OXO Toilet Brush

curve.jpg

Handy help for hands-free cleaning. We just started using the Curve Toilet Brush by OXO and we love it. And they make a plunger, too...

 
 

02.15.OXO-brush2.jpg The Curve Toilet Brush by OXO makes cleaning the toilet a little less of a chore. Here's how it works: Lift up on the brush and its stand opens. Replace the brush and the stand closes around it. No worrying about where to store the thing when you aren't using it and the stand is about as attractive as one could hope for when it comes to toilet brushes. Sells for about $22.

I have something similar, the hands free Plunger, by Clorox. They put some kind of antimicrobial in the base, to supposedly keep the plunger from contaminating it. I don't know, I replace plungers pretty regularly. Let's face it, they're not the most sanitary things to keep around!

Just started? I think I've had mine for 10 years. The design has changed slightly over the years - for the better. I keep one by each toilet to make cleaning less of a chore - Actually, it is one of the house cleaning "chores" I like. It is so easy! Like Anthy, I have the similar plunger, but OXO.

I have one. Sometimes the base closes while I'm using the brush, and it's a bit of a nasty pain to get it back open. Otherwise I like it.

I have the plunger like this because I just hate looking at plungers in bathrooms - gross!

My toilet bowl brush is in a similar, but less expensive stand because I do replace them more often.

I have this with the toilet plunger and it closes on me when I'm using it. It is also kind of difficult to get the thing out in the first place.

I have this, but don't love it. Looks great, but I think the disposables are a better option. The scrubber on these can eventually rust.

Wish I'd bought the Oxo plunger instead. I don't consider a plunger disposable, and conventional plungers are even uglier than most toilet brushes. Also, the wooden handles on conventional plungers always end up splitting and getting splinters in your hands. Yech.
