and holder. For guys, there are several options, like the arbor stripe toilet brush. Most men won’t be interested in the Spivey toilet brush and holder, which some painted with a country scene. However, a plain white plastic set would probably be fine for any guy.
