Ahh, toilet brushes. Everybody’s favorite dinner table conversation. Ok fine, perhaps not. But, while they’re not the most glamorous topic, but they’re a bathroom essential.
And it’s well worth looking at the different kinds there are to choose from, so that you find one that works best for you.
Let’s break it down: the types of toilet brushes
A traditional toilet brush is your basic, no-frills toilet brush. These brushes usually come in a plastic or ceramic container and are created with a long stem so that you can reach the places that need it most. While it is possible to get some well-made designs for traditional brushes, they tend to be more on a budget end of the brush spectrum and also have the potential to trap germs because of the brush style used.
Then there are more exclusive toilet brushes, where you can find geometrical designs often in a stainless steel casing. While the brush itself may be like a traditional brush, these offer a discreet look and offer other convenient features, like attaching them to a wall so they don’t fall over.
Silicone brushes have become increasingly popular. These types of brushes are known for their sleek and simplistic model which are better at staying hygienic because they are easier to clean.
Then there are disposable toilet brushes, which are created for a one-time use where you will usually buy them in a pack of multiples. These are a great option if you don’t want a physical toilet brush in the bathroom, and you also don’t have to clean them which can be off-putting for some. Keep in mind, though that they’re not the most environmentally sustainable option.
Electric toilet brushes are also super convenient as they take away the need to scrub manually. They’re powered by batteries or electricity and are usually more effective at cleaning. However, they can be on the pricey side.
How to choose
When faced with multiple options for the styles and types of toilet brushes, it can be hard to choose which one would be best suited for you. Some things to keep in mind here are your lifestyle and the amount that you would be willing to spend on one.
For example, if you have children in the house, an electric brush or a toilet brush that comes with a ceramic case probably isn’t the best choice. Alternatively, if you are living alone, you will probably prefer a toilet brush with extra features over a basic plastic brush.
Ultimately, pick the one that fits your lifestyle and budget, and remember to scrub away!
