Choosing Right Toilet Brush
by David Andrew Smith
We all have at least one toilet in our house or apartment and
many of us have two or more. What should we find close to these
toilets? A toilet brush. It is rare to find a toilet in a
domestic setting that does not one nearby. Why do we put so
much value in a toilet brush?
A toilet brush is useful and in fact an absolute necessity for
the cleaning of the interior surfaces of the toilet bowl. There
we have it, it is a cleaning accessory. It is a brush because it
is required to scrub away at those resistant stubborn stains.
However we live in times where individuals require that all
their accessories fit in with each other and look aesthetically
pleasing. Toilet brushes and their holders are no exception to
this. Consequently they can be found in all manner of shapes,
sizes, colours, and materials and the same applies to the
holders. You can have wooden, plastic or metal handles. You can
find holders that attach to the wall or are free standing. They
can be found as scrubbing brushes with long handles to humorous
celebrity look-alikes. Novelty toilet brushes abound in the
market place.
When deciding what toilet brush/holder you should get for your
toilet consider its function and relate that to its design. It
has a specific function and you have to decide if its design is
best suited to carry out that function efficiently. Do not buy
on impulse or because it looks good and would fit in
decoratively.
Let us take a closer look at its function. It is used to scrub
away at the dirt and accumulated faecal debris, and when used
with the correct cleaning chemical will stop lime scale built
up. Lime scale, especially in those areas not so visible will
allow dirt to built up because of its roughened surface. Where
does all of this collect? Well it can e found any where on the
inner surface of the bowl. Faecal matter tends to accumulate on
the sides towards the base and below the water line on the whole
of the curved inner surface disappearing finally around the
bend. This area in particular can become very badly stained.
The second and important site for dirt and debris accumulation
is under the rim, from where the flush water appears.
The brush should have its bristles orientated in such a way
that it makes scrubbing under this rim easy. The handle should
be firm but not completely rigid. If it is not firm then little
pressure can be exerted in the brushing process because the
handle simply bends. If it is completely rigid then you will
not be able to get to all the surfaces at the base of the bowl.
Avoid handles that are screwed on. Invariably in the brushing
action these can unscrew and you will be continually screwing
them back together. Metal handled ones are frequent offenders
here. Do not purchase brushes that have guards on them that
also act as lids to the holders. This attachment just gets in
the way of correct brushing and will not allow the brush to
reach all the parts that are necessary. Do not be unduly swayed
by advertising, which indicates that toilet brushes are
unhygienic and hot beds of disease causing organisms. If they
are used in conjunction with a good toilet cleaner then
anything harmful will be killed despite what the brush may look
like. Unless of course it has been used to unblock the toilet in
which case it becomes caked in large pieces of faecal matter. In
these circumstances it is advisable to get rid of the brush and
purchase a new one. As they are subjected to daily use their
useful life is often short. So why pay a lot of money for a
designer brush that you will soon be throwing out anyway. Some
of the best brushes are the cheapest at no more than one pound
each. At those prices you can afford to chuck them out at the
first sign of wear or staining. At ￡20 you are going to be a
little more reluctant to seek a replacement. The cheap simple
brushes and holders.
