Did you know that after each use your toilet brush should be cleaned and sanitized? It is important to let the toilet brush dry.
The toilet brush and holder should be cleaned and sanitized after each use if the brush isn’t allowed to dry thoroughly. If the toilet brush is allowed to dry then a monthly cleaning is all that is needed. A suggestion is after each use, close the toilet seat onto the brush and let it dry a bit while cleaning the rest of the bathroom.
Hydrogen Peroxide was discovered in 1818 by the French chemist Louis Jacques Thénard (1777–1857). It was first used commercially in the 1800 to bleach hats.
Hydrogen Peroxide is recognized by the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). According to CDC, hydrogen peroxide can be used against bacteria, viruses, fungi, spores and yeast.
