I'm honestly not even sure if we have a toilet brush in our house. It's not a tool we use to actually scrub our toilets, and needing it for "smears" has just never seemed to be an issue. We're not out to cruelly doom our guests to embarrassment by not displaying a toilet brush--it's just not an item we use and thus we don't keep one around. (We do have a plunger, but it's not kept in the bathroom.)
Are you saying you never need to clean any of your toilets or are you saying you use something other than a toilet brush? If the latter, what do you use instead?
A quick wipe with some toilet paper will easily clean a smear. A more thorough cleaning can be done with a rag or a sponge along with some sort of cleaning solution. I understand that there are people who will not put their bare hand in a toilet, but that's what rubber gloves are for.
Personally, I think toilet brushes are gross. Unless you bleach it after every use, it's more unsanitary than the toilet bowl itself!
I get what you are saying. But then the rubber gloves are gross, too.
My house and all of the houses in our neighborhood had basement toilets. The one in my old house was removed and sealed long before I bought it but still had an outhouse-like structure that I had dismantled and removed.
That made me wonder; when people first began having indoor toilets installed did some people think it was weird/gross to routinely use the bathroom inside their house when they usually went outdoors? Is that why these were in the basement? Or did they install the others at the same time?
I keep a bit of cleaning solution in the base of the brush container. I also clean it inside the toilet anytime I use it.
