SUBSCRIBE FOR MORE CLEANING TIPS How do you use a silicone toilet brush? A toilet brush is designed to clean inside of your toilet. And all along I’ve been using this old school kind. The problem is, they’re filthy, messy and unhygienic. So I want to switch to a silicone toilet brush - but is it better??? Start by putting on some cleaning gloves. I buy Brillo brand cleaning gloves. I got these from the Dollar Tree. I have several and don’t feel bad if I have to toss them after cleaning a really nasty toilet since it’s only $1. Gloves protect your hands and sleeves from toilet bowl water splatter. Some people may even wear eye protection. Because no one wants toilet splashes in their eyes - gross! Ok I don’t wear goggles, but if you’re a serious clean freak you might. Begin by applying toilet cleaner to the toilet bowl, and give it some time to sit. I use Lysol brand, which is a pretty strong chemical that you don’t want on your hands. The reason is I want to disinfect as well as clean the toilet and you can get it to stick to the inside of the rim. If you want something that’s safer for your skin, kids and pets, we love the Force of Nature. It costs a bit more but it disinfects and is a lot safer than strong chemicals. You can use homemade cleaners or even some vinegar in place of toilet cleaner, but they won’t kill germs. While the cleaner sits, spray the exterior of the toilet with an all-purpose disinfectant, again, like Force of Nature. Start with the exterior, and work from the top of your toilet to bottom. Why? Gravity. You want to prevent dripping on already clean surfaces. I use a microfiber cloth, after testing a bunch of them, I get Mr. Siga. If you’re on a budget the Dollar Tree has them for $1 or even 50 cents each, depending on the size. If the toilet is extra dirty or you’ve got a lot of hair and stuff on it, you may want to wipe it down with paper towels and toss them in the trash. Be sure to get the top, tank, handle. Then the lid of the toilet. Finally, wipe down the entire outside of the bowl. Once the exterior is clean, use a toilet brush to clean the bowl. A regular toilet brush has all of these plastic bristles that can get so gross and trap bacteria. Also it’s easier to get toilet splatter on yourself because the bristle sprays you. Get the rim. You know the area underneath the rim where water pours out? Since this is out of sight, many people don’t scrub it. Don’t ignore this area! Use your brush to clean the underside of the rim. Also clean inside the hole at the bottom. When done, flush the toilet. How do you clean a toilet brush? You should rinse off your toilet brush after every use and clean it when it gets dirty, or every few months. These things get dirty! The great thing about a silicone toilet brush is you can throw it into the dishwasher. And I looked for a silicone toilet brush that had a holder that is vented at the bottom so it doesn’t marinate in toilet water. A toilet brush caddy with proper ventilation allows the brush to dry completely between uses to avoid bacteria buildup. Some even have holders that are clear and stick to the walls so you can store it out of site. They’re smaller anyway and so they won’t take up as much space.
