Brilio.net - Using a toilet brush to clean the bathroom is a common practice in maintaining cleanliness and preventing stains and unpleasant odors. Toilet brushes are specially designed to access hard-to-reach areas and help remove dirt that sticks to the toilet surface. Its use is very important in maintaining overall bathroom cleanliness, especially in areas that are prone to becoming breeding grounds for germs and bacteria.
However, although toilet brushes are very useful, their use can also be a source of spreading bacteria if not properly maintained. After use, toilet brushes often still contain dirt and bacteria that can grow in humid conditions. This can certainly cause re-contamination of the toilet or other areas in the bathroom when the brush is reused without being cleaned first.
Then to prevent the spread of bacteria, the toilet brush needs to be cleaned thoroughly. Luckily, a YouTube user tantibebersih once shared a simple trick in cleaning the toilet brush to make it more hygienic and odor-free. Through one of the videos uploaded, she admitted to only using simple ingredients found at home and in the kitchen.
As reported by BrilioFood from YouTube tantibebersih on Tuesday (8/27), the ingredients used are citric acid and disinfectant. In addition, he also relies on another kitchen ingredient, namely baking soda. A number of these ingredients will later be mixed and used to clean the toilet brush.

Next, prepare a bucket and fill it with hot water. Then add baking soda and citric acid. Then pour the liquid directly onto the toilet brush bristles. In addition to removing mold, this liquid can also help eradicate stains and unpleasant odors that stick to the bristles.

The last step, don't forget to hang the toilet brush. So, avoid just putting the toilet brush on the floor because it can increase bacterial and fungal contamination that makes the brush unhygienic. If hung, the toilet brush will stay dry and hygienic for a long time, so it stays clean.
