    It’d be nice if there were a lever to help remove the brush. I’d rather not physically manipulate the used brush with my hand.

      Don’t you clean your toilet brush after you use it?

      I don’t think I have ever seen a toilet brush with a lever to eject the brush. I also don’t think it solves much. You’d have to wash your hands anyway.

        …say hello to my little friend!..

        (basically a compact dish scrubbie + bleach detergent embedded into each disposable head: never have to touch the business end to load refills from the caddy nor to eject used scrubbies into the trash)

          So imagine you use that, would you lick your fingers right afterwards?

            It’s the difference between a large and a small pathogenic load. It seems as though everyone here believes themselves to be perfect hand washers when they likely are not. You can reduce the chance of an occurrence, but rarely can you completely negate it.

            No, you’d scrub your hands clean after washing the toilet using a toilet brush and gloves because you expect to perform the act many times across your utterly fallible life. Why introduce additional risk and hassle for no benefit? Frankly, obstinately arguing for extra chores, particularly ones involving poop water, doesn’t make sense to me.

              I just think that the head of the brush is a rather arbitrary threshold for when a toilet brush is considered icky or not. The whole thing, including your hands, go into the toilet when you use it. Being able to detach the brush head hand free is a very small but costly improvement. I’d go as far as calling it a false sense of security.

              Also, I wash my butthole when I shower. With my hand.

                I think one of us might be doing this wrong, as my hands never go into the toilet.

                But you wipe beforehand, right? So there has to be a certain amount of poo you’re willing to accept and a threshold beyond that. I wouldn’t choose to adhere to your poo threshold, is all.
