Top 10: Bathroom Toilet Brushes

Earlier this year our east coast brethren did a Top 10: Toilet Bowl Brushes post. But we wanted to revisit with our own ATLA Top 10 with ten more brushes that stand out in utility and form:

GEDY Toilet Brush: the choice of Estelle and J. Paul Getty (and perhaps even Geddy Watanabe).
Wall Hung Toilet Brush and Holder: a well hung, wall hung idea.
Strike Toilet Brush: clean that 3-10...umm...split with this gutterball cleaning tool.

Cane Toilet Brush Holder: hand painted using a meticulous 18-step French tole process, a cleaning scepter for your throne

Boxed White Ceramic & Dark Wood Base Toilet Brush Holder: simple, but tasteful.

Casacolor Bowl Brush Set: All dressed up in a damask print to match your upholstery.

Retracto Toilet Brush-Cover: Umbra's teardrop shaped brush and cover would nicely compliment a Henry air purifier, don't you think?

Contour Bowl Brush: if Frank Gehry designed toilet brushes, it might look like this.

Simplehuman toilet brush: the pivot door action makes for easy access.

Brush-Away In-Wall Toilet Brush Cabinet: hide it all away with this in-wall, magnetic catch cabinet.

They're all gross. They all rust out and get cruddy. Even though they're ugly, my next toilet brush is gonna be one of those disposable jobs.

I either have #6 or one just like it, and the nice thing is you can change out the damask pattern for anything else you'd like.

I have #1 and it doesn't work that well.

No worries greg... i was just wondering because i am in the market for a new brush of my own (i really liked the hideaway idea, but not sure how the cover would look in my bathroom).

In the meantime, i've come up with a (somewhat) clever solution... the cheap-o disposable "refill" toilet brushes from big box retailers (i'm using LOSSNEN from ikea the grip/handle from my old brush), and an old vase that i never used, but remarkably, fits with my bath decor... maybe i should just buy a newer handle...

Can anyone recommend an attractive and effective toilet plunger? (Sadly, Alessi's "diver" looks more like a sink plunger.)

i have a disposable drug store type brush and let me tell you, it may not be good for the environment, but this is an area i wouldn't care to go green.

I have found an amazing toilet brush holder called Brush Away.
They do not have a great website but it is a cool recessed toilet brush cabinet

www.brushaway.com

It only took me about 10 minutes to install it and now I don't have to look at the dang thing at all
