CURVER Toilet Brush with Holder in Knitted Look, Brown, 14 x 14 x 43 cm

Product Information

Despite the powerful action of the durable bristles, we didn’t see any scratches, scuffs, or other damage to the bowl. The powerful silicone bristles would also be quite useful for cleaning grout and other bathroom surfaces—provided you use a different brush head, of course. We liked that the bristles felt barely damp after letting them dry for 24 hours—they smelled of plastic but not mildew.

Cleaning the toilet is no one’s favorite chore. We tested nine toilet brushes — both non-disposable and disposable — and brush-plunger combos and chose the SimpleHuman model as the best toilet brush because of its useful and clever design, cleaning power and mess-free storage. We also recommend the OXO – Good Grips, a hygienic budget option, and the best disposable toilet brush from Clorox makes cleaning the toilet and brush a mere minute-long process. Important features to considerThe OXO – Good Grips Hideaway Compact Toilet Brush is a slightly more affordable alternative to the SimpleHuman brush. The light-weight design doesn’t feel as luxurious, but it’s just as effective. The fact that the OXO is smaller also made it easier to hide out of sight. Its bristles are dense and long enough to reach under the rim, and its small head fits entirely into the bottom of the toilet drain. If you’re looking for a simple yet effective toilet brush that won’t fall apart after a couple of uses, this is the one. Even better, if you have a large house with numerous bathrooms, this is an affordable option to be able to keep a toilet brush in each bathroom. We were impressed at how well the plastic bristles cleaned off all the mask. The bristles were stiff, but they didn’t do any damage to the toilet. The handle was straight and can maneuver well within the toilet, but without a contoured design, it’s difficult to get the brush head into tighter spots. We did appreciate how easy it was to clean off the brush with just a bit of water.

Durability: We tested durability by pressing the bristles into the toilet bowl as hard as possible to see if they warped. We approximated what might happen when you’re cleaning a particularly dirty toilet or what might happen to your toilet brush with continued use over time. For disposable brushes, we assessed the ease of changing the disposable pad.The integrated cleaning solution on the brush head lathered up nicely in water, and it scrubbed away the clay mask easily. The slim design of the sponges made it easy to reach under the rim to clean, too. The bowl was clean in about five scrubs, and the brush head didn’t leave behind a single scuff or scratch, even with added pressure.

Some toilet brushes and their holders can be long, gangly contraptions, but not this one from Oxo. The slender handle is wider at the top for a comfortable grip, and the brush head fit into a compact orb of a self-closing container— the door flipped itself open and shut when we removed or replaced the toilet brush in the holder. The setup looked rather sturdy, but it did tip over when we nudged it, so be sure to store this in a corner where it can’t be overturned. 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. The bristles on the Boomjoy Toilet Brush head are made of widely spaced synthetic-rubber spikes, making it less brush-like, but more clean-feeling and easier to use than other brushes we tested. It dried especially well after testing, but because the brush spikes are more spread out, it took longer to clean the toilet and to get rid of all the toilet cleaner from the sides of the bowl. Using the brush felt like we were just swirling cleaning product around rather than actually scrubbing. The Mr. Clean – 440436 Turbo has dense bristles – even denser than the OXO – and an easy-to-hold handle. The bristles bent under pressure, but for the most part, they held their shape well. The Mr. Clean is similar in shape to the OXO, so it was also good for cleaning under the rim and at the bottom of the toilet.

We then tested the durability of the brush and bristles, applying pressure on the brush at several different angles in our test toilet to see how sturdy it was and whether the bristles scratched the inside of the toilet bowl.
