Product Information

Brush head shape: Germs can get trapped and be forgotten under the rim of the toilet. Look for brushes with a rim cleaner or ones that have a shape that can easily be maneuvered to reach under the rim. Round, bristle and silicone brush heads were the easiest to maneuver in our tests. Cleaning with flat silicone brushes took a little more effort than we would like.

When you’re done cleaning, any water on the brush drains down into the storage cup to easily be emptied—no stagnant water sitting to create bacteria and odors. And if it needs a thorough cleaning, you can pop the whole thing in the dishwasher. If there’s any downside, it’s that this brush set is really only suitable for shorter water bottles. With over five years’ experience in beauty and health journalism, Florence has written for ELLE, Women’s Fitness, Sister Magazine, National Geographic Traveller and many more, with a strong sustainability angle thread through much of her work. We asked our panel of 195 beauty testers to trial a range of cleansing tools and brushes for four weeks. We first removed branding to avoid any bias.With an 18-inch design, this bottle brush is perfect for cleaning taller water bottles—especially considering the bristles extend approximately two-thirds of the way down the brush. The stiff plastic bristles sit atop flexible wire, so the brush can bend to hit the bottle at all the curves and nooks and crannies. This feature also makes this an exceptional brush for oddly-shaped water bottles and vessels like vases. Still, the bristles are still firm enough to provide a good scrubbing. And, even though the top of the brush is made of flexible wire, the handle is a sturdier plastic to help you get a solid, comfortable grip. It also has a hang hole at the end for convenient drying and storage. Shopping for a toilet brush seems pretty simple, but here are a few things to keep in mind to find the best one for your home.

Most people don’t treat their reusable water bottles the same way they would another cup—that is, they don’t necessarily clean them after every use. But for both hygienic purposes and longevity, a water bottle should be emptied and cleaned daily or after each and every use, says Nathaly Vieira, founder of cleaning company Inspire Clean. “This is particularly important for reusable bottles that may have been exposed to things like dirt, dust, and food particles.”After spreading a sunflower butter paste onto the inside of a toilet bowl and allowing it to air dry for 20 minutes, each brush was used to clean the bowl with no additional toilet bowl cleaner (except for the Clorox ToiletWand, which has cleaner built into the scrubbing head). This silicone brush has a long 14-inch handle that has no trouble reaching the very bottom of most water bottles. And for those who don’t want to deal with misshapen, shedding nylon bristles, silicone is a fantastic alternative. The silicone bristles on this brush are softer—aka less likely to scratch your water bottle, especially if it’s glass—plus are more resistant to odors and bacteria. The silicone design also makes for a softer, more comfortable grip, leading to less hand fatigue while you clean. Mops and brooms are ideal for a number of floor types - particularly floorboards, laminate and tiled floors. Sometimes your soap and flannel just won’t cut it. Give your skin a helping hand by investing in a cleansing brush to help get rid of make-up and grease. There’s a standard scrubbing brush to get all of the inside edges of a small bottle, a smaller brush for crevices in the rim and cap, and two brushes more suitable for cleaning narrow pathways, like straws.
