Woman admits to putting dirty toilet brush in dishwasher

How do you go about cleaning a toilet brush? A popular method is using bleach and hot water, or leaving it in the toilet bowl and adding a toilet freshener tablet that dissolves and kills germs. One Mumsnet user revealed they choose to place their toilet brush into the dishwasher ‘every few months’, and it’s caused an uproar on the forum. User Swizzle007 write: ‘I clean my toilet brush in the dishwasher every few months.’I just put the brush and holder in, on their own, on a hot wash and they come out like new.’A friend popped by this morning for coffee, and I opened the dishwasher to get out a couple of mugs, forgetting that I had put the toilet items in last night.’She totally freaked out, saying this is totally disgusting, and re-washed the mugs I had then taken out from the cupboard AND poured boiling water on them before she would allow me to make her coffee!!’Was my friend being unreasonable? The mugs and loo bush were washed in separate loads!!’ READ MORE: Best method to remove limescale from kettle – avoid lemon or vinegar ‘Gross!’ Woman causes uproar after admitting she cleans toilet brush in the dishwasher (Image: GETTY)Someone commented: ‘Is this a wind up? That’s disgusting!!’ And another added: ‘I don’t care how hygienic it is, just NO.’ A third chimed: ‘I’m with your friend – I wouldn’t have accepted a cuppa off you.’ Another understood the concept: ‘Well I suppose all the muck would be rinsed and drained away but it still sounds gross!’ One user suggested: ‘You do realise the first rinse in the dishwasher is recycled water? So you are washing your pots in poo.’ Someone else remarked: ‘It’s fine. My ex partner used to do the same. We’re both still alive. And still friends. You can make me a cuppa anytime. I spend my entire life making my own tea.’ If you don’t fancy putting your toilet brush inside your dishwasher, there are a few other ways to clean it. DON’T MISS…King Charles enjoys same drink every night ‘before dinner’ [INSIDER]Gardening expert on when to stop cutting grass or risk ‘die-back’ [EXCLUSIVE]Unusual method to cook roast potatoes without oven or air fryer [HACK] A toilet brush should be cleaned weekly to reduce germs and bacterial (Image: GETTY)You can also use natural products to clean a toilet brush. Squirt a healthy amount of white vinegar into the toilet bowl and let the brush soak in the water (obviously, after the toilet has been cleaned). Leave it to soak for several hours and then flush the toilet, making sure you lift the toilet brush up out of the water to be rinsed by the flushing water.
