While a toilet brush may seem like a standard fixture in the bathroom, as it helps clean the bowl thoroughly, it may not be an ideal tool to have. An expert from @cotswoldclean recently shared insights on why you won’t find the essential toilet brush in their bathroom.
Taking to TikTok, the cleaning guru expressed disdain for the toilet brush, labelling it as one of the many things they “hated cleaning” and “would never have”.
Whether it’s the traditional brush or the rubber version, which was also recently criticised by another expert, this professional asserted that using them is simply “unhygienic.”
Instead, they recommended relying on bleach and a sponge for cleaning, with a reminder to protect hands and skin by wearing rubber gloves.

Since its sharing on the platform, the clip has garnered over 213k views, sparking a divided response despite the advice provided.
Many TikTok users expressed skepticism about ditching the toilet brush, with some even reiterating their loyalty towards it.
One user questioned: “Sorry but how are toilet brushes unhygienic?
“What do you do with your brush? it’s a cleaning aid. Bet you put bleach on mould too.”
Another echoed the sentiment, stating: “You never gonna see me putting my hands inside a toilet, even with gloves. I’ll keep my toilet brush.”
A different perspective was offered by someone who retorted: “Bleach is too toxic to regularly inhale. Rather be unhygienic with toilet brush.”
A TikTok user commented: ”I love my hose tap. 3 years and still sparkly clean.
”I agree on the hoover though, hate my shark.”
