Assortment of standard plastic brushes
To begin with, we divide them depending on the material of manufacture. A modern toilet brush can be:
- Stainless steel, metal;
- Chrome plated;
- ceramic;
- plastic;
- Silicone.

Yes, such models actually exist. Most importantly, when buying, you should focus not on price, but on quality. Cheap plastic breaks quickly, will last quite a bit. Metal models will allow you to forget for many years what it is to buy brushes. And if the metal is also of very high quality, the accessory will not lose its luster and visual appeal.
And this is important
Now let's talk about the type of toilet accessory.
- Glass. Such a toilet brush is located in a special glass, containers lying on the floor.
- Suspension. The accessory is hung on the wall, and a container is placed directly under it, where, own, all the water drips.
- Wall. The device is mounted on the wall, where there is also a container for draining liquid.
The choice depends entirely on you, on the features of the design solutions in the plumbing unit, the needs in terms of physical capabilities. For example, it is difficult for older people to bend over, as a result of which a floor-mounted toilet brush will not work. Or small children use the toilet, and the ruff is high on the wall. Also not an option. So think, think.
What to look for when choosing
To successfully combat pollution, it is important to choose a quality ruff. Modern high-quality brushes differ:
- practicality;

- aesthetics.
When choosing a toilet brush, you should pay attention to some important features. The handle should not be too short or vice versa too long.
Made of hard, smooth material (not bending). The bristles should be moderately hard and made of artificial material. A brush that is too soft will not clean the surface well.
The brush should be combined with the overall interior of the toilet room. Do not catch the eye and do not stand out from the general background. Toilet brush disinfectants will help keep this accessory clean and fight germs and bacteria. Indeed, for disinfection, it is not enough just to wash the ruff with soapy water. It is better to use specialized chlorine-based cleaners. For example, "Domestos", "Toilet Duck", "Cilit Bang", Whiteness. When working with chlorine-containing products, it is imperative to wear gloves, as chlorine can cause burns to the skin.
Disinfection can be done with vinegar essence. Be sure to wear rubber gloves and, if possible, protect the respiratory tract. (The essence has a pungent odor). To combat microbes and bacteria, hydrogen peroxide, boric acid and manganese solution are suitable. For disinfection, you can prepare a solution from improvised means. Mix soda, vinegar and boiling water.Leave the brush in the resulting solution for one hour. This simple solution is great for disinfecting your toilet brush.

If we have a toilet brush an indispensable assistant for maintaining cleanliness, then European and American housewives have no idea what it looks like. How to use it and why you need it at all. It's all about the differences in toilet designs. In European and American toilets, flushing water constantly washes away traces of a visit to a person. And in post-Soviet designs, draining is carried out in portions. Therefore, American and European housewives do not need to use a brush.
