What's a toilet brush for?

[Orang Utan]

me too.

Said hastily after the missus - well trained aren't you?

 

[spanglechick]

another here for non sticky poo. wonder what does it... doctor Gillian would know... and diarrhorea is wet, so it flushes away, innit?

I have one for limescale (I hate limescale!) But my mum's never had one, cos they have a water softener, and so no limescale... and never a sticky mark. And I don't clean it cos i only use it with fresh water and bleach/detergent...

My shit isn't sticky. It just goes straight down and into the water usually. How the hell do people manage to get it all over the sides of the pan?

On very rare occasions I may need to wipe some away with some toilet paper which I then flush away.

And I chuck some bleach in once a week.

I wish I could poo like you. You're my plop idol.

My brush gets used only by me and mainly cleaning the filth that the dirty buggers I live with have left clinging to the pan

Why, thank you. No-one has ever said that to me before

This thread has inspired me to buy two bottles of bleach and some Dettol antibacterial kitchen cleaner on the way home.

 

[Shmu]

I challenge you to invite me round your house for a shit

Bet Anneka Rice never had that offer.

Fuckin' 'ell ICB, what are you saying?

Until I moved into my current lodgings, I'd've agreed with you 100%.

Unfortunately, this house has a toilet that would give Al Bundy apoplexy. The throat at the bottom of the bowl is narrower than a ... narrow thing, and the walls appear to be made of glue and sandpaper.

I have spent quite a lot of time aiming, but it's too hard. There is always something, and the flush ... is poor. Brush it is.

Good technique is to utilise the brush as one flushes...

Surely that would need a second flush? Otherwise you'd get paper stuck to the brush, which is a bugger to get off (speaking from experience like).

A handy tip for brush users: make sure the head is screwed onto the handle properly before use. I was late for work this morning when the head fell off into the bowl. It took me ten minutes trying to screw it back on without actually reaching in and touching it

Like something off the crystal maze it was.

I had a flat mate who regularly coated the sides of the pan with shite and never cleaned up. He was fucking minging. Our complaints went unheeded so I regularly used his toothbrush to scrub it off before giving it a quick rinse in the toilet bowl.

How do I follow that eh? How about

"What do you use to get under the rim and give it a good clean out?"

(Nice Spymaster, nice)

Second flush may well not be necessary - if all the stuff goes down smoothly you then have a fair bit of brushing time while the flush finishes. That's if you are very organised about the affair

Some toilets are crap at flushing. The one in the flat I'm in at the moment is rubbish, the streams of water don't touch the whole of the toilet and they are barely powerful enough to remove even the slightest stickypoo. Add that to the fact that it barely ever flushes the toilet paper down. The water seems to go around the paper, and the paper floats on top...

 

[mentalchik]

I work in a hospital and we have toilet brushes in all the toilets which we use as part of the cleaning routine !

Don't think they get really dirty as they are used with loo cleaners so often and if contaminated get thrown away !


At home it just gets cleaned with a cloth and bleach !

I voted c.

You know how people take pics of models and suchlike to the hairdressers and ask for their hair to be cut just like that?

Well, my son used to take the toilet brush to the barber's for the same reason.
