CURVER Toilet Brush with Holder in Knitted Look, Brown, 14 x 14 x 43 cm

Product Information

The design of this IKEA toilet brush is simple, yet effective. Attached to the long straight white handle is a sturdy brush head made from gray plastic bristles, which were concealed when we inserted the brush in the white plastic holder. Key details – Materials: Plastic; Dimensions: 37 x 9 x 9cm (HWD); Replaceable head? Yes; Mounting style: Free standing Then, we applied a thin layer of clay mask around our test toilet bowl and under the rim. After letting it dry for two minutes, we used the brushes to clean the toilet bowl. We used any integrated cleaning solution that came with the toilet brush, but otherwise we relied on the wet brush alone to clean the clay mask.

The OXO – Good Grips Hideaway Compact Toilet Brush is a slightly more affordable alternative to the SimpleHuman brush. The light-weight design doesn’t feel as luxurious, but it’s just as effective. The fact that the OXO is smaller also made it easier to hide out of sight. Its bristles are dense and long enough to reach under the rim, and its small head fits entirely into the bottom of the toilet drain.We chose 14 toilet brushes that best represented what is on the market and put them all through the same performance and ease-of-use tests. We found the Polder Sleek Stainless Steel Toilet Brush with Caddy was easy to maneuver and cleaned the toilet well. However, the brush’s rod was too long to store properly in its container. It tipped easily when bumped, plus there wasn’t enough room for the brush to dry properly, so mildew growth could be an issue. Although less than environmentally friendly, some Mumsnetters dispose of cheaper toilet brushes on a regular basis, as a way of keeping their bathrooms hygienic. If you fall into this camp, or are just after a (excuse the pun) bog standard loo brush, this one from Wilko is a perfect basic. It comes without a holder, so makes a good replacement for a worn-out or slightly gross brush. Key specs For water rings and those stains you thought you’d never get rid of, try a cleaning pumice. It’s a slightly different texture to the type you use on your feet, but it's the same principle - the stone gently exfoliates particles on your toilet bowl, leaving the porcelain stain-free. You can also use a pumice to remove rust and limescale from other appliances, but we’d recommend keeping a separate one for the toilet, for obvious reasons. Key specs The best toilet brush to buy in 2023 1. Oxo Good Grips Toilet Brush with Rim Cleaner: Best for stubborn dirt

We tested 16 toilet brushes at our lab in Des Moines, Iowa. We started by placing the brush in their included storage containers (where applicable) and bumped into them several times, noting if they tipped over or were sturdy enough to stay upright. This Flex Smart model has tough but widely-spaced silicone bristles on its brush head, allowing it to clean effectively without trapping dirt and water between the bristles. The brush head itself is flexible and ergonomically shaped, allowing it to move smoothly over the bowl and clean thoroughly, getting into hard to reach nooks and crannies. The long, kinked handle also makes it easier to clean, while making sure your hand never has to get too perilously close to the bowl you’re cleaning. There’s nothing worse than scrubbing away at stubborn stains and obscured rims on the toilet bowl, especially when you don’t have the best toilet brush for the job. Sometimes, no amount of toilet cleaner or bleach can save you from this fate, especially if you live in an area with particularly hard water that’s prone to limescale. We were impressed at how well the plastic bristles cleaned off all the mask. The bristles were stiff, but they didn’t do any damage to the toilet. The handle was straight and can maneuver well within the toilet, but without a contoured design, it’s difficult to get the brush head into tighter spots. We did appreciate how easy it was to clean off the brush with just a bit of water.When buying partner items like this one, your contract of sale will be with our Range Plus Partner instead of us. Another bristle-less brush, the Wunderbrush has a flexible, studded cleaning surface that sweeps around the toilet bowl, leaving it spotless. Both the handle and the head have a silver ion antibacterial coating, plus the handle’s really long, so you don’t have to get so close to the toilet bowl. Key specs The Mr. Clean – 440436 Turbo has dense bristles – even denser than the OXO – and an easy-to-hold handle. The bristles bent under pressure, but for the most part, they held their shape well. The Mr. Clean is similar in shape to the OXO, so it was also good for cleaning under the rim and at the bottom of the toilet.

We liked the Clorox Toilet Wand Disposable Toilet Cleaning Kit because the handle was long and it was easy to add and remove the brush head with just the touch of a button—no need to come anywhere near the dirty brush head. We were also happy to see that the Oxo Good Grips Toilet Brush with Rim Cleaner lived up to its name and offered a good grip as did the tapered handle on the Boomjoy Toilet Brush, though we wished the latter were a bit longer. When buying partner items like this one, your contract of sale will be with our Range Plus Partner instead of The Range.The toilet brush was comfortable to hold, but because there was no contour to the handle, the grip felt a bit slippery. The brush itself fits nicely in the slot in the base, but there is a bit of a learning curve with remembering to press the button at the tip of the handle to remove it. We liked how easily it slipped into the container, which is weighted at the bottom to prevent tipping. You might be thinking, “It’s a toilet brush.
