I keep my toilet brush right there for easy access. Do I use it every time I make a skid? Hell no! With the blue toilet in my main shitter I can barely see the skids. We hardly use the white toilet upstairs for our fecal needs. As a result, the upstairs toilet brush is rarely used.

Now there's a question for you guys. For those of you with a house with 2+ bathrooms, do you have multiple toilet brushes, or just one because you're cheap and lazy? When we moved from our one bathroom apartment, I figured our bathrooms could share, but then I decided that having to carry a toilet brush up the stairs was not worth saving four bucks. I never bought a plunger for upstairs though. I want to discourage people from shitting in that bathroom.

We just switched to the disposable Clorox Toiletwand. It's FANTASTIC! Not to be confused with an inferior brand (which are difficult to get on and off,
this one clicks on easily, suds up very well, is good and scrubby, and clicks into the trash with no effort at all.

We have one in each bathroom, because the box came with a "Bonus Wand" (which sounds a bit rrrrude!)

I'm with the Blaster on this one. I keep the brush right there next to the toilet, but I have NEVER used it to get rid of toilet graffiti.

Let me clarify that. I DO clean my toilet. In fact:

Saturday night we went out drinking. I had one or five too many vodka & cran's, and maybe I puked a little when I came home. Sunday I spent lounging miserably about the place. I just can't drink like I used to. (I turn 24 next month. How sad is that?!) Monday I looked at the toilet brush and noticed it was a little bit red. I don't actually remember this, but the forensic evidence shows that I used the toilet brush to clean up the barf streaks I left in the toilet. Apparently, I just forgot to clean up the toilet brush. Whoops!

Oh, and GGG, haha, "Bone-us Wand." That makes me think of the Ford "Fuck-us."

Hah! I get it; that's funny, too! I was more thinking a double penis. Bonus. Wand.

I keep it right where I can grab it. Right next to the toilet. That way if it gets all shitty I don't get any other part of my house shitty and germy.

Sorry, AssBlaster. I wasn't trying to say that you never clean up your skidmarks. I was just saying that I voted for the same one you did.

Back at home (not home anymore, dunno what else to call it, i dont really have a home), there used to be a brush at each of the three toilets, but I haven't seen one in a while. The toilet next to my room (featured in This Old Toilet Thanks again for the title Dave!) never gets cleaned, so I voted "What's a toilet brush?" I never used one when I remember having it. The old toilet relies on flushing alone. It's the oldest in the house, as the other two were added when the house was added to.

Practicing the ancient Chinese art of double flushing... because sometimes, a single flush just isn't enough.

No worries, Pipe. I didn't think you were implying that. My post made it sound like that.

We have a toilet brush in every bathroom in the corner. However, I did make a point to buy a rather expensive ceramic holder for the guest bathroom so it doesn't look terribly gauche.

I'm considering the disposable toilet wands, but I'm not yet sure whether or not it's better to flush caustic chemicals down the toilet or use the disposable ones and make more garbage. Decisions decisions.

Well, the disposable ones have caustic chemicals in them, too. The brush is soaked in it and dried. The cleaner is activated by the water in the bowl. So I guess the disposable ones are BOTH caustic AND landfilling. Rats.

They work very well, though. *sigh*

Daphne, I figured you would have a great non-toxic solution (solution) for us!

I would think vinegar could work, as it's the one thing I use when I'm confuseded about what to use. Vinegar is a pretty good cleaner and disinfectant, but it's not as good as old fashioned bleach, and I don't know if it would upset the bacteria in my septic tank.

I do know my gramma used to use baking soda and vinegar once in a while. I should call her and ask about it.

Baking soda and vinegar clears out drains. Use some good old fashioned bleach for those tough jobs.

If your stinker likes to linger, please be nice and flush it twice.

In a bucket in the corner, in plain sight. I have a tiny bathroom in a tiny apartment, so I don't have the luxury of being genteel about it and storing it away somewhere. I don't clean for every skidmark, though, because the boyfriend is a rather prolific shitter, and if I worried about every skidmark I'd never leave home. Gotta let some shit slide, literally, ya know? Unfortunately, the toilet is white.

I have one in every bathroom. I clean once a month, and each gets used then. BUt I don't usually clean up skid marks. I just let the flush take care of it.

I'm with daph. The disposable ones seem great, and convenient, but I already have toilet brushes. I don't have a septic tank, so I could test it out.

As a 25 year old man, I can honestly say I might have used a toilet brush once. I really don't know how the hell to work one, nor do I care. My shitter is usually clean, and I thank the ones involved in that process!

I'm thankful that there are people who come every morning on weekdays and make the halls and bathrooms sparkle and shine and smell like oranges... at least for a few minutes. People keep dirtying them up.

If you use bleach, make sure to flush it before you leave the toilet area, because the next person in might not realize there is bleach in the toilet, and urine contains ammonia...ammonia+bleach=mustard gas. I had a friend actually pass out from this mixture in his toilet...thusly it is not a laughing matter...ok it is but just not in front of him.

I always flush after using any sort of toilet cleaner. I gotta know though, what comes of those toilet tablets (i.e. 2000 Flushes) that are supposedly made with bleach?

I don't use a toilet brush. Doesn't get up into all the nooks and crannies well enough to suit me. I use Comet, a sponge, and my bare hand. With all that Comet, my hand is cleaner coming out of the bowl than it was going in.

Toilet brushes more or less just scratch at stains and don't really do an effetive job. Oh well. I never clean the toilet anyway. Dumpster, the sponge sounds like a good idea. At least I have better control over what gets cleaned.

Pissing on poo stains is more affective than some of those new fangled disposable brushes. I stopped using those stupid things and just returned to traditional hard bristles.

You have a point, TSV. And I have the advantage of having a crude form of aim, thus adding to my skidmark peeing offy ability. Woo. I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who does this.

_______
Have you checked out Sloan's Uppercut yet?

TSV pees standing up. I want to know, though, how do women aim in such a situation?

Not all women do. Just those of us who have mastered belly dancing and the hula.

_______

You got a video uplink, perchance, TSV??

[I would pay to view....]

That, I must say, would be interesting. Due to something that's really wrong inside my head, I know how women can pee standing, and I can understand TSV's statement that only the highly flexible/agile can aim. Makes sense to me. There's no flexible pipe there, so to speak.

_______
Sometimes it jus[MESSAGE TRUNCATED]

I have an etagere (sp) over both the toilets in my home. A toilet brush and plunger rest between one of the "legs" of the etagere and the toilet.
It's easier for me to keep them close and it's considerate to guests. I don't want anyone to be embarrassed because they clogged my toilet, so I make the tools they need to unclog/clean readily available.

Hmm... could we mix the video and have The Dumpster next to TSV copying her hula? I'd love to see that...

I store my brush in back of the toilet. It is right there when I need it.

Jammin' lo'flo's since 1977.

I like to use my toilet brush every day - some people call me a clean freak however i see the picture of basic hygiene more clearly than them. Hygiene afterall was the best improvement to mankind for milleniums.

A couple of weeks ago I bought a cool, in wall toilet brush cabinet called Brush Away. They have a website www.brushaway.com. Just like they said, it installs easily and works great. Now my toilet brush is close by for routine cleaning and emergencies, but its almost invisible.

lets hear it for fiber!!

Having only just seen this thread - thank you GGG for making me chuckle!! A toilet wand!!! Who thinks these things up!? I shall never see the old brush again without thinking of that! But, sadly, in England, I won't be asking for one!

I took rick (M's) suggestion and installed a Brush Away. It is a very great solution to this annoying issue. Now da brush is right next to the toilet. Easy and available. Another thing I have noticed is the handle does not get splashed as I am peeing (other males as well).

Happy pooing
