Bristles vs. silicone: There are two kinds of brush heads that make up the majority of the toilet brushes on the market: plastic bristles and silicone. While both kinds of toilet brushes will get your toilet bowl clean, most silicone brushes require a little more effort and wrist maneuvering than those with plastic bristles. Traditional plastic bristle toilet brushes are easy to use, clean well and are more readily available at local stores. On the other hand, silicone brushes trap less water in the brush head and can be more durable than traditional plastic bristle brushes.

The material you choose is ultimately a matter of preference, but Mallory Micetich, a home expert at Angi, recommends making “sure the bristles are easy to clean.” We found that it was easy to attach the scrub heads, which are made from biodegradable coconut husks. We just pressed the button to extend the claw and applied slight pressure to attach it to a sponge head. We liked that the bamboo handle was over a foot long, which made it easy to clean the toilet. It is an all-in-one bathroom household cleaner. No need for scrubbing brushes and other cleaning items. Power Drill Brush Scrubber The Simplehuman Toilet Brush with Caddy was sturdy, but it was also quite uncomfortable to hold and difficult to maneuver during cleaning. It didn’t have an impressive performance either— we found it smeared the clay mask around rather than actually cleaning it. 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.A toilet brush is a cleaning tool used to eliminate the dirt, grime, and residue left in your toilet bowl. It is typically constructed from plastic, silicone, and/or stainless-steel, consisting of a long handle with a bristled end, usually rounded or contoured in shape. The hexagon shaped sponge heads clean in hard-to-reach places under the bowl rim and drain for a deeper and faster clean to remove rust, calcium and lime stains.

This set is also on the more expensive side for a toilet brush, but it is made with attractive and high-quality materials, so we definitely think the value is there. The downside of TUSHY is that it is expensive, even for a regular toilet brush. When you consider that you also need to replace the brush head supply periodically (it comes with eight), the cost can start to add up. You can sign up for TUSHY’s subscription program to save some money, but you should still expect to pay for a new supply of brush heads now and then. We liked that the brush was small and compact, plus the design gave it a nice aesthetic. We thought the brush performed very well given its budget-friendly price.

If the discoloration keeps on appearing in the bowl after cleaning, there’s a good chance it’s mildew growing in the tank. We liked that the Tilswall Electric Spin Scrubber came with several scrub head options, but we couldn’t find a way to change them out without actually touching the brush. Though it cleaned up the clay mask, we found that two hands were needed to grip this long brush when it was held at certain angles. We would have also preferred there to be an included storage container. Simplehuman Toilet Brush with Caddy
