Did you know that there are debates on the use of toilet brushes? Should a brush be used at all; clean or discard the brush after use; which is better - cheap or expensive; all are subjects whirling around the web. I do not intend to deal with any of them. I am here to enlighten you on the "other uses" of toilet brushes. Aren't you glad you stopped by today?
Here is a list of alternative uses compiled by Forward Parenting.com
"Walk-in Shower scrubber; rather than but several different sponges and scrubbers for the shower get a toilet wand with a curved neck. Spray with your normal cleaner,and scrub away! Saves you time and your back.
•Base boards;a softer toilet brush with no opening in it,since they’re made to scrub porcelains, they don’t scratch, and get in all the nooks and crannies.Use a diluted multi-purpose spray. Wipe with a paper towel or dry after you’re finished. I vacuum my baseboards to minimize how often I have to scrub.
•Door frames, molding; same idea as above.
*note,this won’t work on any unsealed surface,or chipping paint, use a dry brush to loosen the dust, and then vacuum.
•Air vents; spray with a diluted multi purpose cleaner,then scrub! Dry and then follow with a vacuum cleaner hose with brush.
•Tile floor grout; Any grout cleaner works,this just gives you a little more “elbow” to your elbow grease!
•Patio furniture
•Decks
AND a recommended use from my sister - use to clean the garbage disposal. She swears by it.
Really, anywhere you need a good scrubbing,a toilet wand/brush can be used,since they have a longer handle than most hand scrubbers,they are cheaper than most scrubbers sold,it saves your fingers and nails, and you get to stand a little taller."
I have lifted the lowly toilet brush from its usual crappy jobs to those that have a nicer ring to them.
Meanwhile ... keep it simple and make it real.
