How to disinfect the toilet brush
One of the essential keys to cleanliness and order so that the toilet brush does not become a nest of germs, viruses and bacteria is to disinfect it regularly. The frequency will vary according to the level of use (the brush of a large family is not the same as that of an apartment where one person lives alone …). But, as a general rule, it is recommended to disinfect it at least once a week.
The simplest and least disgusting method to do it is to take advantage of when you disinfect the toilet. For example, when I do a thorough bathroom cleaning every week, I spray the inside of the bowl with one of those disinfectants designed to reach the nooks and crannies and leave the brush in the toilet.
Thus, while I am cleaning the bathroom, the product softens the dirt and disinfects both the bowl and the brush. And when I get to clean the toilet, right at the end of the bathroom cleaning process, I use the brush to scrub the bowl well and, rebound, the brush also cleans. Then I flush the cistern a couple of times to clear it, and that's it.
How to prevent mold from forming on the brush
The accumulation of mold is one of the dangers that should be avoided in a bathroom, since it can be harmful to health. And the brush, constantly getting wet, is one of the places where it tends to accumulate. How to avoid it? Very easy. First of all, when you buy your brush, look for a model in which it is suspended in the container that acts as a support. That is to say, that it is not touching the bottom where the liquid that drips after use accumulates.
And secondly, you can use this infallible trick to drain it well after using it. After use, put it on its side on the cup, with the brush inwards so that it drips inside and dries. And so that it does not fall inside, lower the seat, so that it is immobilized between it and the cup. Simple, but super effective. If you want more easy tricks, here we tell you how to clean the bathroom (well) in 5 minutes.
