You might not use your toilet brush daily, but it doesn't mean that it lasts forever - it's one of the dirtiest items in your bathroom.
You should clean it regularly, for sure - but you still need to replace it at some point.
Here is why you should replace your toilet brush at least once a year to keep your bathroom hygienic.
Hygiene
Toilet brushes are used to clean one of the dirtiest places in your home – the toilet bowl.
Even with regular cleaning, germs and bacteria can build up on the brush bristles and the handle.
Wear and Tear
The bristles on the brush can wear down and become less effective at scrubbing away stains and dirt in the toilet bowl.
Odor
Old toilet brushes can start to smell bad due to the accumulation of bacteria and residue from the toilet. This odor can spread in your bathroom.
Health
Using a dirty toilet brush can potentially expose you to harmful bacteria and make your cleaning less effective.
Conclusion
Even if you clean your toilet brush regularly, it's still better to replace it once or twice a year - just in case.
That's how you can make sure your bathroom is more hygienic and less potentially dangerous to you and your family.
