Quick Answer
Rinse your toilet brush under flushing water after every use and let it drip for a minute. Store it upright in a clean caddy. Wash the caddy weekly and replace the brush when the bristles wear out. The caddy keeps a wet, dirty brush off the floor and keeps drips in one place.
Introduction
To keep a toilet brush hygienic, rinse it after every use and store it in a clean caddy. A toilet brush touches germs each time you use it. How you clean and store it decides if your bathroom stays clean or starts to smell.
Why does toilet brush hygiene matter?
A dirty toilet brush spreads germs and bad smells. Wet bristles hold dirt and germs.
If you leave the brush dirty, the dirt spreads to your floor, your hands, and the air in your bathroom. A clean brush stops bad smells before they start.
How do you clean a toilet brush after each use?
Rinse the brush in flushing water, shake it, let it drip, and place it in the caddy.
Rinse in the bowl
Hold the brush over the bowl after scrubbing. Flush, and hold the bristles in the clean water.
Rinse again
Use a little fresh water if the bristles still look dirty.
Shake off extra water
Do this over the bowl, not the floor.
Let the brush drip for about a minute
Rest the handle on the rim. Close the lid on it if you can.
Place it in the caddy
Stand it upright, with the bristles down.
How do you disinfect a toilet brush?
-
Soak the bristles once a week in toilet cleaner or diluted bleach. Follow the label.
-
Pour toilet cleaner or diluted bleach into the bowl.
-
Let the bristles sit in the bowl for about 10 minutes.
-
Flush the toilet, then rinse the brush well.
-
Let the brush drip dry before you return it to the caddy.
Why does a toilet brush caddy matter?
A caddy keeps a wet brush off the floor and holds drips in one place. It also does these things:
-
Keeps the brush off the floor: A wet brush on bathroom tiles leaves dirty water and spreads germs.
-
Holds drips in one place: You clean one spot instead of a whole floor.
-
Keeps the brush upright: Standing bristles dry better than bent, crushed ones.
-
Keeps your bathroom tidy: A brush in a caddy stays out of the way.

It has stains that will not come off.
